Actress Michael Michele Launches Fashion Line

Tuesday Dec 27, 2011 – by

Actress Michael Michele of New York Undercover and New Jack City fame has taken a detour from acting to start her own fashion line. M.Michele Designs debuted at Midwest Fashion Week and revolves around the idea that “beautiful fashion shouldn’t be ‘exclusive.’” She recently talked about the upcoming line during an interview with Gayle King, explaining that fashion is truly her first love and that in spite of her fashion plate figure her goal is to design for women of all shapes and sizes.

From Shadow & Act:

“Originally when I started it was kind of up to a 16 and I designed something really beautiful for my mom who is a 16 and people really gravitated to that, so I’m going to do it from you know from 2′s, 4′s, all the way up to 3x and the challenge has been, how can I really create something beautiful for all women? That’s really what really inspires me. I mean there’s not a lot to do if you’re just trying to dress people like myself there’s really no challenge in that. Do you know what I’m saying? I don’t mean that in an ostentatious way, but creatively for me to be able to speak to all women is what really inspires me, so I’m very excited about that now.”

Although the items aren’t yet for sale or priced, the collection definitely has a range of options that defy body type and age group. You can view M.Michele Designs here.

What do you think of Michael Michele’s line? Would you wear it?

    Her line is MAD regular. I would DEFINITELY rock her pieces, but I don’t see stellar creativity in her pieces. None of them are giving me life. I do LOVE the silk HABUTAI outfit!!!!

    Note to celebrity “designers” -please please respect the art! African Mami can launch a clothing company, but to call oneself a designer distresses my soul immensly because I see no heart in most of your creations!

      I agree. The clothes do seem very wearable tho. She can do a line at Wal-mart, lol (not knocking Walmart).

    are we again providing employment to asians?

    i’ll get excited when i see something made by black people.

    That white skirt at that length will look DREADFUL on anyone under 5’9″. Her key point is that “fashion shouldn’t be ‘exclusive’”. I take that to mean this line will probably be carried by Kohl’s, Sears or JC Penney. There is NOTHING wrong with these retailers at all. The pieces seem to be really basic though. There could have been at least one statement piece.

    I liked the pieces, but they really looked more like things she was modeling from her own closet instead of things that are designed for sale. Sad to say I wasn’t wowed. I hope her venture is successful. Good Luck M.Michele!

    A great starting point..I like her pieces :)

    Very ’80s and ’90s inspired line. I wish she had more experienced models (fashion show on the website). Looking at the pieces I like that most of them are solid colors and simple designs. Problem is, it looks like I could sew those designs myself. Nothing jumps out and grabs my eyes!

    I agree, great starting point. I wish you much success.
