LICENSED BY: COPCORP LICENSING
COPCORP LICENSING INKS DEAL
TO REPRESENT FRANKY & MINX®
Deals Announced with Logotel, MjC and Concept One
NEW YORK, March 21, 2006 -- CopCorp Licensing, a premiere licensing and
retail consulting agency founded by industry leader Carole Postal, today announced
it has reached an exclusive agreement to represent Franky and Minx Inc.'s
Franky & Minx® alt-culture lifestyle brand.
"As alternative cultures gain increased exposure and acceptance in fashion
and society at large, it's very important to me that it is brought to the
marketplace with respect and authenticity," says Franky & Minx founder
and President, Heidi Minx. "I trust CopCorp to help Franky & Minx
grow our brand the right way and with the right licensing partners."
In announcing CopCorp Licensing's representation the Franky & Minx brand,
Postal was pleased to reveal that deals have already been signed with Logotel,
MjC, and Concept One.
-- Logotel (Marriotsville, Md.) has landed the license to manufacture Franky
& Minx brand Young Men's T-shirts.
-- MjC (San Francisco) has secured the license to bring Franky & Minx
brand Men's Boxers and Loungewear, as well as Women's Loungewear to market.
-- Concept One Accessories (New York) has bagged the license to produce Franky
& Minx brand Bags, Small Leather Goods and Cold Weather Accessories
"Heidi Minx and the Franky & Minx brand are already well-known and
well-respected within the tattoo, alt-rock, lifestyle circles that give Franky
& Minx the crucial authenticity and credibility that will help attract
new enthusiasts and keep early fans as the brand expands into new and broader
markets," says Postal. "The key is that Franky & Minx is not
just about tattoo art, it's about a rock and roll lifestyle that recognizes
tattoo art as iconographic. The Franky & Minx lifestyle is incredibly
appealing to today's trend-forward young adults -- it is accessible, authentic,
and Minx works hard to share her lifestyle with her customers; -- the line
will fit in perfectly at specialty and mid-tier retailers across a broad range
of products including not only apparel and accessories but also room décor,
stationery and other lifestyle-related categories."
Franky & Minx is a New York-based lifestyle brand, built around the tattoo
designs of Elvis and Franky; both internationally recognized tattoo artists,
and their alternative punk rock lifestyles. Founded by heidiminx in response
to the lack of authentic alternative brands on the market today, Franky &
Minx does not fall into the confines of a limited niche market; it touches
a wide audience that relates to the art, designs and personalities behind
the brand. In addition to Concept One, Logotel and MjC, other Franky &
Minx licensees include AGInteractive (Cell Phone Wallpaper, Microsoft Instant
Messenger) and Mascorro (leather accessories). In addition, Franky & Minx
co-branding agreements have been made with Vision Street Wear® (shoes),
Lamar (snowboards), Malaguti (motor scooters) and Jones Soda (premium soda).
