Take a minute and think of an idolized figure in the public spotlight. A person may be thinking of a famous actor or actress, reality television star, a popular musician or even a famous model.
Now take a minute and think about what they are really known for. Do they act and now sing? Or do they sing and now act? It seems to be a popular theme among the people we admire to extend their exposure by displaying even more of their "talents."
In addition to acting, signing music contracts and modeling in various advertisements, the newest form of exposure is the production of personal fashion lines.
From Sarah Jessica Parker and Lauren Conrad, to Justin Timberlake and Sean Combs, everyone is doing it. These various fashion lines are taking into consideration the personal interests and style trends of celebrities themselves and making available to their dedicated fans.
Sarah Jessica Parker and Lauren Conrad may not seem to have much in common, but they have each taken their love of fashion to the next level.
Bitten, Parker's fashion line, was inspired by her obvious love of, and addiction to fashion. In collaboration with Steve & Barry's clothing store, Bitten has quickly taken off.
Steve & Barry's is one of America's fastest-growing national mall-based concepts that promises to sell clothing and accessories at the astonishingly low price of twenty dollars or less. After hearing of Steve & Barry's ingenious concept, Parker was hooked and produced a tag line that reads, "Fashion is not a luxury; it's a right."
Bitten is reaching out to Parker's many admirers, giving women of all ages the opportunity to turn their closets into the ones they have fanticized about. Consisting of approximately 500 clothing items and accessories, including knit shirts, wool and cashmere sweaters, dresses, lingerie, jeans, jewelry and footwear, Bitten has everything one needs for a wardrobe makeover.
Appearing in the most recent headlines and the newest participant of this latest trend would be "Laguna Beach's" Lauren Conrad, or as her friends refer to her, "LC."
