CC annual clothing drive, exchange nearing

Cowley College education majors will once again be collecting items for the Annual Clothing Drive and Exchange event scheduled for Nov. 3.Last year they collected more than 7,000 articles of clothing and hope to surpass 10,000 this year to assist families in the community.They will be collecting winter clothing to meet the needs of those in the area who might be economically challenged and unable to purchase winter attire. Clothing will be accepted for all sizes and ages, with a main focus of meeting the needs of children (birth to 18) in the community. Clothing needs include pants, long sleeved shirts, coats and shoes.
Clothing may be delivered to Cowley College's Social Science Office, located in the basement of the Brown Center of the main campus and open Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Clothing can be dropped off between the dates of Sept. 1 to Nov. 1.Rachel Zoe's clothing empire might soon be in shreds — sources say her line isn't selling well in stores and her Bravo reality show may also be in trouble.
The pin-thin stylist-turned-designer has become a household name from styling A-list clients including Jennifer Garner, Anne Hathaway and Demi Moore, and through her Bravo reality show, "The Rachel Zoe Project." Last summer, she launched a clothing line with Chinese retail giant Li & Fung.But despite the large promotional platform of her Bravo show, we hear the line isn't doing well at stores including Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale's and Nordstrom, with industry insiders snipping that interest in the line has "peaked."To add insult to injury, sources tell us that Zoe's assistant, interior designer Jeremiah Brent, is getting his own reality show on the network.Pregnant Megan highlights her growing baby bump in a clingy floral dress.Brent, who redecorated Zoe's Hollywood home on the show, appeared on "Zoe Project" in Season 4, having been fired and rehired by Zoe and her husband, Rodger Berman.Brent appears to have moved on and started his own business, Jeremiah Brent Design, as shown by photos of his office on Twitter. He would be the third Zoe assistant to get a reality show, including Brad Goreski ("It's a Brad Brad World") and Taylor Jacobson, who appears in Oxygen Network's upcoming "Hollywood Unzipped: Stylist Wars."
A rep for Zoe, who will show at Lincoln Center during New York Fashion Week, didn't comment. But Alan Chartash, the chief strategy officer for Li & Fung USA, said: "We're very happy. Apparel launched a year or so, and since that time, we've launched footwear, handbags and we're launching a line of jewelry exclusively with Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman. We're supportive of Rachel and the continuation of the brand. Like any clothing line, it ebbs and flows, but we're very happy with the apparel sales."
