The Hollywood actress and mom Katie Holmes, who has posed for Italian design house Miu Miu for Spring 2009 ads, said she is working on the outfits line for kids with her stylist Jeanne Yang and is inspired by her daughter Suri.
My friend Jeanne Yang and I have been working together for this collection. We started about a year ago, sketching different things, trying to find comfortable clothing for our daughters. The designs are pretty as well as cute,” 30-year-old actress said.
We both grew up with mothers who sewed, we just started, and we’ve played around with doing things for women as well.” she added.
A collection for older children will follow in autumn 2009.
Also, Mrs. Cruise teamed up with popular brand Armani. According to OK Magazine she has signed a deal to launch her own fashion line, Katie Holmes for Armani. It’s the first time a fashion house had a label affiliation with a non-professional designer.
A source said:
“Right now this is Katie’s life. She is extremely excited about it.
The first clothes will all be things she could imagine Suri wearing.”
The source added:
“The Katie Holmes for Armani collection will be comparable in price to the Armani ready-to-wear line.”
“It will be sold in stores like Saks, Barneys New York and Neiman Marcus. We’re talking very upscale: less expensive than Armani Prive but more than Armani Exchange. These are going to be very high-quality clothes
Speaking about her acting future:
“Katie’s dedication to fashion does not mean she’s given up her acting career.
“She definitely wants to continue with that too, but right now this is her priority.”
The handbag line and a women’s collection for Armani will be presented for fall of 2010.
