Lauren Conrad on Style

These days, being just an actress or a singer does not fully satisfy a celebrity’s spotlight requirements, so it’s never a  surprise when a celeb decides to venture outside their Hollywood niche and try their hand at something new. Whether it’s creating a perfume, delving into the music industry, or designing clothes, it seems like being a triple-threat is all the rage.

When celebrities just use their names or pretty faces to promote their new product or career direction in a way that seems authentic, it can really turn us off.

When it comes to fashion, we don’t want to be tricked into buying a celebrity-endorsed clothing line that was not even technically designed by the famous face in the first place. What we want is authenticity, and an aesthetic that grows from something more personal than a just a strong fan following. So how do we decipher which celebrity career extensions are for real?

Trend: National Velvet

Ever since it first appeared in Europe in the 13th century, velvet has connoted regality. England’s King Richard II, for one, requested that he be buried in the cloth; centuries later Queen Elizabeth II wore a six-yard-long coronation robe made of the material. Circa 2010 velvet reigned supreme on the fall runways, where both Giorgio Armani and Alexander Wang went classic with the luxe textile, while Anna Sui took it in an artsy direction with bold patterns. As for accessories, they were a mixed bag of elegance and edge, as in Brian Atwood’s bow-bedecked pump. The designer’s inspirations? “Baroque,” he says, “and a little bit rock ‘n’ roll.”
