The fashion scene is getting crushed left right and center. Bad enough Phi is kicking the bucket. But it seems as though the recession, poor management (all across the board), and the lack of enthused shoppers really have a hand in making the retail scene what it is at the current moment. Chickdowntown.com is currently going through some hard financial times. According to Pittsburgh Live the high-end fashion retailer has defaulted on a $973,000 loan issued by Enterprise Bank. Other clothing suppliers and companies are filing suit against the Pennsylvania –based retailer. Chickdowntown.com has kicked open the doors when they first open up shop in 2007, running a series of campaigns via Vogue, Bazaar, & Perez Hilton (just to name a few) . Finally creating a name for itself in the game of high-end womenswear retail, but somewhere down the line customers have been complaining about the service via Chickdowntown. Amy Reed founder of Chickdowntown, has already started a new blog named fashionandotherstuff.com detailing her daily accounts on various trends, personal style, and other informative aspects of her life readers may find interesting. Reed goes on to telling readers that Chickdowntown’s days “may be numbered”. Reports claim that all sales from merchandise (found via CDT) will go toward paying off the credit line owed to creditors. Merchandise was to be sold at rock bottom prices….however Chickdowntowns site is offline and redirects to Reed’s new blog. Could this be the end of CDT? If so…what will happen to the orders made by waiting holiday shoppers?


Note: After days of being offline, Chickdowntown.com has resurfaced on Friday! Just in time for the post-Christmas shopping blitz.
