Dean’s Advisory Council ? Outside the Park Issue 3, November 2013 Hello, Alumni! Entertainment Famous singer, Adam Levine, is launching his own clothing collection for Kmart in the upcoming year. The President of the company, Bernt Ullman, states that Levine’s line is on track to be Kmart’s most successful celebrity collection launch thus far. The line focuses on “basic, simple and timeless” womenswear at an affordable price, as described by the singer. Do you think Levine has what it takes to make this a successful collection launch?
