Celebrity Fashion Lines
New Fragrance from Jennifer Lopez, Do You Care?
What: Jennifer Lopez recently scrapped her Sweetface fashion line, but don’t think she’s done with the fashion world just yet. Now she’s launched a new fragrance called - MyGlow -, a follow up to her many other scents, including Miami Glow and Glow after Dark. Let us guess… the theme is “glow?” This particular perfume was inspired by her 16-month-year-old twins, featuring “lavender, water lily, freesia, white rose, wet leaves, peony, casablanca lily, skin musk, sandalwood, precious woods and heliotrope.”
What We Say: Wonder why so many celebs are churning out the fragrance lines? Well, it’s because it a very profitable business- it takes less than $5.00 to make one bottle of the type of fragrance that celebs like J.Lo hawk for more than $40 bucks. Also fragrances are considered affordable luxuries, so during a down economic time when people can’t afford $2,000 purses, they can afford $40 bottles of perfume.
Beyoncé Goes Back to School with Sasha Fierce Junior’s Collection
What: Beyoncé and her mom Tina Knowles are launching a new junior clothing line just in time for the back-to-school season. The new collection, dubbed Sasha Fierce for Deréon, is set to include sportswear, outerwear, handbags, footwear, eyewear, lingerie and jewelry. It’ll be sold at department stores such as Macy’s and Dillard’s and specialty stores including Jimmy Jazz and Against All Odds, with wholesale prices ranging from $25 to $75.
What Tina Knowles Says:
“When the tour started, we noticed the definite style of it,” Tina [Knowles] explained. “Thierry Mugler designed the clothes for the tour, but we really wanted to celebrate the style and interpret that into a collection.”
What We Say: Uhhh…. Seriously? The only place we see the House of Dereon collection is on the sales rack of our local Macys and Marshalls. Are we the only ones who think Beyonce’s
“alter ego” is kinda of, well, corny? She’s an awesome performer, no doubt, but we think singing is her forte, NOT designing clothing.
Katie Holmes Fashion Line- Suri the New Fashion Icon?
What: Katie Holmes has been dropping hints about her designing ambitions for a while now; her and stylist Jeanne Yang collaborated on some individual pieces in the past, but the pair hasn’t had the guts to take it to the next, more professional level. In the latest issue of Glamour Magazine, though, Katie finally admits to working on a girls’ clothing line, inspired by her own little girl, Suri.
What Katie Says:
“Jeanne Yang and I have been working together. We started about a year ago, sketching different things, trying to find comfortable clothing for our daughters that is also pretty and cute… We both grew up with mothers who sewed.”
What We Say: We like that Katie’s been hush hush about her designing efforts because it seems humble of her, and for some reason, we’re just not totally annoyed by this most recent celeb/fashion combo. Katie’s taking cues from her and Tom’s adorable daughter, little Suri. Because no one’s giving out any concrete information about when and where the line would launch, we’re guessing Katie and Yang are still a bit unfocused, or perhaps nervous about stepping into the unstable retail industry.
We say, avoid the upscale boutiques and take your line to WalMart or better yet, Children’s Place.
