Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]	1. Nature of Operations, Background and Basis of Presentation
	Xcel Brands, Inc. (“Xcel” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) was incorporated on August 31, 1989 in the State of Delaware under the name Houston Operating Company. On April 19, 2005, the Company changed its name to NetFabric Holdings, Inc., and on September 29, 2011, the Company changed its name to Xcel Brands, Inc. The Company is a brand management and development company engaged in the design, licensing, marketing and retail sales of branded apparel, footwear, accessories and home goods, and the acquisition of additional high profile consumer lifestyle brands, including the Isaac Mizrahi brand (the "Isaac Mizrahi Brand"), the Judith Ripka brand (the “Ripka Brand”), certain rights of the Liz Claiborne New York brand (“LCNY Brand”), as well as two recently acquired brands, H by Halston and H Halston.
	The Company operates in a “working capital light” business model, wherein the Company licenses its brands to third parties, provides certain design services, and generates royalty and design and service fee revenues through licensing and other agreements with wholesale manufacturers, sourcing and design companies and retailers. This includes licensing its own brands for promotion and distribution through an omni-channel retail sales strategy, including distribution through direct-response television (i.e., QVC, Inc. (“QVC”) and The Shopping Channel), the internet and traditional brick-and-mortar retail channels. The Isaac Mizrahi Brand and LCNY Brand are licensed through the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, IM Brands, LLC (“IM Brands”) (the “Isaac Mizrahi Business”) and the Ripka Brand is licensed through the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, JR Licensing, LLC (“JR Licensing”).
	From June 2013 through December 2014, the Company operated its retail business through its wholly-owned subsidiary, IMNY Retail Management, LLC (“Retail Management”). Retail Management launched an e-commerce platform under the Company’s Isaac Mizrahi Brand in May 2014. With the Ripka Brand acquisition, the Company also acquired the rights to the Ripka e-commerce site. The Company opened its first retail store in June 2013 in Southampton, New York (the “Southampton Store”) and opened its second retail store in Atlanta, GA (the “Georgia Store”) in March 2014. In December 2014, the Company decided to discontinue its retail stores. The Company will continue to operate e-commerce as a component of the Company’s licensing business. As of December 31, 2014, the Company’s retail operations will be treated as discontinued operations and prior periods presented have been reclassified to give effect to this change (see Note 12).
	As a result of the Company's discontinued operations, certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Principles of Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Xcel and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as of and for the years ended December 31, 2014 (the “Current Year”) and December 31, 2013 (the “Prior Year”). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and in accordance with the accounting rules under Regulation S-X, as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
	Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from estimates.
	Discontinued Operations
	The Company accounted for its decision to close down its retail operations as discontinued operations in accordance with the guidance provided in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” and Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2014-08, “Reporting of Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity,” which requires that only a disposal of a component of an entity, or a group of components of an entity, that represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on the reporting entity’s operations and financial results should be reported in the financial statements as discontinued operations. In the period a discontinued operation is classified as held for sale, the results of operations for the periods presented are reclassified into separate line items in the statements of operations. Assets and liabilities are also reclassified into separate line items on the related balance sheets for the periods presented. The statements of cash flows for the periods presented are also reclassified to reflect the results of discontinued operations as separate line items.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
	Accounts Receivable
	Accounts receivable are reported net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s ongoing discussions with its licensees and its evaluation of each licensee’s payment history and account aging. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had $3,641,000 and $3,541,000 of accounts receivable, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts of $41,000 and $39,000, respectively. The accounts receivable balance includes $110,000 and $174,000 of earned revenue that has been accrued but not billed as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	Property and Equipment
	Furniture, equipment and software are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization, and are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, generally three (3) to seven (7) years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the terms of the leases. Betterments and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
	Trademarks, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
	The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other.” Under this standard, goodwill and indefinite lived assets are not amortized. The Company’s definite lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives of four (4) to ten (10) years.
	The Company will first perform a qualitative impairment analysis. Should the results of this assessment result in either an ambiguous or unfavorable conclusion the Company will perform additional quantitative testing consistent with the fair value approach mentioned above. On an annual basis and as needed, the Company tests goodwill and indefinite life trademarks for impairment through the use of discounted cash flow models. This requires the Company’s management to make certain assumptions and estimates regarding certain industry trends and future revenues of the Company. The Company completed its annual quantitative assessment analysis of its indefinite-lived trademarks and other intangibles and goodwill at December 31, 2014 and determined that no further analysis or impairment charges were required.
	Deferred Finance Costs
	The Company incurred costs (primarily professional fees lender underwriting fees) in connection with borrowings under the senior secured term loans. These costs have been deferred and are amortized as interest expense using the straight-line method over the term of the related debt, which does not differ materially from the effective interest method.
	Contingent Obligations
	Management analyzes and quantifies the expected contingent obligations (expected earn-out payments) over the applicable pay-out period. Management assesses no less frequently than each reporting period the status of contingent obligations and any expected changes in the fair market value of such contingent obligations. Any change in the expected obligation will result in expense or income recognized in the period in which it is determined that the fair value has changed. Contingent obligations have been reduced by $0.6 million and $5.1 million during the Current Year and Prior Year, respectively, and have been recorded as gains on the reduction of contingent obligations and included in operating income in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations (see Note 7).
	In accordance with ASC Subtopic 805-50-30, “Business Combinations,” the Company is required to recognize the contingent obligation incurred in connection with the acquisition of the Ripka Brand asset purchase, equal to the positive difference between the fair value of the assets acquired and the consideration paid for the acquired assets.
	Revenue Recognition
	Licensing revenue is generated from licenses and is based on reported sales of licensed products bearing the Company’s trademarks, at royalty rates specified in the license agreements. These agreements are also subject to contractual minimum levels.
