Would You Choose Celebrity Style?

It seems that every celebrity has a side project, or perhaps more appropriately a side product. Not content with being a one trick pony, today’s celebrity wants to do more than just sing, dance or act which is why shops are now inundated with celebrity product endorsements. Once a celebrity adds their name to a line of clothing, perfume or even a type of food, chances are the sales will skyrocket as fans clamber to get another piece of their idol. It is hard to ignore the huge billboards and magazine articles announcing the latest collaboration between a celebrity and a brand, step into any retail store and you are bound to see at least one familiar face looming over you or jumping off a clothing tag. In the world of celebrity endorsements there are some areas that really do make sense and others that unfortunately, do not. Here are our top picks of the celebrity product name drops.

Sports personalities have become much more than just players and are now celebrities in their own right. The Beckham brand is one of the most popular choices for those looking to emulate the lifestyle to the golden couple themselves, with perfumes, clothing and most recently collaboration with a high store to produce a line of mens underwear. Dutch footballing sensation Johan Cruyff also has his own line of sportswear that offers both style and practicality; by teaming up with an Italian designer in the 80s he was able to produce a line that is still popular to this day.

Fashion lovers queued for hours for the launch of the Kate Moss for Topshop clothing range. The supermodel put her name to a number of pieces that were sold by the high street store including a number of party dresses and the standard rock chick leather jackets and pants. Not to be outdone, Gossip front woman Beth Ditto also launched her own high street range of plus size fashion. Staying true to form, the eccentric singer ensured that each piece reflected her own unique style and not the stereotypical fashion created for the curvier lady.

Celebrity endorsements are the perfect choice for those looking to follow their idols however it is important to make sure that the celebrity that you choose actually cares about what they are creating. Keep your eyes peeled for upcoming collaborations and you may find new quality pieces for your wardrobe!
