I wonder why corp. decided to not have his line anymore...

 

[FrontEndKnowItAll]

Seems strange, and like the article said that his designs helped give us the "cheap chic" set us apart from other retailers. As for why anyone's guess is as good as mine.

Spot is committing suicide.....slowly & painfully.

did anybody ever notice that his pic used to be on the back of his kitchen products...and he had a crazy lazy wandering eye? Always gave me a chuckle.

Probably couldn't afford to pay him.

Or he was part of AE12 cuts.

Perhaps he has retired and won't be designing any more?? Hes 78 and has been paralyzed since 2003........

All good partnerships eventually come to an end.

With all the other big names jumping in with Target the last couple years it will not be too hard to find someone else with some cool designs to fill the void.
