Celebrity Labels on an Uprise
Jessica Simpson hit us seemingly all at once with JS by Jessica Simpson, Princy, and Jessica Simpson Footwear (not to mention her makeup, perfume, and hair product lines). Jennifer Lopez rolled out Sweetface and J Lo. Earlier this year Sarah Jessica Parker worked with Steve & Barry’s to produce Bitten.
And let us not forget the numerous - and I do mean numerous - other celebs who have a clothing label or two: Gwen Stefani, Will.i.am, Sean “P. Diddy” Combs, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and Justin Timberlake only skim the surface.
How many more celebrity labels do we need?
Well, we’ll have to make room for at least two more. Amanda Bynes and Paris Hilton are jumping on the bandwagon.
Amanda, like SJP, teamed up with Steve & Barry’s for Dear, which she’ll debut in the Manhattan store on August 16. The name is endearing, coming from the affectionate way older
women reference young ladies. She is bringing us everything this fashion world has been missing - hooded sweatshirts, racerback tank tops, mini jean skirts, hearts, stars, and multi-layered shirts. Dear is also full-equipped and ready to go with it’s own MySpace page. Just guess who the target audience is for this line.
Paris, capitalizing on her oversized feet (size 11!), just signed with Antebi Footwear Group to create Paris Hilton Footwear that will debut next year. “My goal is to create a stylish and fun fashion line from head to toe,” said Hilton in a statement. While I wish Paris all the best, I can’t help but point out … head? Paris, it’s a shoe company.
Who’s next? My guess would be Jessica Biel, Hayden Panettiere, Jennifer Hudson, Jon Stewart, Suri Cruise …

Did you know that the actual celebrity label doesn’t make much difference when people buy celebrity clothing?
