It would seem that Jumper is not the only thing Rachel Bilson is jumping into these days. She can now add celebrity clothing designer and spokesmodel to her resume. It has been well over a year since the end of her series, the O.C., but this stylish celeb’s clothing creed and projects continue to grow and be as varied as her clothing choices.
She is known for mixing things up in her wardrobe choices, so rightly so that her line, Edie Rose, in collaboration with DKNY, reflects this part of her persona. The vintage-inspired 15-piece collection is comprised of a sporty mix of button-down tops, jackets, tees, sweaters, dresses and two styles of jeans — a straight leg pair and a skinny leg pair, both styles that Ms. Bilson has often been photographed in. The line, made up of a mostly black and white palette with touches of bold color, is a different direction for DKNY, which usually has a more grunge, relaxed, urban feel.
However Ms. Bilson's creative role does not stop at helping to design the line, oh no. She mixed her youthful and authentic way of putting together outfits to help style the clothes for the shoot along with stylist Tabitha Simmons and will serve as the brand's spokesmodel. The collection will be in stores in time for back-to-school and will be sold at Macy's, Dillard's and Bon Ton in the junior's department.
Well, I guess if you wear clothes well, actually have an eye for clothes and putting them together, can get a major brand to invest in a label with you, that isn’t a bad way to pass the time in between movie projects, no?
