The Most Successful Celebrity Clothing Lines

These days, it seems like every celebrity who has even made their fifteen minutes of fame is trying their hand at fashion clothing design.  Most companies end up going bust or make their way to the clearance racks before people even really know they existed, but this isn’t always the case.  Here are some of the most successful celebrity clothing lines.

One celebrity clothing line that has seen incredible success is the ‘Phat Farm’ line by music, poetry, and comedy mogul Russell Simmons.  Created years ago, the company is still at the top of the celeb fashion industry, and more importantly, of the fashion industry as a whole. 

The celebrity clothing line owned by Simmon’s now ex-wife Kimora, ‘Baby Phat,’ is equally successful in its offerings for women’s clothing and accessories. ‘Rocawear,’ created by rap superstar Jay-Z, is a similar celebrity clothing line.

While these lines are all successful, it seems that the most successful celebrity clothing lines are typically those that end up in less expensive stores.  Kathy Ireland’s K-Mart clothing line, Miley Cyrus’s Wal-Mart line, and Isaac Mizrahi’s Target line are all incredibly successful, due in large part to the affordability of their clothing.

While the world waits to see the outcome of Madonna’s new line and Beyonce’s house of Derrion tries to make it big in foreign markets, celebrity fashion lines may well be too common.  What was once a niche left only to the talented is now offered to everyone, and success is certainly imminent.
