NY Fashion Week Spring ’08. Celeb Lines: Made For The Stars. Second City Style Fashion Blog

Why do celebs think they can dress us when they can’t even
dress themselves?

Ok, so maybe we’re not talking about Sienna Miller or Kiera
Knightley who have sworn by the holy heavens that they pick out their own
clothes (and yes, we love Sienna’s wild vibe and the fact that Kiera shops at Kate
Moss’s chic UK label Topshop) but for the most part, celebs have been
notorious for hiring personal stylists to cater to
their every style whim.

Why then, do they think they can hold a candle to designer
experts like Donna Karan, Tommy Hilfiger, Anne Klein, Heatherette, Reem
Acra, Zac Posen or Proenza Schouler?

This year, NY Fashion Week showcased spring designs from
celebs like:

L.A.M.B. (Gwen Stefani)

Baby Phat by Kimora Lee Simmons

Nicholai by Nicky Hilton

Just Sweet (Jennifer Lopez)

Were the designs good? Well, it’s the stuff only superstars
can wear.

What do I mean?

While its pretty normal to see style seekers sporting frocks
from Diane von Furstenberg or sporty spring suits from Tommy Hilfiger and Ralph
Lauren, we’re pretty sure only attention-seeking celebs can pull off the Gwen
Stefani’s black and white houndstooth, Jennifer Lopez’s washed out pastels by Jennifer
Lopez, Nicky Hilton’s Malibu Barbie chic short shorts, and Kimora Lee’s chaotic colorful Baby Phat beach wardrobe.

Did celeb designers fug up Fashion Week? Maybe not entirely. But we think they should stick to their day jobs — wearing the Haute Couture instead of making it.