	Design and service fees are recorded and recognized in accordance with the terms and conditions of each service contract, which require the Company to meet its obligations and provide the relevant services under each contract. Guaranteed minimum royalty payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of each contract year as defined in each license agreement. Royalties exceeding the guaranteed minimum royalty payments are recognized as income during the period corresponding with the licensee’s sales. Advanced royalty payments are recorded as deferred revenue at the time payment is received and recognized as revenue as earned. Revenue is not recognized unless collectability is reasonably assured.
	Advertising Costs
	All costs associated with production for the Company’s advertising campaigns are expensed during the periods when the activities take place. All other advertising costs, such as print and online media, are expensed when the advertisement occurs. The Company incurred no advertising costs for the Current Year and Prior Year.
	Operating Leases
	Total rental payments under operating leases that include scheduled payment increases and rent holidays are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.  Landlord allowances are amortized by the straight-line method over the term of the lease as a reduction of rent expense.
	Stock-Based Compensation
	The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” by recognizing the fair value of stock-based compensation as an operating expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of stock option awards are estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for option valuation and restricted stock awards are valued at the fair value of the Common Stock at the time of grant. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions and elections including expected stock price volatility and the estimated life of each award. Compensation cost for restricted stock is measured using the fair value of the Company’s Common Stock at the date the Common Stock is granted. The fair value of stock-based awards is amortized over the service period of the awards. Stock-based compensation that relates to contract performance is amortized over the term of the corresponding contract. For stock-based awards that vest based on performance conditions (e.g., achievement of certain milestones), expense is recognized when it is probable that the condition will be met. In addition, the calculation of compensation costs requires that the Company estimate the number of awards that will be forfeited during the vesting period.
	Income Taxes
	Current income taxes are based on the respective period’s taxable income for federal and state income tax reporting purposes. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is required if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
	The Company applies the FASB guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The guidance clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with other authoritative U.S. GAAP and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The guidance also addresses derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company has no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, are recorded in income tax expense. Tax years that remain open for assessment for federal and state tax purposes include the years ended December 31, 2011 through 2014.
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.  The carrying value of the Company’s IM Term Loan (as defined in Note 7) approximates fair value because the fixed interest rate approximates current market rate and in the instances it does not, the impact on the time value is not material. When debt interest rates are below market rates, the Company considers the discounted value of the difference of actual interest rates and its internal borrowing against the scheduled debt payments. The carrying value of the Company’s JR Term Loan and H Term Loan (as defined in Note 7) approximates fair value because the variable interest rates approximate current market rates.
	Fair Value
	ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP and provides for expanded disclosure about fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The Company has contingent obligations that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company’s contingent obligations were measured using inputs from Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, which states:
	Level 3 - unobservable inputs that reflect management’s assumptions that market participants would use in pricing assets or liabilities based on the best information available. The Company’s earn-out obligation (see Note 7) is based upon certain projected net royalty revenues as defined in the terms and conditions of the acquisition of the Isaac Mizrahi Brand.
	The following table reflects the change in fair value of the Company’s earn-out obligation for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:
		December 31,
		2014		2013
	Balance at beginning of year	$	6,366,000	$	11,466,000
	Gain on reduction of contingent obligation		-600,000		-5,100,000
	Balance at end of year	$	5,766,000	$	6,366,000
	The Company has determined the estimated fair value amounts using available market information and appropriate methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. The estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The Company has based these fair value estimates on pertinent information available as of the respective balance sheet dates and has determined that, as of such dates, the carrying value of all financial instruments approximates fair value.
	In addition to the Company’s contingent obligations measured at fair value on a recurring basis under ASC 820-10, the Company also recognized a contingent obligation in connection with an asset purchase. ASC 805-50-30 requires when contingent obligations exist, recording a contingent obligation equal to the positive difference between the fair value of the assets acquired and the consideration paid for the acquired assets.
	Concentrations of Credit Risk
	Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company limits its credit risk with respect to cash by maintaining cash balances with high quality financial institutions. At times, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents may exceed federally insured limits. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are minimal due to the collection history and due to the nature of the Company’s royalty revenues. Generally, the Company does not require collateral or other security to support accounts receivables.
	Earnings Per Share
	Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income from continuing operations, loss on discontinued operations and net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the effect of common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method. The difference between basic and diluted weighted-average common shares results from the assumption that all dilutive stock options, warrants and restricted stock outstanding were exercised into Common Stock if the effect is not anti-dilutive.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 provides guidance for revenue recognition and affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is the recognition of revenue when a company transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under the current guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the method and impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
	In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period” (“ASU 2014-12”). ASU 2014-12 affects entities that grant their employees share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments in ASU 2014-12 require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. ASU 2014-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the method and impact the adoption of ASU 2014-12 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
	In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 provides guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. For each reporting period, management will be required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. The amendments in ASU 2014-15 are effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt the methodologies prescribed by ASU 2014-15 by the date required, and does not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2014-15 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Asset Acquisition [Text Block]	3. Acquisition of H Halston Trademarks
	On December 22, 2014, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, H Licensing, entered into an asset purchase agreement (the "H Asset Purchase Agreement") with The H Company IP, LLC (“HIP”), and its parent, House of Halston LLC (“HOH”), pursuant to which the Company acquired certain assets of HIP, including the “H by Halston” and “H Halston” trademarks (collectively, the “H Halston Brands”) and other intellectual property rights relating thereto. Benjamin Malka, a director of the Company, is a 24% equity holder of HOH, and Chief Executive Officer of HOH.
	Pursuant to the H Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company delivered (i) $18,023,090 in cash; (ii) 1,000,000 shares of its Common Stock to HIP and (iii) warrants to purchase up to 750,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to HIP’s designee. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years following the closing date at an exercise price of $12.00 per share (see Note 8).
	Pursuant to voting agreements entered into on December 22, 2014 (the “Voting Agreement”), each of HIP and HIP’s Designee appointed Robert W. D’Loren, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Board, as its irrevocable proxy and attorney-in-fact with respect to the shares of the Company’s Common Stock and warrants received by it in connection with the transaction, respectively. As proxy holder, Mr. D’Loren, is required to vote in favor of matters recommended or approved by the board of directors.
