Even when Gwen Stefani first announced she was going to launch a fashion line in 2005 I was sure it would be special. Now, seven years later, we can say with confidence she is both an outstanding singer and a talented designer. Her fashion line L.A.M.B. is very popular with customers and every season includes more and more interesting pieces which as Gwen once states are her ‘dream wardrobe’.

L.A.M.B. Spring/ Summer 2012 collection is a combination of brutal and delicate fashion, femininity and sexuality. Men’s element was strong. It felt in slouchy jumpsuits, cropped, wide-leg trousers, straight-line shorts and V-neck sweaters.

There was also a lot of femininity in L.A.M.B. Spring/ Summer 2012 collection. Puff mini skirts, sexy loose dresses, and tight-fitting ruched blouses looked fantastic.

Accessories played a great role in finishing the looks. Oversize bags and high heels provided the right amount of color. Knee-length socks added girlieness while metallic cuffs and necklaces completed the picture.

Singer-turned-designer Avril Lavigne and her label Abbey Dawn will show off their skater clothing line at New York Fashion Week in September. As the brand is going for expansion the line that only made T-shirts and accessories will include now dresses, denim, skirts, bags, eyewear, footwear, etc. Of course the line is expected to bear Avril Lavigne‘s signature style which includes graffiti prints, skulls, lots of pink, and sporty wear.

Avril Lavigne and Abbey Dawn will also present a full menswear collection at Style 360-Metropolitan Pavilion on September 12.

In other news pop icon-designer Gwen Stefani reportedly may be absent from her own labels’ show this Fashion Week due to more pressing matters. L.A.M.B. spokesperson said the decision is yet to be made but the star has a too busy schedule. It was also announced that Gwen Stefani is to team up with Target to create an affordable clothing line called “Harajuku Mini” for children and teens.

Harajuku Mini is a dream come true. I’ve always wanted to do a cool children’s fashion line inspired by the supercute and playful kid’s clothing you find in Japan. The whole idea is about being creative, expressing your own individuality and having fun getting dressed. Target has given me the creative freedom to design kid’s clothing that is different than most anything you usually see out there with great quality, attention to detail and most of all, available at amazing prices.

Non-surprisingly Lady Gaga is to launch her own fashion line or “wearable” designs with her younger sister Natali Germanotta, 19 who has finished a first year of study at Parsons, The New School for Design, NY and has also appeared in Gaga’s Telephone video featuring Beyonce. Natali Germanotta is described as “even edgier” than her sister

Gaga came up with the idea of remodelling the styles of classic icons from the past, for example Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly and Katharine Hepburn.

Natali loved the idea and she’s coming up with a slew of design options but, of course, everything will have their own iconic twist on it,

a source told Grazia magazine. Though the news are unofficial there are already hints on how the collection will look like. Iconic Marilyn Monroe dress is said to be in rubber version while Audrey Hepburn’s black iconic dress will reportedly feature a plunging neck.

I’m very vain. That would be my middle name. Of course I am, you know what I mean? I love the visual.”

Gwen Stefani covers the Elle ‘Women in Music’ issue wearing a stylish stretch wool dress from Givenchy collection. There are a few other photos of the 41-year-old singer and fashion designer in the edition. My favorite is the one with Gwen sporting a black-and-white dress.

Gwen Stefani also shared about her family achievement:

The first time we ever kissed was right around Valentine’s Day. We were in New Orleans on tour. So, yeah, I always think about that because it’s unbelievable that we’ve been able to stay together. I feel so proud of us. It’s one of my biggest achievements.”

Gwen Stefani is sometimes compared with Lady Gaga and Katy Perry in terms of style but the singer says they don’t have anything in common and insists she isn’t after sex-symbol thing as the girls are:

I don’t see myself in those girls. I usually put pants on. I see these girls as more going for the sex-symbol thing. I was more, in the band, like a tomboy. Of course, I think every girl is sexy, so there’s going to be a little of that. But I see a lot of younger artists going more toward the sexy thing.”

In the interview for UK Elle Gwen Stefani shares about passion that motivates her, L.A.M.B. collection, secrets that help her maintain her body, her marriage and other no less interesting things.

Gwen Stefani on sexiness: “There are certain artists I think I like, but then all of a sudden the clothes come off and I’m like, ‘What are you talking about? You’ve gotta save that!’ I have this real masculine-feminine thing; I’m not really that sexy – I get all made up and then I like to be a tough girl. I didn’t even wear high heels till I was in my thirties! To me, [stripping off] is so boring. Not to say that I don’t think a sexy picture can’t be beautiful.”

Gwen Stefani on passion that motivates her: “I think of myself as really lazy. My ideal day would be to never get out of bed. No one can force me to do something unless I’m passionate about it.”

