Can Hollywood Stars Pull the Strings on Fashion?
Everyone wants to be a designer.
With the recent declaration of the “Hills” stars – frenemies Lauren ‘LC’ Conrad and Heidi Montag – of their own clothing lines, I’m really in doubt what could they offer – well aside from the gossips and the ‘brand’.
I’ve visited laurenconrad.seenon.com and saw her latest collection called “La Vie en Rose”, and here are some of the clothes featured:
Lauren Conrad's La Vie en Rose Collection
While the clothes are indeed wearable, they are still far from the usual fashion collections offered by other designers – say Calvin Klein, Monique Lhuillier, etc. Though the site says it aims to give timeless pieces – which means something we could use over again. We’ll see
Well how about Ms. Montag? Heidi says that unlike her arch nemesis LC, her pieces are very much affordable – bags, jewelries, clothes and tops – all under $60. Can’t we get some cuter stuff than that in Wal-Mart or BestBuy?
Okay, here’s some of the Montag pieces called – what else – Heidiwood – as seen on usweekly.com:

Heidi Montag Collection 02
Heidi Montag Collection 03
Okay, enough of that. So here comes the finale: Beyonce’s fashion house. Which hardly fetched good comments (if there was any ever). It goes with the tagline “Couture.Kick.Soul”. Sorry, but I just don’t get it. It was named such to honor Beyonce’s grandmother – who bears the surname Dereon. I doubt if she feels honored though.
See below for some of the Spring Collection from House of Dereon (houseofdereon.com):

So what do you think? Should the actors and actesses of Hollywood concentrate on their acting than designing?
