This year, we have so many exciting programs in play. We're launching a fashion initiative of rotating designer collections -- limited-time collections from guest designers. We're combining technology and fashion to reach new and existing customers in a more engaging way. And we're aggressively experimenting in the social and mobile space. It's a very transforming time to be in both fashion and marketing"
