Hilary Duff Designs for DKNY Jeans

The economy may be in recession, but the fashion industry is absolutely bullish about celebrity clothing lines. The latest star to hop on the fashion bandwagon is Hilary Duff. The actress/singer/fashionista(?) is teaming up with iconic New York label DKNY Jeans to create a fall "collection of special pieces."

According to a DKNY Jeans press release, the line, called Femme for DKNY Jeans, will feature "sweater tunics with removable cowl scarves, tees with detachable and printed necklaces, charmeuse cozies that layer like scarves, [and] skinny jeans with adjustable belt loops for thin or wide belts." Although I'm not really into the idea of detachable necklaces, I love the adjustable belt loops!

Regardless, the big question is: Will anyone be able to afford celebrity designer clothes during these tough times? Perhaps. Duff's items will start at a reasonable $39 and go up to $129. Not exactly Target prices, but pretty good for a fashion label.

Based on Hilary's style, the collection could be fabulously fashion-casual or totally "what was she thinking?!" I can't wait to see the final result!
