JC Penney's actions are echoing its words.
Earlier this week, chairman and CEO Myron "Mike" Ullman said he wanted JC Penney to be the first choice of American families shopping for style.
The fall women's preview, held at New York's Industria Studios, echoed this sentiment. Organized by trend, the company put its faith in four areas – "Belle du Jour" classic French-influenced chic, "Vintage" looks, "Nocturnal" bling-y sportswear for going out, and "Uniformity" which takes the military looks from the runway and makes them mainstream.
With brands like Worthington, Allen B. I Heart Ronson, and Nicole by Nicole Miller filling out these groupings some ensembles can be had for less than $100. The company also had representation from Liz Claiborne, which will be an exclusive brand at JC Penney starting in the fall and Bisou Bisou by Michele Bohbot, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary.

This past week, designer Michelle Bohbot celebrated an evening of Fashion and Style by unveiling her Fall 2010 Bisou Bisou collection at New York City’s ultra exclusive cocktail bar Apothéke. Inspired by Europe’s classic champagne bars, opera houses and the absinthe dens of Belle Epoque Paris, Apothéke provided guests a cocktail experience that excited all their senses.

Who knew that behind that Bisou Bisou label was an accomplished artist whose canvases have been recognized by art dealers and critics alike.
Michele Bohbot, one of the founders of Bisou Bisou and its creative director, is in New York right now where one of her paintings is being shown at the exhibition "Fleurs 1880-2010," which opens May 6 at the Benrimon Contemporary gallery at 514 W. 24th St.
