Celebrities seem to be doing it all the time setting up designer clothes ranges from LL Cool J selling a full range of designer clothes in Sears to Victoria Beckham and her designer jeans.  It keeps them in the papers I suppose, now Katie Holmes famous for, now let me see what is she famous for, Dawsons Creek and marrying Mr. Tom Cruise.

Mrs Tom Cruise is launching a new range of designer denims what it consists of at the moment is a secret but will probably be women’s and men’s jeans.  Recently she has been photographed many times wearing Tom’s jeans - boyfriend style rolled up and belted and now she is launching her own range.

She is working with Neiman Marcus and they have apparently said that they ”love the fact that Katie gets so much publicity” and this is the reason that they commissioned her to design a couture line.

Now in the past Mrs Beckham and Mrs Cruise were great friends but reportedly now they are not!  A falling out possibly.  Mrs Beckham also has her own range of designer jeans on sale in Saks and also online and we all know them from her distinctive crown logo on the back pocket.

My questions would be does she design them or does she just put her name to the range? does she know how to cut a pattern and grade it I am sure she does not! (could be wrong on that one! ) but I don’t think so.  Celebrities put their names to products as it is all publicity and sometimes I think that it is wrong that an item sells because of which celebrity has their name on it.   What do you think?
