Liz Claiborne Inc. announced that John Bartlett will be designing the Claiborne men's sportswear line.
The revamped product, which will be called "Claiborne by John Bartlett," will be in stores by Spring 2009.
Dave McTague, Executive Vice President, Partnered Brands for Liz Claiborne said: "What the everyday man needs right now is a collection that can dress him from work to weekend with an updated yet classic look - but what's out in the market right now doesn't fit his lifestyle.
John is known throughout the industry as a talented, cutting edge menswear designer and we feel that he is the perfect partner to help Claiborne give this customer exactly what he needs."
Mr. Bartlett, a Cincinnati native, is a two-time C.F.D.A. and Perry Ellis Menswear award winner and began his signature collection in his West Village walk-up in 1992.
His collections have embraced such diverse inspirations as Charlie Brown and Forrest Gump to Ernest Hemingway and Paul Bunyan.
In September of 2007, Mr. Bartlett opened his first retail environment in Manhattan's West Village, a space that houses his signature John Bartlett collection of sportswear, tailored clothing and furnishings, accessories and collectibles.

While shoes serve a practical function by protecting our soles from the elements and hazards underfoot, they have also become highly ornamented objects of obsession.
Whatever the materials or the cost, however, shoes always reflect the time and place in which they were made and worn and the culture that produced them.
"Walk This Way," unlike any footwear exhibition in the past, places shoes-from ancient Egyptian and Nubian sandals to new acquisitions representing the best in contemporary design-throughout the MFA's galleries to illustrate their relationship to other works of art.
These provocative juxtapositions provide insights into the history, ornamentation, and cultural importance of footwear.
In this treasure hunt of an exhibition, visitors might find a pair of Venetian chopines next to a painting of the city by Canaletto, a woman's shoe from the late 1790s embroidered with neoclassical scrolling grape vines exhibited with an ancient statue of the Greek god Dionysus, or a pair of contemporary wedges with rococo carved heels from MIU MIU's most recent collection alongside eighteenth century carved and gilt furniture.
