FASHON NEWS: Madonna Collaborating With Daughter On Clothing Line

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

Madonna and daughter, LourdesReal Style Network told you about this fashion news before when Madonna announced that she was launching a junior clothing line at Macy’s called Material Girl. What’s making a fashion news update on the story is that Madonna now reveals this clothing line is not only a collaboration between the singer and her 13 teen year old daughter Lourdes Leon, but that without Lourdes she wouldn’t even have done the line.

Madonna said Lourdes got a strong sense of design from family friend fashion designer Stella McCartney. Madonna also said that without Lourdes (who she calls Lola) she wouldn’t be making the fashion line and it has changed the way she sees her daughter. Madonna said: If Lola wasn’t so completely involved in the line, designing, consulting, whatever you want to call it, I wouldn’t do it. Really she does most of the work, honestly… I see her more as a creative person, as an artist and less as my daughter as we are working, and then every once and a while I remembered she is my daughter.

The line has an 80’s inspiration that is taken from both Madonna and Lourdes’ own fashion sense (like mother, like daughter so it seems). The collection will include jeans, shoes, fingerless gloves, necklaces and other accessories.

The Material Girl clothing line will be available in Macy’s in September.

Victoria Beckham Fashion Collection Stolen

Saturday, December 5th, 2009

victoria-beckham1Victoria Beckham entire spring collection destined for Neiman Marcus in New York has been stolen. The collection estimated to be worth over $600,000.00 consisted of 50 to 75 dresses. Daily Mirror reports: 
A source said: ‘This operation was meticulously planned. The thieves must feel they can make a fortune selling the collection on the black market.
‘Victoria was informed straight away about the incident and was shocked and deeply saddened, although her first priority was the well-being of the driver.’
The collection has seen huge popularity since it launched 18 months ago and counts celebrities including Elle Macpherson, Dannii Minogue, Drew Barrymore and Katherine Jenkins among its fans.

This is really weird, as it is clearly terrible. Chanel, Yves St.Laurent, Dior fashion lines are not stolen and Victoria Beckham’s line is? Do they have better security or did the thieves think her clothes were more sellable ( this is the weird part). In any case we hope Victoria Beckham recovers her attire and the thieves are caught.

FASHION NEWS: JENNIFER LOPEZ CALLS IT QUITS

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

50jl.JPGSeemingly against the trend where every celebrity and their grandmother has jumped on the “designer” bandwagon, Jennifer Lopez is pulling out of the clothing business in the U.S. At least temporarily.

She is closing her fashion line called Sweetface, which sells contemporary sportswear. The brand was sold in the U.S. for six years and the last collection was for Spring, 2009.
“In light of some new company strategies, we have decided to put the Sweetface line on hiatus while we prepare to reintroduce the brand in the near future with new messaging points and an entirely new fashion point of view,” the company said Tuesday.

Jennifer was one of the first celebrities to get into the fashion design business with her JLO brand in 2001. She  still retains her JLO by Jennifer Lopez branded costume jewelry, which Macy’s continues to carry, and the Victoria’s Secret catalogue carries the brand’s shoe collection. Each of those are produced under licensing agreements. The company also continues to do well with fragrances; there have been six scents launched with Coty Inc. to date, and a seventh is due to be introduced later this year.

JLO by Jennifer Lopez junior business was closed in the U.S. in 2007. The collection was distributed outside of the States where the brand continues to perform well.
