DALLAS, Mar 31, 2009 / FW/ — Gwyneth Paltrow and Rachel Zoe join the list of celebrity fashion designers as they launch their own clothing lines.
The London Telegraph reported that Gwyneth Paltrow is collaborating with French label ZOEtee’s, who are renowned for their loungewear and jersey separates for the Oscar-winning actress clothing line. The line, which has been named “the ZOEtee’s Loves Gwyneth”, is expected to show a “luxe, sophisticated yet very wearable collection of instant hits,” according to style website Elle.com.
Expect to see mesh detailed tops, draped evening dresses, vintage look sweatshirts, jumpsuits and recycled cotton legging basics. ZOEtee’s Loves Gwyneth will hit stores in both Europe and the U.S. in mid-August, with proceeds from every piece being donated to the charity Kids Company, says People.com
Meanwhile, on our side of the pond, Rachel Zoe of Bravo’s The Rachel Zoe Project, is also launching her own fashion line that includes jewelry, clothing, bags and fragrance, reported People.com.
“It will be absolutely, 100% accessible fashion for sure — for everybody. There’s no reason for me to do a luxury-level design. That’s not who I am. I don’t think it’s what people want from me. I think that I would need to give people that fantasy becoming a reality. That’s my job,” Rachel Zoe told reporters in Los Angeles.