	Pursuant to a lock-up agreement entered into on December 22, 2014, HIP agreed that during the twelve (12) months from the closing date, in the case of HIP’s stock consideration, or during the twelve (12) months from the date any shares are issued to HIP pursuant to the Trademark License Agreement (defined below) (collectively, the “Lock-up Shares”), HIP may not, subject to certain exceptions, offer, sell, pledge, hypothecate, grant an option for sale or otherwise dispose of, or transfer or grant any rights with respect to, any of the Lock-Up Shares. HIP’s designee entered into a similar lock-up agreement with respect to the warrants. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement covering the Lock-Up Shares and the warrants and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective within sixty (60) days after the expiration of the initial twelve (12) month lock-up period and remain effective for specified time periods.
	Concurrent with the acquisition of the H Halston Brands, the Company entered into (i) a license agreement with QVC that provides for a royalty to be paid to the Company by QVC based on net sales of products under the H Halston Brands (the “QVC Halston Agreement”), and (ii) a license with HIP (the “Trademark License Agreement”) that will sub-license, manufacture, distribute, promote, advertise and sell products bearing the H Halston trademark and any related services thereto in all channels of distribution, excluding direct-response television and its related e-commerce and digital distribution, and excluding certain mass retailers. The license with HIP provides for minimum royalties payable to the Company. The initial term of the Trademark License Agreement expires on December 31, 2019, unless sooner terminated or renewed. After the initial term, HIP shall be entitled to renew the Trademark License Agreement on three occasions, each for five (5) year terms, as long as HIP is in compliance with all terms and conditions of the agreement. HIP may terminate the agreement prior to the expiration of the initial term without penalties, fees or payment of future royalties upon 90 day notice prior to the second anniversary of the closing. HIP shall pay royalties to H Licensing during the term, with a minimum guaranteed royalty of $600,000 per year during the initial term for 2016 through 2024 and $1,200,000 for any year thereafter. In the event HIP exercises the early termination right, H Licensing shall pay HIP a participation fee for each of the three following years in an amount not to exceed $4,000,000 ($5,000,000 if H Licensing distributes, or otherwise enters into any agreements for the distribution of, products being the H Halston trademark in China). The participation fee, if any, may be paid in cash or shares of our common stock based on the greater of $8.00 and the value weighted average price of the common stock for the five business days preceding payment.
	As more fully described in Note 7, concurrent with the acquisition of the H Halston Brands, H Licensing entered into a $10 million, five year term loan with the Company’s senior lender, Bank of Hapoalim (“BHI”), and amended the existing IM Term Loan (as defined in Note 7) and JR Term Loan (as defined in Note 7).
	The H Halston Brands acquisition was accounted for as an asset purchase. The aggregate purchase price has been allocated to the following assets based on the fair market value of the assets on the date of acquisition:
	Allocated to:
	Trademarks	$	27,562,000
	Non-compete agreement		562,000
	Total acquisition price	$	28,124,000
	Trademarks have been determined by management to have an indefinite useful life and accordingly, no amortization is recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The non-compete agreement is amortized on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life of seven years.
	The following represents the aggregate purchase price of $28.1 million, including legal and other fees of $0.49 million:
	Cash paid	$	18,023,000
	Fair value of Common Stock issued (1,000,000 shares)		9,000,000
	Fair value of warrants to purchase 750,000 shares of Common Stock (see Note 8)		611,000

Asset Acquisition [Text Block]	4. Acquisition of Judith Ripka Trademarks
	On April 3, 2014, JR Licensing entered into an asset purchase agreement dated April 1, 2014 (the “JR Purchase Agreement”) with Judith Ripka Berk (“Ms. Ripka”), an individual, and certain companies owned by Ms. Ripka including Judith Ripka Creations (collectively “Ripka”), pursuant to which JR Licensing purchased from Ripka, the Ripka Brand, including the Judith Ripka and Judith Ripka Sterling trademarks and other intellectual property rights. On April 3, 2014, the closing date of the acquisition, the Company paid Ripka $12.0 million in cash, issued promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $6.0 million (the “Ripka Seller Notes”) (see Note 7) and issued 571,429 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Company is also obligated to pay to Ripka $1.0 million (the “First Installment”) and $1.2 million (the “Second Installment”) in cash or shares of the Company’s Common Stock on October 1, 2014 and April 1, 2015, respectively, subject to approval by BHI. The First Installment payment was amended to $0.9 million and the date was extended to and paid on February 23, 2015. The extension did not result in any penalty or cost to the Company. The Second Installment was amended to $1.3 million. In addition, the Company agreed to pay Ripka additional contingent consideration of up to $5 million in the aggregate, payable in cash or shares of the Company’s Common Stock (see Note 7).
	Concurrent with the acquisition of the Ripka Brand, the Company entered into (i) a license agreement with QVC that provides for a royalty to be paid to the Company by QVC based on net sales of products under the Ripka Brand (the “QVC Ripka Agreement”), and (ii) a license with an affiliate of Ripka that will design, source, market, and promote products under the Ripka Brand to wholesale accounts through an e-commerce site, which the Company will operate, and through Ripka owned retail stores (the “Wholesale Business”). The license with the Ripka affiliate provides for a royalty payable to the Company based on its wholesale sale of products under the Ripka Brand. The Company issued to QVC a warrant (the “QVC Warrant”) to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to (i) 4.75% of the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date the QVC Warrant becomes exercisable less (ii) 571,429 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, combination, or stock dividend). The QVC Warrant is exercisable at a price of $.001 per share and becomes exercisable only upon Ms. Ripka becoming obligated to make a specified payment to QVC under the QVC Ripka Agreement and remains exercisable until such obligation is satisfied in full. Management has determined that the probability of the warrants becoming exercisable is highly unlikely and, therefore, no value was assigned to them as of December 31, 2014.
