04 Jan Marc Fisher Footwear Snaps Up the Easy Spirit Brand
Marc Fisher Footwear Co. is toasting the new year with some high-powered deal-making.
The New York-based footwear firm — which already lists Guess, Tommy Hilfiger, Kendall + Kylie and Ivanka Trump among the brands in its portfolio — told FN today it has purchased women’s comfort brand Easy Spirit from Nine West Holdings.
The addition of the 35-year-old brand is a homecoming of sorts for company founder and 30-plus-year shoe industry veteran Marc Fisher, who worked with the Easy Spirit during his time at Nine West, the company co-founded by his father, Jerome Fisher.
