Not only are celebrities famous for movies and or singing, but they can also be famous for having celebrity fashion lines. There have been many celebrities who have tried their hand at designing, including Jennifer Lopez, Eva Longoria, and Sarah Jessica Parker. Although these ladies all have huge success in their own right, having a fashion line just didn’t work. Below are some of the top earning celebrity fashion lines.
1 Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen, the Row, Elizabeth and James and Olsenboye
Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen are the fashionistas to follow, and have a massive celebrity fashion line. They have 3 successful lines: Olsenboye, a kids fashion line; Elizabeth and James, targeted towards a mid-market; and The Row, a high-end line that includes an $18,000 backpack (which Jessica Biel just purchased). The Olsen twins' fashion empire is now worth a whopping $1 billion. Who knew these two would come from making cheesy (but amazing) TV and movies when kids, to being some of the richest people around?
Frequently asked questions
2 Jessica Simpson, the Jessica Simpson Collection
Jessica Simpson has earned the nickname 'Fashion's Billion Dollar Baby' thanks to her extremely successful line, the Jessica Simpson Collection. Her line includes handbags, shoes, clothing, and accessories and earned a massive $750 million in retail sales in 2010. She’s not just a pretty voice!
3 Jay Z, Rocawear
Since the line hit stores in 1999, Rocawear has become one of the top urban-lifestyle brands out there. Boasting clothing, handbags, hats, belts, jewelry, eyewear, and footwear (and the list goes on), Rocawear's annual sales averages more than $700 million. So not only is Jay king of the music world, he can also wear the crown for having one of the highest earning celebrity clothing lines.
4 P.Diddy, Sean John
P.Diddy's clothing line, Sean John, was founded in 1998. Maybe it won’t be the most in style any more, but it was at one point the coolest thing to wear. Not only can the singer say he has been one of the most successful rappers of our time, he can also say he has had an insanely successful fashion line. In 2004, sales figures hit $250 million for the year!
5 Victoria Beckham, Victoria Beckham Collection
Victoria Beckham has put her Spice Girl days WAY behind her, and she was named 'Designer of the Year' in 2011. Her Victoria Beckham collection sells handbags and dresses ranging from $600 to $6000. In 2011, Victoria's clothing line made an impressive $95 million in sales. Wowza.
6 Gwen Stefani, L.a.M.B
This is my all time favorite celebrity fashion line. The funky prints, out there style and major high heels make up this killer label, all made by the killer girl herself, Gwen. Apart from being a member of one of the biggest bands, No Doubt, Gwen has turned herself into a MAJOR fashion designer with equally as big street cred. The line has brought in an estimated $90 million.
7 Justin Timberlake, William Rast
(The hottest) N'Sync member Justin Timberlake co-founded William Rast with best-friend Trace Ayala back in 2006. Thanks to their well-fitting jeans, their company rakes in an approximate $50 million per year in sales.
I can honestly say, this was a hard list to make, as I wanted to include some other lines like House of Harlow, but truth is, they just didn’t make enough. I love when celebrities make successful fashion lines as it lets you see a different side of them, and lets you know their personal style. Is there a celebrity line that you are obsessed with?