	Concurrent with the acquisition of the Ripka Brand, JR Licensing entered into a $9 million, five year term loan with BHI and amended the then existing IM Term Loan, as more fully described in Note 7.
	On April 1, 2014, the Company entered into a three-year employment agreement with Ms. Ripka pursuant to which she serves as the Chief Design Officer of the Ripka Brand and performs duties and obligations under agreements with the Company’s licensees or any other third party. Thereafter, the agreement will renew automatically for one-year periods, unless either party gives written notice of intent to terminate at least 30 days prior to such termination. Ms. Ripka’s base salary is $750,000 per annum and she is entitled to other benefits, including (a) non-accountable expenses of $114,000 per year, (b) $1,000 per month for rent for her Florida office, (c) the employment of a personal assistant, and (d) first class travel expenses.
	Ms. Ripka is also eligible to receive an annual cash bonus for each calendar year during the term of her employment (or any partial fiscal year during the term) equal to 10% of the direct-response television royalty income for the Ripka Brand products during such calendar year in excess of $6 million.
	The Ripka Brand acquisition was accounted for as an asset purchase. The aggregate purchase price was allocated to the following assets based on the fair market value of the assets on the date of acquisition:
	Allocated to:
	Trademarks	$	24,600,000
	Copyrights and other intellectual property		190,000
	Total acquisition price	$	24,790,000
	Trademarks have been determined by management to have an indefinite useful life and accordingly, no amortization is recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Copyrights and other intellectual property are amortized on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives of ten years.
	The following represents the aggregate purchase price of $24.8 million, including legal and other fees of $0.39 million:
	Cash paid	$	11,975,000
	Installment payment due February 23, 2015		1,000,000

·	H Licensing shall have license royalty income of at least $6,000,000 each fiscal year commending for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
As of December 31, 2014, the Company was in full compliance with all of the covenants under the H Term Loan.
For the Current Year, the Company incurred interest expense of $9,000.
IM Seller Note
On September 29, 2011, as part of the consideration for the purchase of the Isaac Mizrahi Business, the Company issued to IM Ready-Made, LLC (“IM Ready”) a promissory note (the “IM Seller Note”) in the principal amount of $7,377,000. The stated interest rate of the IM Seller Note is 0.25% per annum. Management determined that this rate was below the Company’s expected borrowing rate, which was then estimated at 9.25% per annum. Therefore, the Company discounted the IM Seller Note by $1,740,000 using a 9.0% imputed annual interest rate, resulting in an initial value of $5,637,000. In addition, on September 29, 2011, the Company prepaid $123,000 of interest on the IM Seller Note. The imputed interest amount is being amortized over the term of the IM Seller Note and recorded as other interest and finance expense on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
On December 24, 2013, the IM Seller Note was amended to (1) revise the maturity date to September 30, 2016 (“Amended Maturity Date”), (2) revise the date to which the maturity date may be extended to September 30, 2018, (3) provide the Company with a prepayment right with its Common Stock, subject to remitting in cash the required cash payments set forth below and a minimum Common Stock price of $4.50 per share, and (4) require interim scheduled payments. Scheduled principal payments (including amortization of imputed interest) are as follows:
Payment Date		Payment		Amounts		Amount		Amount
		Amount		Payable in		Payable in		Payable in
				Cash		Cash with		Stock (ii)
						Restrictions (i)
January 31, 2015 (iii)		$	750,000	$	750,000	$	-	$	-
31-Jan-16		$	750,000	$	-	$	750,000	$	-
30-Sep-16		$	4,377,432	$	-	$	-	$	4,377,432
	(i)	Amounts payable in cash with restrictions are subject to BHI approving the cash payment. If BHI does not approve the cash payment, the amount shall be payable in shares of Common Stock subject to the provisions described above.
	(ii)	This includes the last payment on the Amended Maturity Date and may include amounts payable in cash with restrictions whereby BHI provides approval and the amount would be paid with the Company’s Common Stock. Amounts payable with the Company’s Common Stock shall be subject to the provisions described above.
	(iii)	Paid prior to January 31, 2015.
The stated interest rate of the IM Seller Note remains at 0.25% per annum. Management determined that the Company’s expected borrowing rate as of the date of the amendment was 6.44% per annum. Based on the revised payment schedule and the change in the Company’s expected borrowing rate, the Company increased the IM Seller Note discount by $337,000, and accordingly reduced the carrying value of the IM Seller Note. Management determined that the amendment to the IM Seller Note was in conjunction with an amendment to the contingent obligation to IM Ready Earn-out Obligation (as defined below) and the reduction to the carrying value of the IM Seller Note was recorded as part of the gain on reduction of contingent obligations in the Company’s December 31, 2013 consolidated statement of operations.
For the Current Year and Prior Year, the Company incurred interest expense of $342,000 and $617,000, respectively, which includes amortization of the discount on the IM Seller Note of $321,000 and $576,000, respectively. The IM Seller Note balance, net of discount, at December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $5,366,000 and $5,045,000, respectively.
Ripka Seller Notes
On April 3, 2014, as part of the consideration for the purchase of the Ripka Brand, JR Licensing issued to Ripka the Ripka Seller Notes. The Ripka Seller Notes have a term of five years from the date of issuance, are payable in cash or shares of the Company’s Common Stock valued at the time of payment, at the Company’s option, and with a floor price of $7.00 per share if paid in stock, with Ripka having certain rights to extend the maturity of the Ripka Seller Notes in the event the Company’s stock is trading at a price of less than $7.00 per share. As further discussed in Note 14, on February 20, 2015, a portion of the Ripka Seller Notes were amended and satisfied.
Management determined that its expected borrowing rate is estimated to be 7.33% per annum and has, therefore, discounted the Ripka Seller Notes by $1,835,000 using a 7.33% imputed annual interest rate, resulting in an initial value of $4,165,000. The imputed interest amount is being amortized over the term of the Ripka Seller Notes and recorded as other interest and finance expense on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
For the Current Year, the Company incurred interest expense of $233,000, which consists solely of amortization of the discount on the Ripka Seller Notes. The Ripka Seller Notes balance, net of discount, at December 31, 2014 was $4,398,000.
