Jessica & Ashlee Collaborate on Clothing Line

http://www.dosomething.org/files/pictures/actionguide/ashlee%20and%20jessica.jpgShe’s helped teens dress for prom, and now, she’ll be helping them dress for everyday life! Jessica Simpson is teaming up with little sis Ashlee Simpson to create a line of tween apparel as part of the Jessica Simpson Collection, according to WWD.

The new products, available in stores in fall, will be geared to the fashion-forward tween and will feature sportswear, denim and activewear styled after Simpson’s “girly, playful attitude,” the trade mag reports.

Knit tops, hoodies, pullovers, striped shrunken knits, graphic T-shirts, drawstring pants, footwear and outerwear will all be part of the collection, with both Jessica and Ashlee serving as co-creative directors for the line.
”Creating a tween apparel collection was a natural extension for the brand,” Jessica tells WWD.

“I’m excited to bring my sister, Ashlee, along as co-creative director of this division, because she brings a savvy rocker edge that defines today’s tweens.”
Ashlee, who has always been a big supporter of her big sis’s empire, agrees. “My goal as co-creative director will be to design clothes that will help inspire young girls to express their personalities and creativity through fashion.”

This marks the first time the sisters are collaborating on a fashion venture.

Leighton Meester: Face Of Vera Wang Fragrance

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cJk8c00m_r8/S2B_Im7ND6I/AAAAAAAABYQ/pXcAuCf2nno/s400/leighton-meester-sexy.jpgIf you thought Leighton Meester was making a lot of money before, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

Meester, best known for her effortlessly perfect portrayal of Blair Waldorf on Gossip Girl, is set to be the face of Vera Wang’s next fragrance. While details are skimpy on the fragrance itself (we don’t know what it smells like, looks like or what it will be called) we do know that its campaign will be shot this weekend somewhere in New York City. Keep your eyes peeled, Upper East Siders!

We also know that the campaign and the fragrance will be available for your sensory consumption next summer, and that Wang is as in love with Meester as we are. The designer told WWD that she’s certain Meester’s “beauty, talent and spirit will inspire all the young women that I hope will enjoy this passionate, new young fragrance.”

By which she means it’ll inspire the money right out of their purses! Meester’s endorsement means a lot to beauty brands. She’s already been hard at work as Herbal Essences‘ brand ambassador, and her face is featured in the company’s ads and on its Facebook page. The fragrance deal will probably feature similar placement of Meester’s graceful decolletage and gorgeous face, so we won’t have to watch Gossip Girl reruns to placate our annual summer Blair withdrawal.
