Someone had to say it...

Gwen Stefani, Victoria Beckham and Nicole Richie, all celeb turned designers

I've followed her work on my small local paper, the Washington Post for a while and last Friday at an appearance at the School of the Art Institute in Chicago, Robin Givhan was true to her character when commenting on the actor turned designer trend:

"I can’t imagine Donna Karan saying I’m going to cut an album because her friends say she can sing karaoke"

She also noted that though most of these ventures are not doing so well, the trend exists because people will always buy things associated with celebrities.
