When it comes to designer purses, people who love them tend to fall into two categories -- those who like the name or label advertised all over the bag, and those who don't. The new Chanel Unlimited line is definitely for those who belong in the first group.

Most of us in the world of fashion were slightly taken aback when Katie Holmes started sporting what looked like her husband's jeans, pegged and rolled to the ankle. We were sure it was a fluke, but she kept showing up in them, and before long, we stopped being surprised. Heck, we even stopped making faces about it.

When starting a business, we understand that some folks might want to change their last names to avoid being associated with their families -- you know, if they had last names like Manson or Dahmer. But what about political associations? What if you were related to President Bush?

This past Sunday, Usher found himself at the Paris Fashion Week Marlies Dekkers show, but it wasn't just to ogle at the models dressed in the lingerie maker's racy designs. In fact, he was doing research.

"You might have heard that I might be launching a lingerie line for men and women," said Usher, who added, "Comfort and intimacy is very important." He also mentioned that some of his Trading Places video featured some of his own designs.

Usher wasn't the only famous face taking in the Dutch designer's show -- Mischa Barton, Kelly Rowland, and Ne-Yo were also in attendance.

Rachel Zoe's brand just keeps growing. For a while she was nothing more than a name behind a group of well dressed but very skinny celebrities. Then Perez Hilton outed her as the force causing the size negative two trend in Hollywood (because size zero just isn't small enough anymore) and she became a wanted woman. Now, aside from her reality show, The Rachel Zoe Project, premiering in September, Rachel will be coming out with her own line of handbags.

When lingerie is mentioned, Dita von Teese is probably one of the first celeb names to come to mind. And so, it makes perfect sense that she would launch her own lingerie line. After a sneak peek, we're ready to buy!

Just when we thought the celebrity-turned-crappy designer phenomenon had died down, we get this news from our friends across the pond:

Apparently, Desperate Housewives actress Eva Longoria is considering creating a fashion line like her very posh buddy Victoria Beckham. On the prospects of owning her own line, Beckham says: "I would love to design one day. I do not have the time right now but I would love to develop a home line or a clothing line. I am thinking about it."

Hmm, we could stomach a collection of luxe duvets and sheet sets by the petite lady. But frocks? Eh, not so much.

This announcement comes in just a few weeks after we began hearing rumors that The Gloved One, Michael Jackson is working on a fashion line. Now, little sister Janet Jackson wants in on the money making biz too! She's going to be doing her own clothing line.

Beth Ditto has signed on to be the new face of Evans, a fashion plus size retail giant. She'll be designing a line of clothes in the size range of 14-32.

Whit Honea is a slacker, a borderline degenerate, and a daydream believer. He's also our resident expert on casual chic. If it's comfortable, and not heinous, he's all over it. He's quite charming, really, i.e., not jerky at all.

We were concerned about Hot Topic after seeing their latest addition, but then we realized that they still had plenty of other lines available and that most of them are pretty cool- or in the case of our featured shirt, yummy.

Perez Hilton's new "fashion" line at Hot Topic is geared towards his demographic of readers, young, female and cheap. We think it is also safe to assume that they are easily persuaded to buy crap.

In a video interview and vanity session Perez the pot insults the kettle that is pseudo-celebrity. He basically calls out Heidi Montag and Lauren Conrad and claims that his brand smells better. We think they all stink about the same.

What were we expecting from Ashlee Simpson clothing line for Wet Seal? Not too much, to tell the truth. Though coming from humble style beginnings, the dark haired Simpson has turned into a fashionista in her right. But, she was designing for Wet Seal of all places, so from the very beginning the cards were stacked against her.

According to Puma Talk: "Luke Wilson, actor and avid golfer, teamed up with PUMA golf star Johan Edfors to create a special edition range of PUMA Golf products for this spring and summer." The line will launch in April and July, respectively.

Said Wilson, "To work with a brand like PUMA – that has such innovative and versatile product – on a golf line that fits my style and personality has been a real pleasure. We had some real fun with some of the product designs including the Porkpie hat and C-hopper shoe that you can wear on or off the course by just removing the spikes."

Her new clothing line Bindi Wear International, which she started with her mom Terri, features slogans coined by Bindi as well as colors that she helped pick out, much of the work being done during her lunch breaks at school.


I can't believe I wasted my lunch breaks eating. I could have been somebody.

If you think this is it for Bindi, you're sadly mistaken.

"Hopefully maybe I can be president or prime minister."

"In America they are looking for the next president and I've listened to everybody and, nothing against them, but they are talking about jobs, houses, developments, money, money and more money and there is nothing about conservation.

"I haven't heard anything about that. "We really do need to start doing something - we can't eat money in the long run."

She's right. I swallowed a nickel once and it wasn't good,

The reviews are in. The Fergie for Kipling line has released it's Spring '08 collection of handbags and they aren't bad at all. I actually didn't know she had her own line, but for some reason it really doesn't surprise me.

The theme of this season seems to be dice. Each zipper has a little tiny figurine with a cute dice pattern. The colors are bold, bright and daring -- just what you would expect of a Fergie line. I think her fans will really love these bags. They show off the Duchess' true style. The handbags are definitely made for a fashionista who doesn't take herself too seriously. Fergie seems like a celeb who has fun with style and it looks like she really had fun designing these bags.

To give you an idea of the price, the Show Off Red Satchel will run you $108. That's not all that bad! Browse through the gallery to check out the bags. If you decide you want to buy one, you can find them over on EBags!
