Broad array of Thalía Sodi apparel and accessories will be designed for the style, fit and color preferences of Hispanic women
Macy’s, Inc. announced it has signed a multi-year agreement for an exclusive new women’s fashion brand inspired by Thalía, an internationally recognized actor, recording artist, music producer, author and philanthropist.
The new brand – called Thalía Sodi – is expected to launch exclusively in 300 Macy’s stores nationwide and on macys.com in spring 2015 with dresses, tops, pants, shoes and jewelry. Additional categories are expected in future years. Those looking to buy something from this brand at one of the stores or online should definitely see if they can find a Macy’s promo code so that they can bag themselves a great bargain on these fashion items.
Thalía Sodi products will be designed and produced by Macy’s highly regarded Private Brands organization based on Thalía’s viewpoint and lifestyle. She will provide robust marketing support, including serving as the brand’s model, spokeswoman and advocate.
“I am very excited and honored to partner with Macy’s, an iconic American brand that believes in our community, to launch a collection that will be fabulous, fun and flirty – truly representative of who I am as a Latina. This new fashion venture of apparel and accessories has been a longtime passion of mine and I can’t wait for my fans and women from all over the world to wear my collection,” said Thalía.
“Thalía is one of the biggest stars on a global stage – a favorite artist and personality not only in the Latino community, but among fans everywhere who love her music, her style, her passion and her charisma,” said Terry J. Lundgren, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Macy’s, Inc. “When it comes to fashion, Thalía is a trendsetter for Latinas who love to step out and stand out in a way that is flirty, fun, vivacious and put together. Hispanic women are one of the fastest-growing consumer segments in America and already important customers for Macy’s in major markets across the country. With this new Thalía Sodi brand, sold only at Macy’s, we will have an even stronger fashion offering that directly addresses the style, fit, and color preferences of this customer.”
Born and raised in Mexico City and now a U.S. citizen, Thalía began performing at age 9 and first gained attention with the group Timbiriche. She launched her career as a solo artist in 1990. Since that time, she has sold over 40 million records worldwide, and collaborated with musicians from Tony Bennett and Michael Bublé to Emilio Estefan and Julio Iglesias. Thalía also has starred in a series of telenovelas broadcast in 180 countries, with a viewership of more than 2 billion people, earning her the nickname of “the queen of soap operas.” She has hosted a network radio show in the United States and authored four books, including her recent children’s book entitled, “Chupie: The Binky that Returned Home.” Among her philanthropic ventures, Thalía has been a strong voice for the March of Dimes, an organization that Macy’s supports nationwide through cause marketing. In fall 2013, Thalía was featured in Macy’s Hispanic Heritage Month events across the country.
Thalía, who is a mother of two children and married to music mogul Tommy Mottola, is being honored on Dec. 5, 2013, with her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
“This is a remarkable time for both Macy’s and Thalía considering that America’s #1 department store is now entering the Latino market with an iconic brand like Thalía Sodi. We are confident that this alliance will be extremely sccessful and that it will resonate with the vast Latino customer base Macy’s already has,” Mottola said.
