(Celebrity/$money$) + design = Coolness ^100%

A new fad in fashion is clearly the fact that celebrities are crossing over from model/actress to fashion designer and releasing collections so us average joes to have the opportunity to dress like them/own a label with their name on. We know it all started back in the day with Kate Moss and her collection for TopShop, which, quite frankly, I thought was a big disapointment. And then there was Madonna releasing her limited range with H&M and Kylie did the same across the water in Shanghai. Hell, even Lilly Allen has her own range. All of these collaborations, I feel, werent any good, and I pretty much wrote off being interested in them and never even bothered getting excited when ''so and so''s collection was going to be coming out next week....

Buuuuuttt (and I think you know where this is going..) something has happened recently that has completely changed my mind.

The release of Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen's label, Elizabeth and James, was a huge breath of fresh air on the celebrity/design scene. Obviously they have great style of their own, so it seems obvious that they would be able to come up with some amazing clothes. I think they really tackled the creation of a flattering and girly range, including a great use of colours and styles. Too bad is super expensive because this is a collection I would buy buy buy!

Another great celebrity lable is Twenty8Twelve which is Sienna and Savannah Millers range. I absolutely LOVE these clothes! The current range is summery and include loads of super cute tea dresses that look so effortless! I swear, you just have to throw it on and you look like a super model! Ha, well... You know.. But again, quite expensive.. Its a bit more affordable than Elizabeth and James, but still, not something a student can afford. Boo Hoo!