Contingent Obligations
IM Earn-Out Obligation
IM Ready may earn additional shares of Common Stock with a value of up to $7.5 million (the “IM Earn-Out Value”) for the 12-month period ending September 30, 2015, with the number of shares to be issued based upon the greater of (i) $4.50 per share and (ii) the average stock price for the last twenty business days in such period, and with such earn-out payment contingent upon the Isaac Mizrahi Business achieving the net royalty income target set forth below (the “IM Earn-Out Obligation”). On December 24, 2013, the Company and IM Ready amended the terms of the IM Earn-Out Obligation and eliminated the additional consideration for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and the Company made a one-time cash payment of $315,000 to IM Ready in March 2014. The IM Earn-Out Obligation is recorded as $3.0 million and $3.6 million of long-term debt at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, with $3.0 million and $0.3 million as a current liability at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets. The IM Earn-Out Value is payable solely in stock.
The additional $0.6 million reduction was recorded as a gain on reduction of contingent obligations in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations in the Current Year. The reduction in the IM Earn-Out Obligation was based primarily on a revision of projected future net royalty income related to the Isaac Mizrahi Brand within the earn-out period. The recorded IM Earn-Out Obligation was reduced as a result of the timing of projected future net royalty income of the Isaac Mizrahi Business, which diminished the probability of achieving the remaining royalty target. This adjustment resulted from the Company having better visibility in its 2015 royalties given current Isaac Mizrahi Brand product sales information.
Any future change in the IM Earn-Out Obligation will result in an expense or income in the period in which it is determined the fair market value of the carrying value has changed. The royalty targets and percentage of the potential earn-out value are as follows:
Royalty Target Period		Royalty		Earn-Out
		Target		Value
Royalty Target Period (October 1, 2014 to September 30, 2015)		$	24,000,000	$	7,500,000
IM Ready will receive a percentage of the “IM Earn-Out Value based upon the percentage of the actual net royalty income of the Isaac Mizrahi Business to the royalty target as set forth below:
Applicable Percentage		% of
		Earn-Out
		Value
		Earned
Less than 76%		0	%
76% up to 80%		40	%
80% up to 90%		70	%
90% up to 95%		80	%
95% up to 100%		90	%
100% or greater		100	%
The IM Earn-Out Value is payable solely in stock. In accordance with ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC Topic 480”), the IM Earn-Out Obligation is treated as a liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets because of the variable number of shares payable under the agreement.
QVC Earn-Out
The Company is obligated to pay IM Ready $2.76 million, payable in cash or Common Stock, at the Company’s option, contingent upon IM Brands receiving aggregate net royalty income of at least $2.5 million from QVC in the twelve-month period ending September 30, 2015 with the number of shares of such stock based upon the greater of (x) $4.50 per share, and (y) the average stock price for the last twenty business days prior to the time of such issuance (the “QVC Earn-Out”). Management has determined that it is probable that the $2.5 million in net royalty income from QVC will be met. In accordance with ASC Topic 480, the QVC Earn-Out obligation is treated as a liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets because of the variable number of shares payable under the agreement. Management will assess no less frequently than each reporting period the status of this contingent obligation. Any change in the expected obligation will result in an expense or income in the period in which it is determined fair market value has changed. The QVC Earn-Out is recorded as a current liability at December 31, 2014 in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
Ripka Earn-Out
In connection with the purchase of the Ripka Brand, the Company agreed to pay Ripka additional consideration of up to $5 million in aggregate (the “Ripka Earn-Out”), payable in cash or shares of the Company’s Common Stock based on the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock at the time of payment, and with a floor of $7.00 per share, based on the Ripka Brand achieving in excess of $1 million of net royalty income during each of the 12-month periods ending on October 1, 2016, 2017 and 2018, less the sum of all earn-out payments for any prior earn-out period. Net royalty income shall not include any revenues generated by direct-response television sales or any revenue accelerated as a result of termination. The Ripka Earn-Out of $3.8 million is recorded as long-term debt at December 31, 2014 on the consolidated balance sheets based on the difference between the fair value of the assets of the Ripka Brand acquired and the total consideration paid. In accordance with ASC Topic 480, the Ripka Earn-Out obligation is treated as a liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet because of the variable number of shares payable under the agreement.
As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, total contingent obligations were $9.6 million and $6.7 million, respectively.

Stockholders' Equity	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2014
Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]
Stockholders' Equity Note Disclosure [Text Block]	8.  Stockholders’ Equity
	Effective November 6, 2014, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation to increase the total number of authorized shares of capital stock which the Company shall have authority to issue from 26,000,000 shares, consisting of 25,000,000 shares of common stock and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, to 36,000,000 shares, consisting of 35,000,000 shares of common stock and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock.
	2013 Private Offering of Equity Securities
	On June 5, 2013, in a private offering to accredited investors, who are affiliates of an existing shareholder and a director of the Company, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 1,428,573 shares of its Common Stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 312,500 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,000,000 (the “Offering”). The warrants are exercisable at a price of $5.00 per share, at any time on or prior to June 5, 2018.
	The Company concluded that there was a discounted component to the Offering, as compared to the then market value of its Common Stock, primarily due to the limited liquidity in the Company’s Common Stock. Based on the management’s analysis, the Company concluded that such discount was 10% and therefore grossed up the offering price based on the discount, resulting in a fair value of $3.86 per common share.
	The fair value for the warrants was estimated to be $.12 for each warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
	Expected Volatility		22.5	%
	Expected Dividend Yield		0	%
	Expected Life Term		2.5
	Risk-Free Interest Rate		0.39	%
	The proceeds of the Offering were accounted for as the par value of the Common Stock ($.001 per share) issued and the balance ($3.499 per share) as additional paid in-capital, inclusive of the value of the warrants.
