The celebrity designer wheel keeps on turning. The latest star to join the club is Gossip Girl Michelle Trachtenberg. She is teaming up with Coach to design a costume jewelry line under its Poppy label — faux pearls and colorful crystals hit stores in the Spring.
Though there isn't an official deal in the works, Super Claudia Schiffer has also expressed interest in designing. "I have no definite first product in mind, but I would love to do cashmere. It's something I wear all the time myself, but I'd love to do something a bit more price-friendly. . . . Or I could imagine doing handbags," she said. Cool, but not everyone is thrilled with these celebrity designer deals. According to fashion writer Robin Givhan, "I can't imagine Donna Karan saying I'm going to cut an album because her friends say she can sing karaoke." Ouch. Do you agree?

Yeah Claudia Schiffer is one thing, but Michelle what's-her-name? Really?
Faux pearls and colorful crystals...sounds great already.
1As much as I hate all the stupid "celebrity" "designers;" mainly just because they culture the idolization and worship of people who do nothing but entertain; just because a person is famous for one thing doesn't mean they can't actually be legitimately talented at something else. I would never buy something just because someone famous "designed" it; I also wouldn't disregard it because of their fame. If Donna Karen cut a cd and it was actually good; I would buy it - haha!
2I'm intrigued about both of these ventures; I love both women in their respective fields and they seem to have good taste in fashion, etc.; so I would be curious to see what they each would come up with...
