L.A.M.B. by Gwen Stefani for LeSportsac

from mtv news

Gwen Stefani is as much a fashion icon as a music icon, so it's no surprise the No Doubt singer is launching her own clothing line.

Dubbed L.A.M.B., Stefani's apparel line won't fully debut until spring of 2004, but the company is teaming with LeSportsac for a series of handbags and accessories due in stores September 1.

The line will feature 10 handbags and totes as well as eight other items, including wallets, cosmetic bags and, of course, a CD case, according to LeSportsac.

All of the L.A.M.B. accessories will be marked with Stefani's favorite words — music, angel, baby, love and lamb — in white Old English letters on black.

The bags will feature LeSportsac's signature rip-stop nylon along with a variety of antiqued metal hardware, leather trims and colorful linings. As a special musical touch, some of the bags will have woven guitar straps as handles.

Prices start at $20 and range up to $158 for a "tour bag" duffel.

I was so hesitant to like Gwen <span style='font-size:9'>b/c I don't like no doubt</span>...but I'm really starting to like her style now that I can see past the belly baring shirts and bikini tops.
These bags sound very cute!

So has anyone seen these bags yet???? B)

 

[Meg]

Yes i've seen them. The ad's are out now. I don't like the graffitti style ones but she has some that alright. they are army green with a tab that has stripes on it. i'm explaining it very oddly but they're alright although i wouldn't buy them.

I agree - I'm not digging them, though it sounds as though many of her stylish star friends have nabbed themselves some of Gwen's bags.

NY September 9, 2003 - It was billed as a celebration of Gwen Stefani's successful bag line for LeSportsac, but the big news was what the chanteuse wore to the party - a majorly sexy look from her own collection.

Resplendent, dazzling even, Stefani appeared before a blaze of paparazzi lights in an all-white ensemble composed of a double-collared vest just about gathered at the back and bell-bottom party pants - all kitted up with a white military belt, dangling diamante necklaces and a superb peacock broach. Think ravishingly sexy damsel in distress arriving on a Napoleonic battleship, but with platinum blonde '30s finger curls.

"Yeah, it's my own design. I finally got my first samples," a beaming Stefani told FWD, showing off her flaunt-it-while-you-got-it look, as LeSportsac CEO Tim Schifter squired her around the Four Seasons Restaurant.

While light on specifics, Stefani batted an eyelid or two and added, "I want people to recognize me in the collection." Named L.A.M.B. Gwen Stefani, the No Doubt singer's collection will debut in spring 2004.

Stefani's very put-together debut outfit did delay her arrival at the party though. The singer showed up 90 minutes into the event, which Heidi Klum, Alan Cumming, Helen Schifter, Rufus Wainwright, Anna Sui, Catherine Malandrino, Ann Jones, Hamish Bowles, Aerin Zinterhoffer, Charlotte Ronson, Rick and Kathy Hilton, Fern Mallis, Rena Sindi, Shoshanna Lonstein, Gilles and Kelly Bensimon, Fernanda Niven and Dennis Basso all attended.

Basso had not quite gulped down one of the Four Seasons' meaty oysters when Stefani made her entrance, forcing the designer to theatrically mouth the words, "You look so beautiful," to the Carole Lombard of rock.

The L.A.M.B. for LeSportsac collection, a mιlange of the brand's signature rip-stop nylon and grosgrain logo tape with leather trims, woven guitar straps and antiqued metal hardware, is selling up a storm, aided by a novel guerrilla campaign that includes posters throughout Manhattan and ads on New York cabs.

"We just started the taxis today. Matter of fact, we've five of them waiting outside," smiled Schifter, before heading off to a private post-party dinner at Manhattan's restaurant of the moment - Lever House.
