Guess Jeans is proud to present you a fashion voyage through time and space. Inspired by cult films and themes from the 60’s, the 40’s and the 20’s, the GUESS girl embarks on a motion picture journey….. Quiet, please. The movie is about to begin.

“Valley of the Dolls” opens this festival of the cinema with a strong 60’s vibe reflecting the youth and culture of the era. Neat “ladylike” coats and jackets with wide billowy sleeves, and novelty plaids are a new addition to her wardrobe. A multitude of mini and maxi-length flirty and flounced dresses add a touch of femininity, while ¾ sleeve jackets developed in a variety of fabrics to create a colourful bazaar of new volumes are teamed with skinny jeans to highlight their perfect cuts and new shapes. “Bigger is better” for prints and details. Drop shoulders, kimono sleeves and raglan details are mixed with oversized shapes. The colour palette opens with an array of pastel tones in fun 60’s attitude, or opulent hues of red, pink and mulberry working back to a selection of greys - the new black for the season. Rich shades of cocoa brown and hazelnut play into to hues of green with moody accents of gold. A touch of glamour is given with hot magenta and metal tones. The re-styling of vintage looks on new age fabrics such as chiffon, jersey or soft fluid tencel, combined with traditional plaid and pinstripe patterns or fine virgin wools brings this youthful and captivating time back to life through the creation of perfectly feminine silhouettes.

Inspired by the 40’s and by the enigmatic and beautiful Marlene Dietrich and her most famous film “Blonde Venus”, Guess embraces the passion and glamour that has always been the essence of the brand in a game of feminine and masculine contrasts. A combination of linear and military styles, such as sexy 40’s fit wool army jackets and new military pants, with extremely feminine tops and shirts in silk fabric highlight our GUESS girl’s curves. A melange of power and femininity embodied by high waist skirts and slim fit jackets. Open-worked, fine, wool sweaters adorned with stones and pearl applications are warm and soft, in a variety of yarn weights keeping her cosy in the winter chill while remaining super- fitted and feminine for second-skin comfort. Buttons in wax seal shapes, suspenders and heraldic embroidery emphasise the military and tailored appearance. Deep berry reds are combined with military greens and greys, as well as shades of brown and sandy colours, with touches of 40’s glamour in accents of teal, hot magenta and mustard. Fine virgin wools, heavy for jackets and coats become warm and light in jersey tops and dresses. Stretch cavalry tailored pieces and chic sateen and jacquard fabrics that ooze seduction are set against flowing silks to create a law of contrasts and ambiguous charm for our GUESS “Diva”

Denim for Fall 2008 returns to the essential for a clean look in the fine quality that characterises GUESS Jeans. Raw and vintage washes are re-visited with softer effects and detailed in super-sophisticated trims. Chic basics are also updated with special attention to fits that will satisfy all tastes.

My Vintage Baby, Inc. (Pink Sheets:MVBY), a public children's apparel company, announced that, for the Spring of 2009, it will offer a new line of maternity tops that will complement My Vintage Baby’s children’s collection. This will be the Company’s first venture beyond the unique and nostalgic children’s apparel and accessories it is known for.

“Our vision is to encourage brand loyalty by introducing expectant mothers to our chic My Vintage Baby designs. The intent is to create even greater enthusiasm for our children’s apparel by appealing to new mothers,” stated Jessica Wiswall, the CEO of My Vintage Baby. “We are planning both short and long sleeve designs. This should generate year round demand, departing from the apparel industry’s typically seasonal approach,” she added.

The market launch will begin in August 2008 at various apparel shows throughout the U.S. Initially there will be three new designs available for mothers-to-be. It is anticipated that the new tops will be sold in the same boutiques as My Vintage Baby’s children’s wear, as well as in maternity wear departments and shops.

