Celebrities turned Designers Options

[misoshiru]

So, there's a lot of Celebrities these days who've decided to design clothing as well.
For example, Justin Timberlake - William Rast, Mandy Moore - Mblem, Scarlett Johansson designed for Adidas and now she's designing for Reebok, and Paris Hilton has designed a clothing line for Steve Madden.

Personally, I'd prefer for celebrities to leave the clothes alone. Say, if Ashely and MK Olsen decided to start designing clothing, more and more people would probably end up looking like hobos with their oversized...everythings. And, taking Mblem as an example, all Mandy Moore does, is design "vintage-looking" tees. I just feel that there's nothing special about them, and why buy a vintage-looking tee for at least $50 or so when you can actually go to a vintage store and get much cheaper actual vintage tees?

Thoughts?

Well their are some celebrities that just endorse something and then there are celebrities that somewhat take part in the designing. Most of the clothes and accessories are too much for me to buy. I do like some of the L.A.M.B. stuff. If I was rich I'd buy 100 dollar shoes.

I think the only way for their lines to be legitimate is to actually be really involved with them. I think most celebrities are too busy with all the other obligations they have to really pay attention to their clothing lines. They rarely actually come up with the designs on their own. There's always a team of people, basically just bouncing ideas off of them until there's something they like. It's just another thing they're trying to do, just so they can say they've done it.

Well it's not like they're actually designing it on their own. They have plenty of professionals helping them. Also, they should have a good idea of how to do it because most are around it a lot. Most of the designs are just their style made for everyone else to wear.

Yeah.. the majority of celebrities that have fashion lines of some sort.. don't actually "design" them. They pretty much just slap their name on the line, which, as you have to admit, gets people to buy it. I do agree, however, that Gwen Stefani's and Kate Moss's clothes are.. cute.
