It’s true: New York Fashion Week is approaching rapidly. If you’re as celebrity obsessed as some of us here, you probably can’t wait to see who turns up in the front row, who gets too drunk at an after party, and most importantly, who’s trying their hand at fashion design this season.
It’s pretty easy to slap your name on just about anything and have it considered a clothing line when you’re a celebrity, but to actually get the chance to showcase your items at New York Fashion Week is another story. Here, we’ve rounded up a slew of stars, ranging from reality stars to full-on fashion royalty, who will be hosting a presentation or a show for their collections this season.
'Real Housewife' Gretchen Rossi will preview her first collection.
The Real Housewives of Orange County star Gretchen Rossi has a new venture on her hands -- fashion design. She's previously designed handbags and shoes, but this is her first foray into a "ready-to-wear" collection. Naturally, her line will be shown at Kiss & Fly in the Meatpacking District at 8:00 PM on Monday, September 10.
Rocker Avril Lavigne is back with a second collection this year.
Avril Lavigne has had a big year. Not only did she get engaged to Nickelback lead singer Chad Kroeger and make Canada weep in bliss, her second collection at New York Fashion Week is fast approaching. The Abbey Dawn Spring 2013 collection will show on September 10 at Metropolitan Pavilion at 6:00 PM. And although she's no longer dating Brody Jenner, his half-sister Kylie Jenner will be walking in the show as she did last season. Expect slightly more upscale Hot Topic duds. Haute Topic! Am I brilliant or what?
Bravo's Rachel Zoe will showcase her line at Lincoln Center.
While she did originally come to prominence for being the skinny stylist friend of Nicole Richie, many fell in love with Rachel Zoe on her Bravo reality show The Rachel Zoe Project. She's finally an established designer, with her show taking place at 1:00 PM on September 12 in the Studio at Lincoln Center. Expect 1970s inspired duds, as Rachel seems to be perpetually dressing Bianca Jagger in her mind.
