If you were wondering who else you could rely upon besides Hot Topic to provide your The Twilight Saga: New Moon apparel, wonder no more.
A very recent press release has just let us know that Nordstrom, "one of the nation's leading fashion specialty retailers . . . located in 28 states" just "partnered with Summit Entertainment to launch an exclusive fashion and jewelry collection inspired" by The Twilight Saga: New Moon.
According to the press release,
Created by Awake, Inc., the apparel collection centers around fitted screened T-shirts, tanks and hoodies that reflect the mood and spirit of the film. Twilight fans can choose from designs that show their affinity for vampire Edward Cullen with a "Team Edward" logo or werewolf Jacob Black with a "Team Jacob" logo. Other T-shirts feature film-related lines such as "Bet You Can't Read My Mind" and imagery such as "Forks High School Phys. Ed. Dept." and the tattoo design worn by the werewolf pack. Plaid tunics and jackets inspired by the style and setting of the film round out the lifestyle collection. Prices range from $32 for a T-shirt to $58 for a jacket.
The collection of silver and gold-plated fashion jewelry created by Nordstrom includes necklaces, bracelets, earrings and key fobs. "I love Edward" and "I love Jacob" heart pendants hang from chains, and bracelets and key fobs feature film-related charms including Bella's truck, Jacob's motorcycle, vampire family crests, a moon, wolf and feather.
"We hope to bring the Twilight experience into our stores through fashion for our customers," said Loretta Soffe, Nordstrom executive vice president and general merchandise manager for women's apparel. "The line allows customers to show their love for the film by creating a whole look with pieces from the collection or combining with other merchandise to create a unique look of their own."
Beginning July 23, customers can count down to the premiere of The Twilight Saga: New Moon at [their website]. Nordstrom stores will host kick-off events in November for customers to celebrate the film, including advance screening parties.
Who'd have thought it? Nordstrom meets New Moon. Interesting, isn't it?

i was just at the mall yesterday, in nordstrom, and i kept seeing plaid shirts and jackets. i like plaid, and thought id get one because its obviously "in" right now, but instead of getting something for $60, i went to goodwill and got a shirt for $4.99 :D
this is SUCH a ploy to get the younger crowd BACK into Nordstrom. this store became the store to go to when mommy or grandma dragged you for back to school shopping for Mary Janes, or jumpers, or when you needed a black tie Sweet 16 dress, or a dress for your older cousin's wedding. they are trying SOOO hard, almost too hard, to get the crowd they know has the cash flow and the movies/books are geared to. and while charging $60 for a jacket is genius, in today's economy, it's just plain stupid.
