(Norton) designs and contracts for the manufacture of a broad line of brand-name, moderately priced women’s career and casual clothing. Norton went public in 1994 and was traded on the Nasdaq under the symbol NRTY. In January 1994 the company broadened its Modiano product to a full line of related separates targeted to national and regional retail chains. The Modiano line had silhouettes similar to those of the Norton McNaughton line but sold at slightly lower prices in retail chains, such as Sears, Roebuck, and Co. The company also established its own retail outlets, called Norty’s, in which it sold end-of-stock, out-of-season, and other miscellaneous merchandise. Norton used these retail outlets to minimize sales to off-price retailers and as a means of liquidating excess inventory. Norton’s design philosophy was to reproduce popular designer fashions at moderate prices. The company’s design team was responsible for the creation, development, and coordination of product lines that interpreted and mirrored existing fashion trends in women’s better apparel. The team also sought to enhance consumer appeal by combining functional fabrics in creative looks and color schemes to encourage the coordination of outfits—and the purchase of more than one garment.
