Debbie Phelps signs deal with Chico's
Filed under: Accessories, Clothing, Celebrities with Style, Get the Look
In a triumph for lovers of bright patterns and matching jewelry, Debbie Phelps, mother of Olympic Champion Michael Phelps, middle school vice principal and expert accessorizer, now has her own six-figure deal with the Chico's clothing chain.
As part of the deal she will appear in their marketing materials, including the catalog and probably the website. She will also be dressed by Chico's for appearances. Watch for her on Oprah!
The Chico's fashion philosophy is a bit flowing and embellished for some. As you can see in the Debbie Phelps Collection (that we posted about last week), which highlights some of Debbie's looks from the Olympics, every print can benefit from a belt, and statements earrings are always paired with matching chunky necklaces.
That said, we are filled with admiration for anyone who can be so consistently pulled together, especially while on an extended overseas trip. At the Olympics, Debbie's hair and make up were always flawless (she has a very Liz Taylor aesthetic, don't you think?) and her Chico's wardrobe suited her perfectly.
We are delighted to see that she's getting a little special treatment and reward after all those years of supporting Michael, driving him to the pool and doing his laundry. It's about time she was celebrated. And kudos to Chico's for recognizing and rewarding a loyal customer!
