Ok, this is getting ridiculous
According to WWD.com, Penelope Cruz and her sister Monica are set to design a range of clothing for Spanish retail chain MNG. Along with the "25-piece collection, including accessories...they also will be the new faces of the retailer's fall-winter 2007 advertising campaign. Cruz and her sister, a dancer and TV actress on a "Fame"-like series called "Un Paso Adelante," already design a collection of jewelry and handbags for the Japanese retail chain Samantha Thavasa."
When will the madness stop? Who's going to be the next to join the ranks of celebrity designers- Rosanne Barr?! Who'd have thought it was so easy to design clothes? Why are these big design houses paying millions of dollars to talented people like Hedi Slimane and Phoebe Philo, when apparently anyone with a celebrity profile and killer smile can do it? Gucci's looking to freshen up their house- someone give Bai Ling a call ASAP! Oh and Karl Lagerfeld don't worry about finding yourself a successor, I have the perfect guy- Jerry O'Connell! Remmember he was the fat kid in 'Stand By Me' and he was in that TV show Sliders. He's kind of famous and he's going out with Rebecca Romijn (previously Rebecca Romijn Stamos) so surely you'd get her in the front row of the show!
P.S. Keep an eye out for the range I'm designing for Target Uzbekistan- it's inspired by the peasant chic look I'm so well known for.
