Jessica Simpson is not designing for just toddlers, but also soon to be brides. Simpson is reported to be launching a bridal gown line to add to her nearly $1 billon fashion company. According to Simpson, she wants to design dresses for every bride, not just size 6s.
“If she does something that’s going to be memorable for decades, then certainly her wedding line is going to be successful because girls will want to mimic it!” states Fashion Star stylist Daniel Musto.
The 32-year-old is engaged to former NFL-er Eric Johnson and they are set to marry some time later this year.
Musto predicts that Simpson’s own wedding gown will give fashion insiders a look as to how Simpson might design her own line of gowns.
Alaïa Plans New Store
Azzedine Alaïa is set to open his first store since 1992!
Alaïa has revealed plans to open a flagship store near Avenue Montaigne in Paris, reports Financial Times’ Vanessa Friedman. The store will be a part of a five-floor hotel with an interior courtyard and garden that will function as a store, showroom, and some offices.
After the closing of many of his stores and the luxury line became more client-based, a flagship store this size is sure to grab attention.
The store is set to open next March.
