WHO is coming out with a fashion line? Options

[Comptine]

It seems more and more celebrities and quasi-celebrities are getting their own fashion lines.

Ew? or Yay?

People I do like: Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B and Harajuku Lovers and Amanda Bynes' Dear. JLo's outer jackets are great too.

People I'm on the fence about:

1)Lauren Conrad's Collection. The dresses are plain, though not necessarily ugly, and run for about $100-$200 bucks. She accounts for the cost from the high quality of the fabric.


This is the $165 Lola dress (which I kinda like). 96% micro modal jersey 4% lycra. Jersey I know can run very expensive but such a simple dress that doesn't require much designing, it seems very overpriced.

2) Sarah Jessica Parker's Bitten line. While it's cheap, the fit and cut for a lot of the clothes are very odd and border poorly sewn. The clothes also lack innovation. Every time I go to Steve and Barry's, Bitten is kinda bland and looks the same.

3) Jessica Simpson's lineS. Princy is too young for me but does look cute. Her shoes look okay but veryyy pricey, like in Steve Madden range.

People I'm ready to completely dismiss:

1) Heidi Montag's Heidiwood line (sold at Anchor Blue) looks kinda cute but WHY IN THE WORLD DOES SHE GET A FASHION LINE? There are tons of great unknown designers out there who go to school for this and struggle to get their name out... and she puts out bad music and gets her own line? WTF?

2) Paris Hilton's line for Kitson... No. Just no.

Ones I want to check out: Mandy Moore's Mblem (cause I love her) even though I heard it's expensive and Beyonce's House of Dereon (since it looks promising).

^ That's pretty much the case with every celeb's fashion line. It's more just because it has their name behind it.

A lot of the stuff you can find things that look like for $20, no $200.
