Over the last few years, it seems as if every celebrity has come out with their own fashion line. While some have been huge flops, others have been fairly successful–but which celebrity’s fashion line is tops?
That title belongs to Jessica Simpson, according to fashion newspaper Women’s Wear Daily, who recently reported that the “Jessica Simpson Collection” (which made $750 million this year and is set to make over $1 billion in 2011) has become one of the most successful celebrity fashion lines of all time.
One of the reasons Jessica Simpson’s clothing line is so successful is because she seems accessible. She’s not an 8-foot-tall, rail-thin model; at only 5’3″ and curvy, she looks more like the kind of person the average woman can relate to. Her fashion line reflects this, and is designed with every woman in mind. She even made headlines earlier this year at New York Fashion Week, when she used her friends and family–women of all different shapes and sizes–to model her line instead of fashion models. Also, the prices are fairly affordable, which only adds to the brand’s widespread appeal.
Of course, another reason Jessica Simpson is so successful in fashion is because her clothes and accessories are fabulous. I’ve lusted after more than a few pairs of her high heels, and I like pretty much all of the clothes I’ve seen in stores and on the website.
After suffering so many setbacks in her acting and music careers, I’m happy to hear that Jessica’s finally found such overwhelming success in the fashion world!
Are you a fan of Jessica Simpson’s fashion line?

I actually think her fashiion line is extremely cute and accessible as you mentioned. It targets the average women and many times I’ve seen something cute and was surprised to find out it was from her! I think her pieces are good in itself and people don’t buy it just because they are her fans. So this isn’t really surprising and certainly well deserved!

I saw this, and thought, hmm. I didn’t actually know Jessica Simpson had a clothing line. After the great comments I thought I’d check it out.
(@polyrhythm - I went to http://www.jessicasimpsoncollection.com)
Anyway. I was on the website and this was too funny not to share with you all. You know when there are new additions, and a little “NEW!” thing is below the picture? Well, the clever website people at her collection missed the “N” off this one. Look: http://www.jessicasimpsoncollection.com/SHOES/Sandals/EDGEWOOD.html
pahha. “EW!”

I have to admit that I often scoff at these celebrity clothing lines, but I saw some of the Jessica Simpson slippers at Ross and they were really really cute

actually her shoes are super cute and super comfortable. i have a few pairs that i wear for special occasions, clubbing, etc. and none of them hurt, even after 15 hours of standing. they’re pretty amazing

Her line is successful because it is actually cute. I love her clothes and her shoes. While it isn’t exactly cheap, it’s not ridiculously expensive either. It is affordable. Macy’s are actually found all over the USA so more people then those that live on the West/East Coast have access to her stuff (without having to resort to the internet).

So she isn’t just a dumb blond. Hoorah!