ABOUT MY VINTAGE BABY:

It started out one sunny morning in Melbourne, Australia at my parent’s house when I had become utterly bored with everything I had to wear. I had a fancy brunch to attend on the weekend, and after much deliberation and net shopping I came to realize that I just didn’t feel like I could find something that fit my fashion mood. I was becoming disinterested in fashion and it scared me all the way down to my Chanel Le Vernis Nail Color #461 Blue Satin painted toes. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with an overabundance of Marc Jacobs dresses and Antik Batik accessories, but I needed something one of a kind, something fresh, and something no one else had. I decided to make myself a soy latte and ponder this fact while reading my Marie Claire. After some time passed, I noticed that our family photo album was sitting on the coffee table. I decided out of sincere boredom to browse the past. The first few pictures were absolutely horrible: there was me in a bright blue sweater dress and matching high tops, with a pony tail that would make a steroid induced show horse cringe. Then, as if by miraculous divine intervention, it stood before me, my mother’s photo from the 70’s. She was very beautiful, but what caught my eye was her leather button down dress. It was so Zeppelin meets Joplin. I had to have it, or something like it. I ran to the kitchen, put down my now cold latte and picked up the phone. I know I wasn’t supposed to call my mother on her cell while she was at work unless it was an emergency, but damn this constituted one. I dialed her number and began to tell her the absolute importance of finding that dress. She found it hysterical. “That old thing? It is either in my closet or in the boxes in the garage”. “Right, must get to it” and I hung up to her mumbling “Girls these days”. First things first I must remain calm; there was a huge sea of clothing in her closet which would be like a workout with Gunner Peterson if I wasn’t careful. I decided to pace myself and divide her closet into sections. After what seemed like an hour, I found it. The excitement was obvious as I let out a huge “Yay,” feeling momentarily ridiculous - but I shrugged it off. Victory was mine. I had found the dress and nothing could be more perfect than a one of a kind leather button down dress a la mom. I hurriedly tried it on and ran to the full length mirror. I turned around and admired my reflection. I was ready and armed for the party. Call me Carrie Bradshaw because I was going to mix this baby up. The latest trend is tribal and hippie. I decided to match the button down dress with a floral tunic underneath and a pair of my favorite Antik Batik Fringe Flats. Something was missing, so I decided to add the latest purchase of mine a Lucky Brand Jeans Patchwork Across-Body Bag. On my way out the door, I realized that I had just learnt a very valuable lesson. Sometimes it isn’t about following someone else’s own sense of style if it doesn’t suit or serve you. Sometimes you need to take what works and add your own items to bring about a completely fresh look. Raid mommy’s closet and feel very Harrison Ford about it. It isn’t everyday a girl gets to find a much valued piece of treasure, and I definitely had found one of my top items for 2008. My girlfriends were super jealous and I got the satisfaction that it didn’t cost me anything except time, a strong sense of will and a chipped nail.

Results for the Three Months Ended March 29, 2008

As disclosed in previous filings, Hampshire Group sold certain assets of its Shane Hunter subsidiary on April 15, 2008. For the periods discussed herein, Shane Hunter’s results of operations were reflected in discontinued operations and excluded from continuing operations.

Net sales from continuing operations for the three months ended March 29, 2008 decreased 2.0% to $39.8 million from $40.6 million for the same period last year. The decline was the result of a decrease in volume due mainly to weak retail conditions and partially offset by higher average unit selling prices. If these retail conditions persist, which the Company believes appears likely for the balance of the year, net sales will be adversely affected in 2008.

(NYSE: TLB) announced that it will host a conference call today to further review the Company’s financing arrangements discussed in its April 15, 2008 Form 8-K and related press release issued April 16, 2008. In addition, the Company reconfirmed its previously announced outlook for fiscal 2008 as follows:

Reconfirms Fiscal 2008 Outlook

The Talbots, Inc. is planning for top-line growth of approximately 3%. This plan is based on slightly negative total Company comparable store sales.

Fiscal 2008 earnings from continuing operations are expected to be in the range of $0.47 to $0.52 per diluted share. The Company is planning for a loss from discontinued operations in the range of ($0.64) to ($0.59) per share, for a total loss per share in the range of ($0.17) to ($0.07), compared to the ($3.56) loss per share reported in fiscal 2007.
