Someone named Amanda Bynes (who looks a lot like the cheerleader from Heroes) is creating a cheap-chic fashion line for Steve & Barry's, thus following in the footsteps of actress Sarah Jessica Parker and basketball star Stephon Marbury.Because we can always use more affordable clothing options, we checked out the official site, www.dearbyamanda.com, to see what's in store. Jean jackets, hoodies, jeans, and layered tees account for much of the line, geared towards a younger, teenage crowd. Irrespective of the target audience, we're pretty sure we could put together just about every single teeny-bopper look we've seen so far by taking a quick trip to Delia's, Old Navy and Target. So what's the incentive to shop 'Dear'? Having another choice—that, and all items will sell for $20 or less.
Look for it in stores on August 16th.
Some looks from 'Dear' by Amanda Bynes for Steve and Barry's. Unoriginal, yet cute and modest—which is highly undervalued these days.
Retailer Zara may be the last bastion of hope for clothes that may be designer-inspired, but you won't find celebrities designing their clothes (at least not for now): Check out this article in Reuters: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070703/en_nm/inditex_dc
saying that, in the late 70's Sophia Loren came out with a perfume. it wasn't that great but i bought it anyway because i saw her at Carson's in Chicago for the launch and i was so impressed by how gorgeous she looked in person, and how gracious she was as a person. so yes, names sell.
however, if you're talented and want to break out in the fashion world, what's to stop you from selling your clothes as 'coco chanel II?'
