Sad news for Hills fans (although possibly, great news for fashion fans), Lauren Conrad's fledging fashion line, like her long running reality show, is cancelled indefinitely...
"In light of the economic climate, Lauren has decided to completely
rethink her line." As a result, shipment of the last spring and summer
delivery has been canceled."
Well, fair enough. It stands to reason that in the current economic climate, customers aren't exactly flocking to Bloomingdale's to buy the latest LC sundress. However, it seems La Conrad has a backup plan...
"Lauren is going to revamp her line and design with more high-end
fabrics . . . things she couldn't do the first time around," a source
close to Conrad said. (New York Post)
Sure, because in the middle of an economic crisis when people can't afford your clothes, the best thing to do is make them more expensive.
In memoriam of the Lauren Conrad Collection, we've decided to rank the top five worst celebrity fashion lines (which may or may not be indistinguishable from the top five best celebrity fashion lines)...
5. The Cast of The Hills
We're just going to go ahead and lump Lauren Conrad, Heidi Montag and Whitney Port into one sad fashion trifecta. Although, Whitney and Lauren can rest secure in the knowledge that we all know Heidi's ill-fated stint at Anchor Blue was by far the worst of the three.
4. J'aime by Jaimie Pressly
Yeah, we also find this now-defunct fashion line by My Name is Earl star Jaimie Pressly to be perplexing. Sort of Max Azria-meets-Stevie Nicks-meets-figure skating chic.
3. The LL Cool J Collection
Ladies love cool James! But apparently, not so much his "fashion for the whole family" approach to his collection. His clothing is currently selling on the clearance racks at Sears.
2. Dear by Amanda Bynes
Question: why is this dress form trussed up in about six layers of hoodie, tights, gloves and hat, whilst La Bynes is looking tanfastic in a summer-y mini and heels? Also, why is the dress form wearing so many clothes and accessories, but no shoes?
1. J.Lo
True
story: our sister's ex-boyfriend's dad worked as a distributor for
J.Lo's lingerie line, and our underwear drawer is still chock-a-block
with J.Lo thongs years later. Also, they're really cute and
comfortable despite the ick factor associated with wearing underwear
giving to us by our sister's ex-boyfriend's dad. So, you know, J.Lo's
fashion empire isn't a total wash, but can we all agree that the time
for bedazzled velour tracksuits has passed us by?
Think we missed somebody? Let us know below...
