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.
Katie Holmes Trench from New York & Co.: Look for Less
You know we love New York & Company —one of our favorite affordable stops for super cute and current workwear separates—and apparently Katie Holmes does too. The Tom Cruise-wife, Suri-mom (isn’t she an actress too?) is increasingly viewed as a chic fashion trendsetter, but apparently she’s not all designer, all the time—she was recently spotted rocking this fab plaid trench from NY&Co., which is currently available in stores for only $74.95 (it will be available online in December). Plaid, of course, is super hot for Fall . . .
Go to New York & Co. to find a store near you.
Katie Holmes: Look for Less
Katie Holmes’ new short ‘do has captured all the media attention lately (and it is pretty darn cute) but we’re still sort of increasingly enamoured with her style—she seems to always hit the right balance of ease and chic. This look caught our attention mostly for the high-waisted wide-leg pant, which takes the jeans-and-t-shirt combo to the next level. We’ve put some budget pieces together so you can look this good running around town, but one note: finding a navy short sleeve cardigan on the cheap turned out to be harder than getting Suri off the bottle, so we’ve substituted classic black. If anyone has a lead on the navy cardigan for less, we’re all ears . . .
