“Sam and Libby have an incredible understanding of the women that wear their shoes,” said Diane Sullivan, president and CEO oF Brown Shoe Company. “They not only know what is relevant to her, but they also know how she thinks and feels about fashion, and this is how they always manage to capture her imagination. Sam & Libby for Target will be no different.”
