Katie Holmes Cruise [does she even go by that?] is the latest addition to the rapidly growing list of actor/model/musician-turned-fashion designers… God save us. “Kate” has had quite the busy few years. Since 2006 she has taken on motherhood, married her childhood crush, accepted Scientology, and now she will start her very own fashion line. I honestly can’t decide which of these decisions I think is the most questionable. But Oprah’s couch aside, let’s focus on fashion:

The girl from The Creek with the killer crooked smile became a fashionista extraordinaire right around the time that she started getting a reported $3 million per year of marriage, and $25 million per child she births for Tom. This financial thing is purely speculative, but her move to couture fashion in 2006 is legit, and documented in photographs. Last year, Katie teamed up with her stylist Jeanne Yang to design a dress for the premiere of ‘Tropic Thunder’. Seen above-left in the picture where it looks like she threw shades and a jacket on her teenage brother and brought him to the movie for juju bees and popcorn… Katie’s first piece was a silk halter dress with a tiered bodice out of black leather. Interesting and unique – great fit – looked great. Most recently, Kate and Jeanne collaborated on a white strapless silk jumpsuit with a black long sleeved sheer lace top underneath, which Katie wore to her Broadway premiere of All My Sons. The retro Chanel-style look is said to be indicative of the line she is planning to release this fall, and it looks great on her tall, slender frame.
The line, which is yet to be named, will reportedly include styles for women as well as children. Holmes has said that the inspiration comes from baby Suri and Yang’s two little girls, thought it’s unknown how much of the collection will be directed at children. It is believed that the line will be sold exclusively at the very high-end and overpriced boutique store on Melrose Ave. in Los Angeles.
