Beyonce's House Of Dereon Line

[Ianastar]

All of these celebrities trying to do clothing is absurd.

J-Lo
Puff Daddy or whatever he calls himself these days

etc etc etc.

And it's all crap!!!



If her line....didnt check out the site yet........looks anything like what she wears...we are all in trouble.

God, who cares!!!!

You don't have to care, she has a targeted audience. She knows as well as her marketing firm "who" these clothes will be marketed to.

It is the assumption that she is marketing to masses, but obviously she has a niche market. Young, African American females. Teens to early twenties. Don't fit in that category, then this line is not for YOU! Just like Apple-bottom Jean is marketed to African American women with J-Lo booties, got a flat *** -- then this line is not for YOU. A&F targets specifically to young middle, high school and college white females, they know who dollar they are catching and so does the House of Dereon.

Just SING!!

You do not need a fashion line as advertisment (Which all in all I think it is. She may know a thing or two about fashion but I highly doubt she has what it takes to run a house or design) . MTV has you there!

Although I despise the idea of celeb designers (like celeb politicians), I believe she had an interest in fashion before her singing career so all to her for going back to her passion and using her talent and money any way she can.

Beyonce and her mother did have an existing interest in fashion and beauty BEFORE her celebrity career.

You know, who is the LAW? -- who has the right to determine who can and can not -- start up a fashion line. NOBODY! Obviously if a person has the drive, interest, passion, financial resources and backing to launch an apparel line, its going to happen! It may not be to everybody personal taste -- but, hey thats the industry, there are plenty of other labels to choose from, pick one and move-on.

I personally saw nothing horrible on her website. I saw jeans cut for African American females with a logo on the pocket, several down coats and Chinchilla biker jackets. Nothing amazing but nothing horrible either. So I'll chalk up most of the comments to 100% hateration!

These young design students better get used to the fact the scene of fashion production has CHANGED! Everyone with or without formal training can front and/or produce their own clothing line, especially if they already have a built-in "following" or fan base. It just marketing and advertising 101 people. Beyonce is a brand, Gwen Stefani is a brand, P Diddy is a brand. Something to be marketed and labeled from perfume to sneakers, from jeans/apparel to eyewear. Not happy about it -- sorry, its the reality of the business you're in.

I thought I'd chime in here and give a slightly different perspective. I can't express how much I adore fashion with just words. I'll just say that it's definitely a sickness at this point. I am an African American female in the aforementioned age group to which Beyonce/Tina's line is supposed to be directed to. I am a fan of Beyonce's music, but not necessarily a fan of hers, per se. I will be quite honest and frank. Overall, I thought her line was crap. I liked the gypsy-inspired dress, the jean vintage-inspired top, and the green, linen-lined sweater. The rest was tacky, and I wouldn't be caught dead in it. Even the champagne gown was ruined with that horrid panel at the midsection. As far as her website goes: like someone mentioned before, the outfit that Beyonce wore on the first page was cute, which I kind of expected to be replicated in her line. What do I see instead? Tacky jeans and 900 dollar chinchilla jackets. Tacky, tacky, tacky. I want to like this line, but I just can't. Maybe if all these celebs had some sense as far as what their fanbase wanted, they'd stay around for more than 5 years. I don't see this line lasting more than a year (at the most).

does anyone know how much money are line has made so far and what are the reviews on her fashion line...

 

[James1057]

OMG please NO!!!!!!! put a end to this celebrity designing madness!!!!!

 

[Missivtec22]

Why do celebs think that just because they are rich and famous they can do anything: write biographies and the grand age of 25 or whatever, producing work out videos or designing hideous clothes. I mean this would look ok if it didnt look like someone had attaked it with scissors

I bet the next of her collections will look like merainges(sp?) rolled in glitter but that is just my opinion

 

[cutiemagootie13]

I think Beyonce has a wonderful voice and is not the worst actress to make it in Hollywood but Im very weary about this fashion line. Do you remember Destiny's Child's horrendous matching outfits? yikes. This "hip hop," influenced style is a little scary to me. But maybe thats just because its not my cup of tea. I guess we'll have to see.

I like Beyonce's Clothing Line and its hers mom and her and her grandmother style three generations in one its not like Glamourous but its nice a mix of the 40's and modern I love the 40's style I think she has a site up how are you guys doing Im new

This is a nice dress but its loose on this model it looks like its meant to be Fitted on the woman's curve

 

[babyladybones]

No! Someone stop her! Don't let her go through with this!

Well, at least watching everything unfold will be entertaining..

 

[addicted to butterflies]

The problem isn't that she's making these horrible clothes, but that she actually believes they are stylish and that she has succeeded in yet another field after singing writing acting all that stuff singing is all she can do for god sake's

 

[Smariez_Couture]

lol o wow

 

[MUXU]

=T
the thing with these celebrity fashion lines is that behind it...there are actual designers designing these clothes
so is it the celeb's fault or the designer's that the clothes look bad

and celebs like puff daddy and jlo were often named "best dressed"
yet..when it comes to their own lines..alot of people turn heads and say it looks crap

im not saying i support this whole trend...i dont really care or hate them for this
but it's just sad when the general masses are giving credits to the celeb for something rather than "real" designers

i bet destiny's child and beyonce fans are going to eat this stuff up.

Why do people complain about celebs with clothing lines? I mean, it's not like we are going to change their minds! People-someone- is going to buy it.
