Lily Allen to Start Clothing, Handbag, and Jewelry Label

English pop star Lily Allen may be known for questionable fashion sense – poufy prom dresses and sneakers, anyone? – but, like many celebrities and singers, is coming out with a more prominent clothing label and possibly collaborating with Chanel for handbag designs. While Chanel, a brand often associated with classic and sophisticated style, and Lily Allen seem to go together like oil and water, celebrity products or fashion endorsements are nothing new. Allen already has a clothing line, albeit under-promoted, in the UK at fashion retailer New Look. Her new fashion products, particularly a Chanel handbag, could cross the pond and possibly be seen in North American stores.

So far, in terms of working with Chanel, her style has been a bit more sophisticated than the ruffled I-store-this-prom-dress look that Allen typically sports. While InStyle has pictures of , blog Nitrolicious has pictures of Allen’s line for New Look, which looks more like the style associated with Allen.

While many celebrity lines or products, with fragrances in particular, seldom resemble the clothing that the celebrity of singer sports, at least the fashion seen on Lily Allen resembles clothing she’s often seen in. Is that a good thing? In a sense, yes, as Allen doesn’t have the typical style associated with most pop stars over the past ten years. As Allen has more of a natural women’s figure, her clothing from New Look seems more apt for women of all sizes, be it an American size two or size 14. And, as many fifteen year old girls probably want to dress like the top pop stars of the moment, Allen’s line, so far, is still more modest than cropped, midriff-bearing shirts and low-cut jeans but still stylish and fashionable. Will her new fashion lines, from jewelry to Chanel handbags, continue to reflect this style?
