Smells Like Teen Fashion – The Hottest Teen Idols and Their Celebrity Fashion Design Labels
Posted by in Teen Fashion on September 28, 2011
You’ve got to love today’s teen idols. They sing. They dance. They act. And they design clothes. They might not have two years of fashion school under their belts, but their legions of fans represent sizable buying power, so it’s inevitable that these celebrities would lend their names to a label. However, even the most popular teen idols don’t necessarily find success with their namesake brands. As with any fashion line, it takes a well-designed, marketable product to be a success. Let’s take a look at ten of the most notable celebrity fashion lines by teen idols, some that have become wildly successful, and some that have fizzled.
Avril Lavigne. Lavigne’s “Abbey Dawn” clothing line for Kohl’s is one of the retailer’s best-selling brands. Her signature pieces include skinny jeans, hoodies, and graphic tees. She even collaborated with Disney for an “Alice in Wonderland” inspired collection, demonstrating the strength of the Abbey Dawn line. One reason the singer’s line is so successful is because she has always been known for her offbeat fashion as much as she has for her music.
Gwen Stefani. Unlike most celebrities who launch fashion labels, Stefani actually has roots in fashion design. She comes from a long line of seamstresses, and she created most of the outfits she wore on stage as No Doubt’s lead singer. It’s no wonder that with this expertise, her “L.A.M.B.” line has become one of the most critically respected and financially successful celebrity brands in history, with sales of more than $90 million a year.

Fashion and Teenagers
Posted by in Teen Fashion on September 28, 2011
The Teenage Years represent the transition period into adulthood. Teens start to develop their independence and unique opinions about life’s issues. The fashion trend has changed quite a bit from the days when Indians set up tents in the United States of America. When it comes to shopping, teens like to choose their own clothes and fashions at this time of their life. Sometimes teens and parents agree which clothes to purchase, sometimes they disagree.
Teenage years may be called “Acne Years”. These years can turn into nightmares which many times continue into adulthood. Many products are available without bringing the desired results. We have the products that will eliminate these nightmares.
Helpful in developing identity
Some teen fashion statements are going to be crazy but they might be bearable. If you come upon something that actually covers them, make sure you give them a good eye roll. That might encourage them to wear that style. You might think it looks funny, but at least they are covered. That should be your main concern. You can lay down the law when you see teen fashion that seems to be too revealing, but you may be encouraging them in that direction.
Though teen fashion comes and goes and you can expect the main purpose of these fashions is to make sure they dress nothing like their parents. Teens have a strong need to set their own style, and figure out what their own identity is aside from their parents. That’s a perfectly normal part of growing up, and if a parent does not roll their eyes just a little when the see teen fashions, those teens are going to be confused and they may try something else. That might be a good thing to keep in mind.
Teens have a greater selection of clothes than ever. From running pants and bottoms and outerwear, juniors styles, and jeans, teen clothing and active wear is a great way to live your youth.
