Going back to school in the fall always calls for a few new
additions to our wardrobes. This year, we’re thinking of something more
fierce than just a new t-shirt or jeans —
we’re loving Beyoncé’s new fashion line, Sasha Fierce for
Deréon!
Beyoncé and her mom, Tina Knowles, are launching this new label
for back-to-school styles. The collection includes sportswear,
outerwear, handbags, shoes, sunglasses, jewelry, and even lingerie!
Some of the clothing and accessories will be funky and
hip-hop-inspired, while other items will be more cute and girly. Some
of the pieces we’ve heard about are one-shouldered dresses, fake
leather jackets, and distressed jeans with mesh and lace detailing.
Plus, you won’t go broke — her new line will be available at
Macy’s and Dillard’s!
“People my age love fashion and want to dress in designer clothes, but can’t afford it,” Beyoncé told Women’s Wear Daily.
“I want to do something that is affordable, but sophisticated and sexy
and feminine — something I would wear.” Hmm, maybe if we wear Beyoncé’s
clothes, we’ll pick up her awesome singing and dancing skills, too!