Gwen Stefani on Gwen her L.A.M.B. fashion line: “I’m not even close to being where I want it to be yet. [Fashion] is very, very hard to do well, but I’m learning. I’m getting to the point where the last collection we did was a disaster until two weeks before – I had to fly to Montreal and review the whole collection – and it ended up being one of the most cohesive collections we’d ever done.”

Gwen Stefani on secrets that help her maintain a toned body: “It’s a daily struggle. I work out five days a week. I can’t imagine not doing it. I’d like to have no rules and eat what I want, but I’ve learned over the years that I’m so disappointed when I can’t wear the clothes I want to wear.”

Gwen Stefani on wearing makeup every single day: ‘I wear make-up every single day; I like to wear make-up for Gavin and I don’t feel energized till I’ve put it on, then I’m ready to go.”

Gwen Stefani on her favorite video outfit: “I love the older stuff – the polka-dot dress in Don’t Speak. I’d had it for years before I wore it in the video. I’d bought it on the road and it had this musty smell that you couldn’t get rid of. And I love the tennis bra in Just a Girl – I get sentimental about those clothes.”

Gwen Stefani on happy family life: “I’ve been with Gavin for 14 years, and, let’s face it, that is a huge accomplishment. I feel so proud of that – it hasn’t been the easiest journey.”

1. Victoria Beckham. She has never been a good singer or performer so we all heaved a sigh of relief when she left the stage and occupied herself with designing. Her first attempts can hardly be called successful. She was criticized and named mediocre but thanks God she didn’t quit.

And now she presents her fabulous collections together with fashion moguls like Marc Jacobs, Diane von Furstenberg and Oscar de la Renta. She doesn’t consider herself a professional though and says she still has a lot to learn.

2. Gwen Stefani. She is a fantastic singer but she has always been notable for her outfits as well. Very attractive and sexy her style has been imitated by her fans and even fellow celebrities. And who could think she was the person behind those looks.

Since an early age Gwen Stefani has been remaking her dresses and other clothing pieces in order to look more modern and polished. When she felt she wanted this on a bigger scale she started L.A.M.B. fashion line, which is now loved by millions. Gwen isn’t going to stop on what she’s already achieved. She longs for more and we can only encourage her.

3. Jessica Simpson. She’s built a fashion empire worth a billion dollars but couldn’t develop her own style. She designs wonderful pieces but dresses like a slob. We don’t know what her problem is but we do know Jessica is good at designing, much better than in singing and probably this is why she is focused on fashion now.

She has said the secret of her success in fashion industry is that she creates things for real women, not for celebrities, because real women often can’t look like celebrities no matter how much they aspire to it.

4. Justin Timberlake. No one could expect that Justin would become a fashion designer but in 2006 he teamed up with a friend Trace Ayala and the two launched William Rast label.

Since then on every season the duo have presented their ranges that are a big success with Timberlake’s fans and fashionistas all over the world.

5. Jennifer Lopez. She launched her first fashion line in 2003 and since then a few more ranges were presented to public. However, her fame of a singer overshadows the popularity of her fashion designs. But while Jennifer hasn’t succeeded in selling her clothes she has made good money on perfume. People love her fragrances and each year she sells loads of bottles.

This list could also include such stars as Madonna, Dannii Minogue, Beth Ditto and others but I want to stop here because the five mentioned above have made a lot and they really deserve being named the best.

You must know majority of celebrity shopaholics I’m going to talk about but you might not be aware of the extent their shopping obsession has developed to.

#1 Celebrity Shopaholic on my list is Katie Holmes, woman whose shopping sprees are discussed almost daily. What is interesting is that she doesn’t spend that much on herself. She buys clothing, shoes and accessories for her little daughter Suri, who is just 4 years old. The wardrobe of this girl is already estimated $3 million but her mother isn’t going to stop.

#2 Celebrity Shopaholic – Britney Spears. The singer says shopping helps her get rid of depression. She simply enters the shop and buys everything she likes, for example seven pairs of Gucci shoes. Her favorite fashion brands are Bebe, Armani Exchange, and Rampage. From time to time she raids The Gap for cheaper items. But no matter where she shops she enjoys the process!

She once said:

I can be in the dump of dumpsters and go buy a pair of new shoes, and then it’s okay. Even if it’s just for the time being, for that moment it’s what I need.”

#3 Celebrity Shopaholic is Victoria Beckham. Of course I couldn’t miss the woman who spends around $150,000 a year on her wardrobe. Despite the fact she is a successful designer herself now Victoria still buys lots of pieces that were created by other couturiers. And these aren’t only clothes, but also numerous bags (including over 30 Birkin bags!!!), sky-high heels, hats and jewelry.

Victoria says about her obsession:

I can’t help it. When I see something I like, I buy it in every color and I buy shoes in every color to match, as well as handbags. If I could, I’d go shopping every single day. I’m definitely a shopaholic.”

