Radar reports that gimmicky clothing line Heatherette, may or may not have gone out of business.

“The demise of Heatherette has been months in the making.

Above we have Melania Trump and son Baron. I’m digging Melania’s Eva Gabor “darling I love you but give me Park Avenue” ensemble. Women in the U.S. need to dress up like they’re having breakfast at Tiffany’s more often and do away with the ever prevalent Rosanne casual look. There’s just no excuse ladies, comfort is ugly. Life should always be one continuous, well styled 60’s sit-com.

The iconic black Givenchy gown worn by Audrey Hepburn in the opening sequence of “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” was sold at auction for $807,000, 7 times more than the $138,000 estimated. Proceeds from the sale will go to City of Joy Aid, a charity which helps India’s poor.
