Rachel Bilson Designing For DKNY
Rachel Bilson has designed a clothing range for DKNY. The “Jumper” actress is co-designing for the Donna Karan New York Jeans Junior’s brand, which will be released in stores by fall this year.
The clothes collection will be called Edie Rose, named after the 26-year-old former “The O.C.” star’s grandmother Edie and a close family friend named Rose. Bilson claims the two women inspired her when she was growing up.
The collection will include sweaters, t-shirts, coats, and jeans.
Bilson says, “I have been passionate about beginning my own collection for some time now. Working with DKNY Jeans, a brand with similar demographics in terms of who I wanted to design for and similar aesthetics, has been really magical. They completely brought all my ideas and designs to life and have been so helpful and supportive with my vision.”
The actress adds to Women’s Wear Daily saying, “I want people to see these clothes for what they are, not just another line designed by another celebrity. I want the line to be taken seriously.”
