Here's the latest news about the King of Prussia Mall: Steve Madden is upping its size by 400 square feet and moving next to H&M; Eddie Bauer is relocating to The Plaza; and Diesel is opening this spring near C. Wonder, in The Plaza.

We're somewhat surprised to see Diesel making a return to KOP (if you can recall, the "luxury" denim label was formerly located on the upper level of The Plaza, near Nordstrom). Our question is this: With retailers like H&M and Forever21 on every corner, and high-low collabs making even the most coveted designer names accessible and affordable, are shoppers still willing to splurge on a name like Diesel? Is designer denim a movement best left in the aughts? Sound off in the comments, and cast your vote in the poll.
