What's going on here? The recession is hitting all of the big players in the industry. Just think, last week the word was out that Vera Wang's Lavender Label was being dropped from several of its stockists, and that's VERA WANG.

While more established brands seem to be hit by the world's economy, smaller designers like Christian Siriano are flourishing in this market. Last week it was confirmed that the designer will be stocked in Saks. Not bad eh?

In more Siriano news, WWD confirmed that the designer has just secured a cosmetics deal with Victoria's Secret. It looks like Project Runway judge and presenter Heidi Klum, who also has a cosmetics line with the brand, might have a challenge on her hands.
