NEWEST FRANKY & MINX® LICENSEES:
AQUARIUS LTD. AND FREEZE/CENTRAL MILLS
NEW YORK, April 28, 2006 -- CopCorp Licensing President Carole Postal
today announced agreements adding Aquarius Ltd. and Freeze/Central Mills to
its fast-growing roster of Franky & Minx® licensees.
Aquarius Ltd. (St. Louis, Mo.) has signed on to make and market Franky &
Minx® Belts and Belt Buckles. Aquarius Ltd. is one of the country's leading
designers, manufacturers, merchandisers and marketers of accessories for Men,
Women and Children.
Freeze (New York), a division of Central Mills, has secured the rights to manufacture and market Franky & Minx® Juniors Tops and Juniors Sportswear.
"Finding the right licensees - companies that not only make excellent
products but truly respect the lifestyle that the Franky & Minx brand
represents -- is very important to Franky & Minx founder Heidi Minx,"
says Postal. "With Aquarius and Freeze, we feel fortunate to have signed
two more partners that'll fit right in to the great roster we're assembling."
Franky & Minx is a New York-based lifestyle brand, built around the alternative
rock and roll lifestyles of Heidi Minx and her tattoo artist partners. Founded
by Minx 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 Aquarius and Freeze, other Franky & Minx
licensees include Concept One (Bags, Cold Weather, Hats and Small Leather
Goods), Logotel (Men's tees), MJC (Men's and Women's Loungewear), 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). In April, Minx was recognized by
BrandWeek Magazine as one of the top ten 'Next Generation Marketers' for her
work in establishing her company. Learn more at www.frankyandminx.com.
