Anyone who's anybody in this town has their own "clothing/shoe/jewelry/handbag/anything else you can come up with" line (a la Paris Hilton & Christian Audigier's Ed Hardy, both of which happen to be slapping their names on anything they can get their money hungry hands on). Of course, these lines try (and usually succeed) to appeal to the type of consumer that think that if they owned this celebrity sponsored crap that they would be more like said celebrity and that they'd have a "piece" of them.
Obviously, I'm not excluded from above said consumers. I'll admit that there are a handful of celebs that have launched their own clothing/accessory lines that I absolutely adore, i.e. William Rast, L.A.M.B., dVb (I adore everything about/by Victoria Beckham), Jessica Simpson (shoes only) and (finally, the meat and potatoes of this post) House of Harlow 1960.
Nicole Richie's House of Harlow 1960 started in Fall 2008 and featured only 1960's inspired "costume" jewelry... I personally don't consider it as "costume-y" as it could be... but again... I like mostly things that are flashy and over the top.
Just absolutely gorgeous, huh?! Welllll... as if I didn't already want *every* piece of jewelry in her existing line, she will be debuting her new shoe collection, Winter Kate, in Spring 2010. From the few pictures I was able to find, it has a very native american, tribal feel.... I LOVE IT! Who am I kidding... they had me once I saw the TO DIE FOR platform and chunky heel! I think I can manage to pull away from my natural gravitation towards everything black, leather and rock n' roll for a minute and do the bohemian, tribal chic thing for a minute... or two.
PostScript: Don't you just love that she names her line after her daughter, Harlow Winter Kate Madden?!?
