Fashion and Design World Today

Perhaps actress Gwyneth Paltrow is not entirely relying on her showbiz career for her future. Just like most people who want to ensure that they are well covered, the popular actress has recently launched her own fashion line.

The Academy Award winning actress will launch her first autumn/winter 2009 collection in London next week according to ElleUK.com. She collaborated with French label ZOEtee’s on the capsule collection, from which all proceeds will reportedly go to a children’s charity.

Paltrow has been both applauded and derided for her sense of style over the years. She was widely panned for her Oscar’s outfits in 1998 and 2002 but has emerged in the last 18 months with a sleek new bob, an array of little black dresses and a fashion-forward attitude. It remains to be seen how this will influence her first collection.

The mother-of-two, and wife of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, has recently embarked on two other non-acting related ventures – a cooking show based on her travels in Spain, which is currently screening on Foxtel, and her website and e-newsletter Goop.

She also returned to the silver screen in Iron Man alongside Robert Downey Jr, after a self-imposed break from acting when her children were born. Her latest film Two Lovers, co-starring Joaquin Phoenix, is yet to be released in Australia.
