Juicy Couture founders Pamela Skaist-Levy and Gela Nash-Taylor have launched an e-commerce site for their one-year-old line, Pam & Gela. Although the team has plans to open a flagship in the next few years, it's hoping the new site will become the brand's largest revenue source. {WWD}

Miss Vogue has also gone digital. The biannual teen magazine will appear as a vertical on Vogue UK's site and will feature beauty, fashion, celeb style and news updates. Our younger selves are slightly envious. {WWD}

Amazon is pushing further into the fashion industry -- and not just by selling clothes. According to unnamed sources, the digital retail giant is currently developing its own fashion and lifestyle labels in India. {Times of India}

Juicy Couture Hires American Eagle's Head Designer

If you love Juicy Couture's velour track suits--no judging, we promise--but find $196 price tag a bit jarring, good news: Liz Claiborne, the company that now owns Juicy Couture and kicked out founders Gela Nash-Taylor and Pamela Skaist-Levy about a year ago, has hired American Eagle's chief design officer LeAnn Nealz to head up the brand, reports WWD. It can be deduced that her role will not only be to update the brand's image, but also to make it even more mass than it already is. Which hopefully means slightly lower prices.
