Celebrities seem to get their way all of the time – what with the line jumping, free goodies and overall sense of entitlement. Not to mention the fashionable western style handbags, designer accessories and other excellent designer wares. As I have mentioned in this blog before, there are a number of celebrities who have begun their own fashion lines or just attached their name to a specific brand. In this line of news, there are two celebrities that have some exciting developments coming up!
The first story is from The Celebrity Café, which is reporting that singer Jessica Simpson’s fashion line The Jessica Simpson Collection has pumped up its worth in 2010. The products sold in 2010 amounted to a staggering net gross of $750 million dollars, $1 million of which will go to Jessica herself:
“One possible reason as to why Simpson’s brands are successful could be because women identify with the singer. ‘She is the girl next door and has great product that surrounds her. People like her. People look at her as a style icon,’ said founder and CEO of Camuto Group, Vince Camuto. Camuto is Simpson’s licensee.”
Possibly looking for a million dollar payday of her own, Oscar winning actress Hilary Swank is reportedly in talks for starting her own fashion line, according to Styleite:
“Hilary Swank is working on what WWD described as ‘an apparel collection with an athletic bend.’ Oh, dear. This follows last month’s news that Swank was working on a fashion-focused game show for the CW – which would beg the question: what’s with Swank’s new fashion obsession?”
Well I think we all know the answer to that question. The article and I both hypothesize that Swank wants a chunk of change like Jessica Simpson gets. A little money lining gorgeous clutches never hurt anyone, right?
