News Alert: Ashley Judd for Goody’s
What: Ashley Judd has already launched a line of clothing for Goody’s, but come August, 150 of the 286 Goody’s stores will carry “Ashley Judd Plus” for plus-sized women, according to WWD. The pieces cost only $28 to $58 and they range from blouses, knits, skirts, blazers and trousers.
What We Say: We applaud Ashley Judd for recognizing the need for more clothing lines designed for plus-sized women. Goody’s is yet another retailer in financial trouble (like Steve & Barry’s) and hopefully Ashley Judd’s clothing line will resuscitate it. Plus, part of each sale goes to Goody’s Good Deeds for Good Schools, which awards grants to local schools.
What do you think of Ashley Judd’s expanded clothing line? Do you shop at Goody’s?

News Alert: Mixing Video Games and Fashion
What: A new design is hitting the aisles at H&M next month: a black and white sporty dress designed by a contest winner on The Sims 2 video game, according to the LA Times. The designs, walked down a virtual runway, were judged by H&M’s designers in Sweden. The winning dress is moving from the TV screen to the hanger.
What We Say: That dress is actually very cute! We’ve played The Sims before—who knew it could become a business venture for its fans? We also can’t help but wonder about the effects of this—will we all become amateur clothes designers now that you can do a sketch on a video game? We’d like a go at it, please!
What do you all think about the winning design? Will you buy it?
