Why Celebrity Goes Designer

And here I was, day after day, wondering how far and how many more from the celebrity lines will join the designer ranks…

Now I know why there’s hardly a day passing by without a new fragrance by an actor/singer, a new furniture or home decoration signed by a songbird or big/small screen star, and of course, a new line of clothing, a new collection of something signed by one of our beloved celebrities.

Here’s Tom Ford’s moment of wisdom without moderation at the CFDA gala where he won the Menswear Award:

“I used to be an actor before I was a designer – I was never a good actor as you saw, which is why I became a fashion designer. But it was fun.”

Sooo, taking things logically – if you’re bad at what you do, forget acting, dancing and singing and go designer! At least you gave it a try!