	2014 Private Offering of Equity Securities
	On December 22, 2014, in a private offering to accredited investors, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 1,086,667 shares of its Common Stock at a purchase price of $9.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $9,780,000 (the “2014 Private Offering”). The Company paid Young America Capital LLC (“Young America”) a placement fee of $474,600 in connection with the 2014 Private Offering (see Note 13, Related Party Transactions). Net proceeds, after the payment of placement fees and legal and other expenses of $486,000, amounted to $9,294,000.
	2011 Equity Incentive Plan
	The Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “Plan”), is designed and utilized to enable the Company to provide its employees, officers, directors, consultants and others whose past, present and/or potential contributions to the Company have been, are or will be important to the success of the Company, an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company. A total of 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock are eligible for issuance under the Plan. The Plan provides for the grant of any or all of the following types of awards: stock options, restricted stock, deferred stock, stock appreciation rights and other stock-based awards. The Plan is administered by the Board, or, at the Board’s discretion, a committee of the Board.
	Effective November 6, 2014, the Plan was amended to (a) increase the number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available for distribution under the Plan from 5,000,000 to 8,000,000, (b) increase the maximum number of shares with respect to Incentive Stock Options (as defined in the Plan) which may be granted under the Plan from 2,000,000 to 5,000,000, (c) increase the maximum number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which options or restricted stock may be granted to any participant from 2,000,000 to 5,000,000 and (d) provide for the award of cash bonuses to participants.
	The fair value of options and warrants is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The valuation determined by the Black-Scholes option pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The risk free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rate for the expected life at the time of grant, volatility is based on the average long-term implied volatilities of peer companies, the expected life is based on the estimated average of the life of options and warrants using the simplified method, and forfeitures are estimated on the date of grant based on certain historical data. The Company utilizes the simplified method to determine the expected life of the options and warrants due to insufficient exercise activity during recent years as a basis from which to estimate future exercise patterns. The expected dividend assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts.
	Forfeitures are required to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
	On April 1, 2013, the Company issued to management 1,270,000 shares of restricted stock. The vesting date of 1,075,000 shares of restricted stock was September 20, 2014, provided, however, that each such grantee has the right to extend the vesting date by six-month increments in his sole discretion, prior to the date the restrictions would lapse.

Compensation expense related to warrant grants for the Current Year and Prior Year was $0 and $33,000, respectively. Compensation expense related to warrants in the Prior Year is reported as stock-based compensation under operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company values warrants issued to non-employees at the commitment date at the fair market value of the instruments issued, a measure which is more readily available than the fair market value of services rendered, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair market value of the instruments issued is expensed over the requisite service period.
Compensation expense related to warrants in connection with a licensing agreement is amortized over the five year initial term of the license agreement and is recorded as a discount to licensing revenues. The stock-based licensing revenue-discount for the Current Year and Prior Year was $13,000 and $5,000, respectively. The Company fully amortized the remaining value of warrants due to the termination of the related license agreement during the Current Year.
On June 5, 2013, in connection with the Offering, the Company issued warrants to purchase 312,500 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $5.00 per share and a term of 5-years. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants to be $38,000, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the warrant was estimated as of the date of grant using the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 22.2%, (2) risk-free interest rate of 0.39% and (3) expected life of 2.5 years. The Company accounted for the fair value of the warrants as a cost of the offering resulting in a charge directly to stockholders’ equity.
On October 4, 2013, the Company issued to Adam Dweck (“AD”), an Executive Vice President of Earthbound, LLC (“Earthbound”) and the son of Jack Dweck, who is a principal of Earthbound and was on the Company’s board of directors through June 26, 2014 (see Note 13, Related Party Transactions), warrants to purchase 25,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. The warrants were issued in connection with performance targets under a licensing agent agreement with AD and expire on August 2, 2016. On October 4, 2013, 12,500 warrants vested and, on October 4, 2014, the remaining 12,500 warrants vested upon achieving the second performance target. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants to be $2,500, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the warrant was estimated as of the date of grant using the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 22.2%, (2) risk-free interest rate of 0.39% and (3) expected life of 2.5 years. Compensation expense related to warrants in connection with the licensing agreement is amortized over the expected period in which the royalty targets will be met and is recorded as a royalty commission expense and netted with licensing revenues. The stock-based commission expense for the Current Year and Prior Year was $1,000 and $1,500, respectively.
On December 22, 2014, in connection with the acquisition of the H Halston Brands, the Company issued five year warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 750,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $12.00 per share.

	The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. In determining the need for a valuation allowance, management reviews both positive and negative evidence pursuant to the requirements of ASC Topic 740, including current and historical results of operations, future income projections and the overall prospects of the Company's business.
	The income tax provision (benefit) for Federal and state and local income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations consists of the following:

	As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, management does not believe the Company has any material uncertain tax positions that would require it to measure and reflect the potential lack of sustainability of a position on audit in its consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to evaluate its uncertain tax positions in future periods to determine if measurement and recognition in its consolidated financial statements is necessary. The Company does not believe there will be any material changes in its unrecognized tax positions over the next year.

	On September 29, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement, which was amended on October 4, 2011, with Todd Slater, who was appointed as a director of the Company commencing on October 17, 2011, for services related to the Company’s licensing strategy and introduction to potential licensees. During the term of the agreement or during the year following the expiration of the term of the agreement, if the Company enters into a license or distribution agreement with a licensee introduced by Mr. Slater, Mr. Slater was entitled to receive a commission equal to 15% of all net royalties received by the Company during the first term of such agreement, payable within thirty days of receipt of the net royalties.
	On July 10, 2012, the Company and Mr. Slater entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the agreement. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company paid to Mr. Slater $163,000 as payment in full for (i) the cancellation of all amounts which are or may otherwise become due or payable to Mr. Slater under the terms of the agreement for licensees already introduced to the Company by Mr. Slater and which Mr. Slater was entitled to 15% of the revenues from such licensees under the agreement, and (ii) the assignment to the Company of all such amounts payable directly to Mr. Slater pursuant to such license agreements. The Company has capitalized this payment and amortizes the expense in accordance with the revenue earned from the respective licensing agreements on which this payment was based.