#4 Celebrity Shopaholic – Paris Hilton. This girl has told the public a few times that she never wears the same clothing twice. So, just imagine how many pieces she needs to always wear new things. The socialite is rumored to spend an average of 25-30 hours a week buying clothes and accessories.

#5 Celebrity Shopaholic is Cameron Diaz who buys things, drives those home and then doesn’t open the bags for weeks. Some of the garments she purchases she never wears. She just likes the process. But Cameron feels it right to add new items to her wardrobe again and again. She says:

Frequent shopping sprees is the way to keep stocked. A woman can never have enough.”

#6 Celebrity Shopaholic – Celine Dion who always drives her rolls-royce to shops because it has a roomy boot. Her secret (now it’s not a secret anymore!!!) obsession is shoes. Her collection includes 3000 pairs that means in theory she can change her footwear 8 times a day!!!

#7 Celebrity Shopaholic is infamous Lindsay Lohan. This girl has problems not only with drugs, alcohol and driving but also with shopping. She definitely loves it more than lots of other things in life. She once spent $20,000 in 20 minutes.

#8 Celebrity Shopaholic - Jennifer Lopez. The star admits she can’t stop when it comes to buying shoes and clothes.

She said:

I’m a little bit of a shopaholic. I don’t have to call the hotline or anything, but I definitely enjoy it. My biggest extravagance is probably shoes and clothes. I’m over the top with it but I love shopping for clothes, (and) trying on different outfits.”

Sometimes the diva doesn’t buy anything but keeps on trying on new and new outfits. She explains her behavior:

If you’re a woman and you have a few curves it’s a great feeling to put on a dress that makes you feel attractive.”

#9 Celebrity Shopaholic is Sarah Jessica Parker. Probably it was her Sex and the City character Carry Bradshaw that somehow influenced the actress but most likely shopaholic disease has always been in her. Sarah claims she tries to be careful with her money, however, she does have a weak point – shoes. The star dates her shoe obsession to her childhood when her mother couldn’t afford buying Sarah more than two pairs of shoes a year. Now she has about 100 pairs of shoes that range in price from $300 to $1,000.

She said:

I have far too many shoes – I mean really, really, really too many shoes. I’ve been wearing Manolo Blahniks for 16, 17 years. I’m not proud of my habit, but it’s what I do with my disposable income. I can run a marathon, I can jump puddles, I can do anything in heels – the higher, the better.”

#10 Celebrity Shopaholic – Gwen Stefani. Gwen is not a shopaholic in a typical sense of this word. She doesn’t spend millions on clothing. Instead, she shops in second-hand stores and buys things she can alter for herself.

She explained:

I always loved shopping and making up my own outfits. When I was young and my mom said ‘”let’s go to the mall” I always said “Can’t I just have a hundred dollars and go to the thrift store?” You get really cool stuff. I would buy the clothes and then alter everything because we had a sewing machine. My bedroom was always the room you didn’t go into unless you wanted to get pins stuck in your foot. I was always doing projects and making my own clothes.”

But sometimes Gwen Stefani acts like a normal shopaholic and buys designer stuff. She especially likes Vivienne Westwood’s designs:

When I’m in London I act the way people think I am supposed to act as a star. I splurge on Vivienne Westwood’s clothes and come home with bags full of her stuff. I’ll buy whatever I can because I love her clothes and they fit me really well.”

This list can go on and on but I think it will be wise to stop here and say that you shouldn’t admire passion for shopping because unless you a star with huge annual income you can hardly afford lots of things you’d like to buy. Think reasonably before you pay your money for just another skirt or a pair of shoes. Maybe tomorrow you’ll have to live on coffee.

The prints look great but they are obviously not easy to incorporate into an outfit. Gwen Stefani said backstage that her “prints are really hard to do and really hard to wear.” However, even if it was really hard to work with prints Gwen Stefani did that perfectly.

Youthful style of L.A.M.B. Spring/ Summer 2011 is seen through a number of denim outfits, hotpants, wide cropped trousers and loose shapeless tops. The shoes were ideal to complement the garments and bags looked interesting as well.

She said:

He has such great style. I get ideas from a lot of his clothes for the women’s clothing line, because I like that kind of mixture. I use a lot of stuff in his closet. I’ll be, like, ‘Ooh, we should do a girl version of this!’ “

Fashin has been interesting for Gwen since she was a little girl.

She said:

It’s been the same my whole life. I made so many clothes growing up and I used to do my own costumes. Fashion gets me so excited.”

And now when she has her own clothing line she tries to design things that she would like to wear herself.

She told Britain’s InStyle magazine:

I wanted to make a collection I was really going to wear. I was into grey, black and white, with just touches of colour, like yellow here and there. And a lot of drapery and slouchy stuff and some tailoring – and looks that were a bit 80s, but also modern. It’s about what I would wear, to be honest. It’s very selfish!”
