I mean, who doesn't have a fashion line these days?
Kristin is teaming up with North Carolina-based department-store chain Belk Inc. to create a women's line.
Dresses, denim, sporty separates, sleepwear and handbags designed by Kristin, priced between $38 and $240, will be available at 126 of Belk's 307 locations throughout the southeastern U.S., with plans to expand into more locations next spring, and via Belk.com.
Says Kristin in a statement:
"The only way I would have done a line of clothing is to do it at Belk. I feel like I understand what the Southern woman wants to wear—it's influenced my personal style so much growing up in the South."
Okay, at least she's going to be pricing her items on the higher end of the spectrum. I mean, has anyone actually tried to wear Sarah Jessica Parker's Bitten line? It's dirt-cheap, and the pieces seem stylish, but you get what you pay for: every time I try on something from her line, it hangs terribly on me. And I don't have a particularly difficult body to fit; I'm pretty standard fare. It shouldn't be difficult to make clothes that fit me properly, and yet everything from Bitten just looks awful when I put it on. Has anyone else had better luck?