	The Company incurred direct licensing costs with Mr. Slater from amortization of the one-time payment stated above and fees paid for the Current Year and the Prior Year of $85,000 and $46,000, respectively.
	On June 5, 2013, the Company paid Threadstone Advisors, LLC (“Threadstone”) a fee of $280,000 for the placement of $4,000,000 of proceeds from the Offering (see Note 8). This placement fee was recorded as a reduction in paid-in capital and reflected in the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheet. Mr. Slater is an officer and a 5% owner of Threadstone.
	On December 22, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with Young America, pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay Young America a cash payment of 7% of the gross proceeds from a private offering of the Company’s equity securities, except with respect to $3,000,000 of common stock sold in the 2014 Private Offering. The Company paid Young America a placement fee of $474,600 in connection with the 2014 Private Offering. Todd Slater is a director of the Company and a registered representative and independent contractor to Young America, and he received $439,005 of the consideration paid to Young America.

	On August 2, 2011, the Company entered into a licensing agent agreement with AD, pursuant to which he is entitled to a five percent commission on any royalties the Company receives under any new license agreements that he procures for the Company for the initial term of such license agreements. AD earned $25,000 and $13,000 in fees for the Current Year and Prior Year, respectively.
	The Company issued AD warrants to purchase 12,500 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share, subject to AD generating $0.5 million of accumulated royalties, and additional warrants to purchase 12,500 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share, subject to AD generating $1.0 million of accumulated royalties. Additionally, AD shall be entitled to receive warrants to purchase 25,000 shares of Common Stock priced at an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value at the time of issuance, subject to AD generating $2.0 million of accumulated royalties. These warrants all expire on August 2, 2016. AD reached the first milestone of $0.5 million sourced royalties, as well as the second milestone of $1.0 million of sourced royalties as of December 31, 2014. Accordingly, the Company issued warrants to AD to purchase 25,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 12,500 vested in 2013 and 12,500 vested in 2014. The fair value of these warrants was estimated at $2,500 on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, of which half has been recorded as a royalty commission expense in the Current Year and half has been recorded as a royalty commission expense in the Prior Year. The expense was recorded as a reduction of net licensing revenues in the consolidated statements of operations.

	Amendment of Ripka Seller Notes
	On February 20, 2015, the Company agreed to cancel Ripka Seller Notes in the principal amount of $3.0 million and execute in its place: (i) a $2.4 million principal amount promissory note issued in the name of Ms. Ripka (the “$2,400,000 Seller Note”) and (ii) a $600,000 principal amount promissory note issued in the name of Ms. Ripka (the “$600,000 Seller Note”), each pursuant to substantially the same terms as the Ripka Seller Notes; provided, however, that the Company and Ms. Ripka have agreed that, upon Ms. Ripka’s assignment of the $600,000 Seller Note to a permitted assignee, the principal payments under the $600,000 Seller Note shall accelerate to be payable in eight equal quarterly installments of $75,000 with the first payment due on March 31, 2015 and with the final principal payment payable on December 31, 2016. The $2,400,000 Seller Note was assigned by Ms. Ripka to Judith Ripka Creations, Inc. and then assigned by Judith Ripka Creations, Inc. to Thai Jewelry Manufacturer Co. LTD. (“Thai Jewelry”).

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2014
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Principles of Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Xcel and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as of and for the years ended December 31, 2014 (the “Current Year”) and December 31, 2013 (the “Prior Year”). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and in accordance with the accounting rules under Regulation S-X, as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
	Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from estimates.
Discontinued Operations, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Discontinued Operations
	The Company accounted for its decision to close down its retail operations as discontinued operations in accordance with the guidance provided in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” and Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2014-08, “Reporting of Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity,” which requires that only a disposal of a component of an entity, or a group of components of an entity, that represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on the reporting entity’s operations and financial results should be reported in the financial statements as discontinued operations. In the period a discontinued operation is classified as held for sale, the results of operations for the periods presented are reclassified into separate line items in the statements of operations. Assets and liabilities are also reclassified into separate line items on the related balance sheets for the periods presented. The statements of cash flows for the periods presented are also reclassified to reflect the results of discontinued operations as separate line items.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Receivables, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Accounts Receivable
	Accounts receivable are reported net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s ongoing discussions with its licensees and its evaluation of each licensee’s payment history and account aging. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had $3,641,000 and $3,541,000 of accounts receivable, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts of $41,000 and $39,000, respectively. The accounts receivable balance includes $110,000 and $174,000 of earned revenue that has been accrued but not billed as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Property and Equipment
	Furniture, equipment and software are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization, and are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, generally three (3) to seven (7) years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the terms of the leases. Betterments and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Trademarks, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
	The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other.” Under this standard, goodwill and indefinite lived assets are not amortized. The Company’s definite lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives of four (4) to ten (10) years.
	The Company will first perform a qualitative impairment analysis. Should the results of this assessment result in either an ambiguous or unfavorable conclusion the Company will perform additional quantitative testing consistent with the fair value approach mentioned above. On an annual basis and as needed, the Company tests goodwill and indefinite life trademarks for impairment through the use of discounted cash flow models. This requires the Company’s management to make certain assumptions and estimates regarding certain industry trends and future revenues of the Company. The Company completed its annual quantitative assessment analysis of its indefinite-lived trademarks and other intangibles and goodwill at December 31, 2014 and determined that no further analysis or impairment charges were required.
Deferred Finance Costs [Policy Text Block]	Deferred Finance Costs
	The Company incurred costs (primarily professional fees lender underwriting fees) in connection with borrowings under the senior secured term loans. These costs have been deferred and are amortized as interest expense using the straight-line method over the term of the related debt, which does not differ materially from the effective interest method.
