Celebrity Fashion Lines That Actually Work

Celebrities don't mind the odd fashion gig here-and-there... Or even the Faux Creative Director title often assigned by a fashion house - can you say 'Lindsay Lohan'? But some celebrities actually have a successful fashion business. Here are three such ladies, all with one thing in common, their fashion lines are modelled pretty closely off their own style aesthetics.

Victoria Beckham

The ex-Spice Girl has made a huge splash in the fashion pool since the debut of the Victoria Beckham fashion brand in 2008.

Dannii Minogue

The Aussie popstar turned all-round British Entertainment Queen started the Project D fashion label last year with her good friend and London designer Tabitha Somerset Web. See Dannii's style documentary on the Project D launch here.

Gwen Stefani

The ultimate Westwood-esque punk fashionista, Gwen debuted her fashion label, L.A.M.B, on the runway in 2004.

Dannii Minogue - Style Queen Finale

Fucking amazing ending to the three-part series!

I'm not usually a reality TV type of person, but I'm a real Minogue whore; and Dannii plus fashion equals my kind o' show!

If you missed the first two episodes, direct your blasphemous ass over here.

Dannii Minogue - Style Queen Episode Two

This show is my new obsession!

Episode two gives a glipse into the world of a brand new fashion house; and it's really interesting to see the internal underpinnings involved in launching a new label and actually getting people to buy it!

I think Dannii is so right in saying that the fragrance lines of major fashion labels often fund the couture. It's sad but true. It's also a little ironic that fashion houses spend so much time designing new collections when they just play second fiddle in the money game to the fragrances which can take so much less time to create and produce.

Makes you realise how lucky we are to have such passionate designers who will never stop making clothes!

Dannii also shoots a new campaign for M&S and meets up with her superstar sister Kylie for the Elle style awards.

Dannii Minogue - Style Queen

Australia's second most stylish resident (after me, of course!), Miss Dannii Minogue, has had her debut reality TV show air on the UK's ITV channel.

Reality TV and fashion. I know what you're thinking - but you're wrong! This isn't another trashed-up-barely-style-related 'bankable production' to add to Tyra's ever-expanding empire. The show follows Dannii as she develops her first fashion collection under the Project D label with bag designer Tabitha.

A bit of fast-paced, convertible rolling, jet setting, my-life-is-more-exciting-than-yours reality television never hurt anybody, anyway.

Fun fact: My profile pic (on the right -->) is a sketch by Jean Paul Gaultier for Dannii's big sister Kylie Minogue! Kylie wore custom-made Gaultier for her North American tour a few years back.
