Some 6,700 miles from Trump Tower, in Tokyo, another exclusive gathering was already underway: a two-day private viewing of Ivanka Trump products, teeming with Trump-branded treasures like a sample of the pale pink dress Ms. Trump wore to introduce her father at the Republican National Convention.
Ms.
Trump is nearing a licensing deal with the Japanese apparel giant Sanei
International, both parties told The New York Times. The largest
shareholder of Sanei’s parent company is the Development Bank of Japan,
which is wholly owned by the Japanese government.
Discussions
for the deal have been active for about two years, Ms. Trump’s company
said. In that time, she has become something of a local fascination. “At
the moment,” said Sayumi Gunji, a lifestyle-magazine editor who
attended the viewing, “Ivanka is even more popular here than Mr. Trump.”
