Celebrity, the Brand That Fits
Is Jessica Simpson slowly taking over your world?

Gwen Stefani's spring collection got rave reviews at Fashion Week, and Donald Trump suits are purportedly making a killing at Macy's. Sounds impressive, but is it really? Anyone can hire a team of top fashion grads to rip off some upscale Vivienne Westwood or Ralph Lauren. But it takes real celebrity hubris to say, "Buy my crusty rhinestone-studded tracksuit with my name splashed across it, b*tches." We wonder, who's got enough star polish to sell Middle America crap they'd never wear themselves?

We were convinced Beyoncé and her mom's House of Dereon would be the real shoo-in for ugliest celebrity line, what with Mommy Beyoncé's unerring crackhead-stripper fashion sense. But actually, the line's better looking than we expected (Bloomingdale's customers will be able to see for themselves, come November.) Perhaps Nicky Hilton's Chick line wins the prize. Between her clothes and Nelly's Apple Bottoms line, it looks like a Bedazzler barfed all over Macy's Juniors section.

The greatest contender for foulest collection might be Jessica Simpson, with her recently launched JS by Jessica Simpson and Princy lines (Princy was Jessica's childhood nickname). JS is sold exclusively through the Fashion Bug chain, with the higher-priced Princy line at Macy's, Nordstrom, and Dillard's. Tarrant Apparel Group, the company behind both Princy and JS, claimed demand was high for Princy in particular—designed not by Simpson, but some faceless worker-bee drone plucked from the company. Tarrant, who also handles House of Dereon, believes they're covering all demographics with the two pop stars—or as one of Tarrant's owners put it, "We get the red states with Jessica and the blue states with Beyoncé."

According to Simpson, this is her opportunity to "share my love of fashion and my lifestyle with my fans, and women across America." Photos of the star might show this love of fashion limited to revealing Roberto Cavalli numbers, but we like to imagine that during rare undocumented moments, Simpson pulls on a pair of her "Flower Up" Flare Leg Jeans ($89 at Nordstrom), with a Princy Piping Good Shirt (in "Rio Red," $39 at Macy's). During her chubbier periods, Jessica may even slide on a pair of her plus-size jeans, sold exclusively through Avenue.com. But it was really after we saw this sweet smaller-sized pair from JS that our minds were made up: Who needs Gucci when you've got Fashion Bug?

Like a plague that sweeps the nation—if you can envision a plague with fantastically tanned breasts—Simpson will branch out to Wal-Mart soon. Her Sweet Kisses collection is like a smaller and lower-priced take on her Dessert line at Sephora, consisting of flavored perfume, "body frosting," lip plumpers, and other assorted gooey bath and body products in Vanilla Cupcake, Crème Brulée, or Strawberry Shortcake scents. "I like all the products, said Jessica, "but when I want it on my body or mouth, I always choose something with vanilla."

Funny, we didn't know she was so particular . . .

The truth hurts doesn't it!
Hilarious article, thanks I needed a good laugh!

Jessica Simpson dresses like a stripper from Montana and that's the end of it, but did you check out Trump's line (as mentionned in the article, the man manages to look ridiculous in Brioni so his line of clothes is something to be seen to be believed....

I honestly do love Jessica Simpson as a singer and adorably stupid blonde. But her clothing lines are just repulsive, like her own personal style. Great article, DosViolines, thanks for posting, I had a good laugh.

why why why???? celebrities you are NOT designers, you dont have to talent, you dont have the taste, so get your ugly clothes out of my face. and for the people who buys 'stuff by duff' or what not, you can get much better items for cheaper.

 

[alwaysacitygirl]

She's pretty much milking her sudden burst of fame for what she can. I know she was famous before, but suddenly she's on the A list instead of the whatever list she was on before.. and so she comes out with everything. Doesn't she want to come out with a bbq sauce or something too?

 

[shoexgal]

let's see what this actually looks like! i bet it looks bad because from what i saw on her in the seventeen shoot, it looks pretty boring, HS style

fashion has gone to the dogs...i mean jessica simpson...

that girl should not have a fashion line, oh wait she doesn't, she just has her name attatched to a mass marketed label and she gets all the royalties...i hope the young girls in America understand that...she is not a designer and she will probably not be desiging this label. well maybe she will choose a color or two, but even that Im sure she will screw up!!! what a world we live in that we allow such things to happen!!!!
errrr!!!

There's already some stuff up on the Nordstrom's website...it's pretty bad...

Oh I can’t stand Simpson, she’s the most vacuous person around, and she has no talent, whatsoever, and what made her think she can design? Jessica, should go to Springfield and hang out with the other Simpsons.

What irritates me the most is that Jessica Simpson would not be caught dead wearing her princy line, but she assumes Americans are dumb enough to buy such cheap rubbish (and I don't doubt they are)

I haven't seen the collection so I can't comment on it yet but americans didn't hesitate to buy her Dessert cosmetic range so why not her clothing line?

 

[electricringo]

Think about it...
people would actually wear stuff designed by a girl who...

is a failed singer turned Reality-tv actress,
carries a multicolor monogram bag,
wears Uggs,
and ponchos.

???

HAHAHAHA! That made my day Zoolander!

 

[KhaoticKharma]

Note to Jessica: You can rip off all the famous designers you want, just don't rip off other celebrity designers- BAD celeb designers at that!

ah, i just love that comment!!!
all my admiration for village voice got a huge boost today......

 

[lostinemotion]

I agree.

Well I'm American, and I won't buy it!
Maybe a country person who lives in a remote area, where the best collections are at Walgreens.
