Stylish with Substance

A woman should be two things; classy & fabulous - Mlle Gabrielle Chanel

Everybody AND her MOM are becoming designers. No really...

October 09, 2009

This is not a renewal of the old joke, although it's only partially true. You know it's more fright than funny, partly because some famous new designers don't even design. It seems every singer, or not, wants to be a designer. And then famous non-singers think they can sing. Why does everyone whose name is up in lights think they can design?

Fashion bloggers, too, are crafters, entrepreneurs and even designers. But we work hard to forge our own ways, usually sewing to boot. This is what Ella is doing, but I won't talk too much about my line that's merely upcoming. ;-)

Back to those spoiled celebs...

A while ago Lindsay Lohan debuted her leggings collection, under her own label, and recently started collaborating with another. Now her mom, Dina Lohan, has previewed her shoe collection. It's named after their famous surname in an oh-so mindless, embarrassing take on a pun, "Shoe-Han".

And you guessed it, Dina won't be designing, only having some part in the creative direction. Oh boy...

The name just makes me think of more puns relating to the slang term, "ho". It can be combined with so many other words that would suit Dina. In a way it makes talking about, if not wearing, "her" shoes oh so versatile.

Now for that peep-toe boot that wonderful role model tried on for the cameras - it's no more stylish than a cast.

You'll be sure not to purchase a pair for your own mommy dearest this Spring, when the line debuts around Mother's Day.

/// Commenter deleted due to replica website link
/// " but I won't talk to much about my line that's merely upcoming. ;-)", i think it should be " but I won't talk too much about my line that's merely upcoming. ;-)".
A new designer who doesn't even design should not be called a "designer".

I don't understand where you got the idea I don't design (also Mrs. Lohan is the non-designer). The line is not in stores, etc., but I do plenty of designing AND creating/sewing.

Hmmmmm.. Anyway..

Also linking to some replica site? Um such a person has no right to argue anything in fashion.

Anyway, even though the comment had to be deleted I didn't want anyone who'd read that and come back and read this to get confused about my company, work, etc. Even though, yes, new people will read this - that's ok.

Bye..

To Gerri - hi! It's funny how the trolls btw never have legitimate links. Anyway, thanks for the nice comment. Smiling

Argh. Heh heh. Troll spotted probably the first spelling error in 4 years. That's (spelling error published) what I get for not doing this full-time anymore. One proofread and I think I'm done.

At least I still practice some to help keep my sales copy in line.

Also it's really not nice to point out errors in that way also.

Someone's just being mean - they tell us that such people are actually jealous.

Someone wants to be a designer, even an "upcoming" (like within a year, which is awesome) designer - but is only associated with some replica carp. Sticking out tongue
