PHELPS PLUGS CHICO’S: Apparently, Michael Phelps’ Midas touch extends to his mother Debbie. Once Chico’s caught word she had stocked up on some of its clothes before jetting off to Beijing to watch the Olympic swimmer work his magic in the Water Cube, the retailer spread the word via e-mail. Chico’s Web site even showcases “The Debbie Phelps Collection,” an assortment of her travel pieces, including the ensemble she wore for a Johnson & Johnson commercial that debuted Sunday night during the closing ceremonies. Curiously, Chico’s does not have a formal agreement with her, but talks are under way with her management team about potential collaborations, a Chico’s spokeswoman said.
