>> L'Wren Scott Prepping Brand for Growth —Although she says it's too early to talk specifics, L'Wren Scott confirmed recently that she's positioning her brand, which focuses on dresses in the $1,500 to $3,000 range), for growth.  A website that will eventually include e-commerce is in the works (the label is currently sold at CoutureLab.com and Net-a-Porter) and she would also like to open stores — “bricks and mortar are very important in getting your vision across” — and expand into the contemporary market. There's also a project with Lancome being hammered out. Scott currently owns 100 percent of the label, but she says she would consider changing that should the right investor come along. [WWD]

>> Garance Dore has been experimenting more and more with video content on her blog, and there's a reason, she tells The Huffington Post in a recent interview: "My dream project is to do a movie . . . about girls and life and fashion. But it's really a dream project. I'm not even at the beginning of it."

But she says for now, "more realistic[ally]," there's television. Dore's boyfriend, The Sartorialist's Scott Schuman, hinted about a TV project at the end of last year, and Dore brings the subject up again:

We're working on a TV show with Scott. We don't know yet exactly what form it's going to have. It's the same thing: why would we do a classic TV show, when the world is changing? And the world of media is changing? So we are working on the concept. We want something that talks to the people very easily and that you can see on the Internet.

The show wouldn't follow her or Schuman »

The Jil Sander Group announced today the creation of a lower-priced label, called Jil Sander Navy. The new line will be a casual, unconstructed counterpoint to the main collection's sharply tailored silhouettes (at left: spring 2010) consisting of loose outerwear, lightweight jersey and easy knitwear. The range includes T-shirts, dresses, pants, skirts, jackets, and jeans as well as a selection of accessories (handbags, footwear, and belts).

"I will continue to open up the Jil Sander brand by pushing its boundaries and introducing new elements to reinforce and widen the attraction to the house," stated creative director Raf Simons via press release. Simons also recently designed a collection of jewelry with Damiani.

Jil Sander Navy will launch globally in stores and online next January with a spring 2011 collection.
