Penélope Cruz starts new clothing line

Filed under: CELEBRITY STYLE, Celebrity, News

It seems like every time you turn around another celebrity has created a clothing line. The latest actress-turned-designer is Penélope Cruz, who's set to design a 25-piece collection with her younger sister, Monica.

The line, which includes accessories, will be sold through the Mango, a Spanish chain. Not surprisingly, the sisters will also be promoting their collection as the faces of the company's fall/winter ad campaign.

This isn't the first time the sisters have worked together in the fashion arena. They've already designed handbags and jewelery for Samantha Thavasa, a Japanese chain, and own a store together, called Amacord.

To be honest, I'm not a big enough Penélope Cruz fan to have any idea what her personal fashion sense is like, but the bags she and her sister designed for Samantha Thavasa -- though not awful -- are certainly nothing to write home about. I doubt we'll be seeing anything shocking original from this latest collaboration.
