Celebrity Designers

Celebrities really love to create their own fashion and accessories lines, don’t they? It seems like I’m always hearing about yet another singer or actress that’s coming out with a new line. Gwen Stephani, Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Lopez, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Beyonce and even Fergie have come out with their own stuff. Sometimes, I’m not sure if this is a good or bad celebrity trend, but it’s definitely happening. I mean, I’ve always liked Gwen Stephani’s L.A.M.B. line and it makes sense that if you want to look like your favorite celebrity, buying clothes and accessories from their line would be the easiest way, but usually, it seems like quality is sacrificed and there are just some celebrities that definitely should not be trying to influencing the fashion world.

Now, I’m mentioning this because today, Mischa Barton’s handbag line hit U.K. stores today. I’m still debating whether or not I like these bags. She has said that her handbags are inspired by vintage styles that she has seen while traveling the world. To be honest, I’ve never really cared much for Mischa Barton, but since she isn’t doing too great as an actress, maybe she’ll have better luck as a designer.