Contingent Obligation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Contingent Obligations
	Management analyzes and quantifies the expected contingent obligations (expected earn-out payments) over the applicable pay-out period. Management assesses no less frequently than each reporting period the status of contingent obligations and any expected changes in the fair market value of such contingent obligations. Any change in the expected obligation will result in expense or income recognized in the period in which it is determined that the fair value has changed. Contingent obligations have been reduced by $0.6 million and $5.1 million during the Current Year and Prior Year, respectively, and have been recorded as gains on the reduction of contingent obligations and included in operating income in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations (see Note 7).
	In accordance with ASC Subtopic 805-50-30, “Business Combinations,” the Company is required to recognize the contingent obligation incurred in connection with the acquisition of the Ripka Brand asset purchase, equal to the positive difference between the fair value of the assets acquired and the consideration paid for the acquired assets.
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Revenue Recognition
	Licensing revenue is generated from licenses and is based on reported sales of licensed products bearing the Company’s trademarks, at royalty rates specified in the license agreements. These agreements are also subject to contractual minimum levels.
	Design and service fees are recorded and recognized in accordance with the terms and conditions of each service contract, which require the Company to meet its obligations and provide the relevant services under each contract. Guaranteed minimum royalty payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of each contract year as defined in each license agreement. Royalties exceeding the guaranteed minimum royalty payments are recognized as income during the period corresponding with the licensee’s sales. Advanced royalty payments are recorded as deferred revenue at the time payment is received and recognized as revenue as earned. Revenue is not recognized unless collectability is reasonably assured.
Advertising Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Advertising Costs
	All costs associated with production for the Company’s advertising campaigns are expensed during the periods when the activities take place. All other advertising costs, such as print and online media, are expensed when the advertisement occurs. The Company incurred no advertising costs for the Current Year and Prior Year.
Lease, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Operating Leases
	Total rental payments under operating leases that include scheduled payment increases and rent holidays are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.  Landlord allowances are amortized by the straight-line method over the term of the lease as a reduction of rent expense
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]	Stock-Based Compensation
	The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” by recognizing the fair value of stock-based compensation as an operating expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of stock option awards are estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for option valuation and restricted stock awards are valued at the fair value of the Common Stock at the time of grant. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions and elections including expected stock price volatility and the estimated life of each award. Compensation cost for restricted stock is measured using the fair value of the Company’s Common Stock at the date the Common Stock is granted. The fair value of stock-based awards is amortized over the service period of the awards. Stock-based compensation that relates to contract performance is amortized over the term of the corresponding contract. For stock-based awards that vest based on performance conditions (e.g., achievement of certain milestones), expense is recognized when it is probable that the condition will be met. In addition, the calculation of compensation costs requires that the Company estimate the number of awards that will be forfeited during the vesting period.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Income Taxes
	Current income taxes are based on the respective period’s taxable income for federal and state income tax reporting purposes. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is required if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
	The Company applies the FASB guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The guidance clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with other authoritative U.S. GAAP and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The guidance also addresses derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company has no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, are recorded in income tax expense. Tax years that remain open for assessment for federal and state tax purposes include the years ended December 31, 2011 through 2014.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.  The carrying value of the Company’s IM Term Loan (as defined in Note 7) approximates fair value because the fixed interest rate approximates current market rate and in the instances it does not, the impact on the time value is not material. When debt interest rates are below market rates, the Company considers the discounted value of the difference of actual interest rates and its internal borrowing against the scheduled debt payments. The carrying value of the Company’s JR Term Loan and H Term Loan (as defined in Note 7) approximates fair value because the variable interest rates approximate current market rates.
Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Fair Value
	ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP and provides for expanded disclosure about fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The Company has contingent obligations that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company’s contingent obligations were measured using inputs from Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, which states:
	Level 3 - unobservable inputs that reflect management’s assumptions that market participants would use in pricing assets or liabilities based on the best information available. The Company’s earn-out obligation (see Note 7) is based upon certain projected net royalty revenues as defined in the terms and conditions of the acquisition of the Isaac Mizrahi Brand.
	The following table reflects the change in fair value of the Company’s earn-out obligation for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:
		December 31,
		2014		2013
	Balance at beginning of year	$	6,366,000	$	11,466,000
	Gain on reduction of contingent obligation		-600,000		-5,100,000
	Balance at end of year	$	5,766,000	$	6,366,000
	The Company has determined the estimated fair value amounts using available market information and appropriate methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. The estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The Company has based these fair value estimates on pertinent information available as of the respective balance sheet dates and has determined that, as of such dates, the carrying value of all financial instruments approximates fair value.
	In addition to the Company’s contingent obligations measured at fair value on a recurring basis under ASC 820-10, the Company also recognized a contingent obligation in connection with an asset purchase. ASC 805-50-30 requires when contingent obligations exist, recording a contingent obligation equal to the positive difference between the fair value of the assets acquired and the consideration paid for the acquired assets.
Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Concentrations of Credit Risk
	Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company limits its credit risk with respect to cash by maintaining cash balances with high quality financial institutions. At times, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents may exceed federally insured limits. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are minimal due to the collection history and due to the nature of the Company’s royalty revenues. Generally, the Company does not require collateral or other security to support accounts receivables.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Earnings Per Share
	Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income from continuing operations, loss on discontinued operations and net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the effect of common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method. The difference between basic and diluted weighted-average common shares results from the assumption that all dilutive stock options, warrants and restricted stock outstanding were exercised into Common Stock if the effect is not anti-dilutive.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 provides guidance for revenue recognition and affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is the recognition of revenue when a company transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under the current guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the method and impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
	In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period” (“ASU 2014-12”). ASU 2014-12 affects entities that grant their employees share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments in ASU 2014-12 require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. ASU 2014-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the method and impact the adoption of ASU 2014-12 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
	In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 provides guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. For each reporting period, management will be required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. The amendments in ASU 2014-15 are effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt the methodologies prescribed by ASU 2014-15 by the date required, and does not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2014-15 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
