Tuesday, December 25, 2007 || Is Lauren Runway Ready?
An IMG Fashion spokesperson has confirmed to PageSix.com that Lauren has inquired about showing her line, the Lauren Conrad Collection, at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in LA in March. But she might have to fight for her right to debut, because Lee Trimble, the Fashion Director of Gen Art, one of the leading platforms for emerging artists, told PageSix.com, “We would absolutely be excited to consider Lauren’s line for inclusion in our fall fashion show.”
And while the powers that be haven't begun the selection process yet, Lauren would be following in some seriously famous footsteps if she were to be accepted.
Zac Posen, one of the most in-demand designers working with young, hot Hollywood today first showed off his clothes at 2001’s Gen Art festival while Jay McCarroll had a Gen Art runway show before going on to win the first season of Project Runway. On the flip side, Jennifer Lopez rocked the runway with her Sweet Face line at debut at Fashion Week in New York in 2005, while Nicky Hilton worked the West Coast when she unveiled her Chick line this year.
And since the selection committees for both organizations plan to hold Lauren’s designs to the same standards regardless of her fame, it’s a good thing she isn't just designing for kicks. "I'm serious about my lines and I do them as a designer and not as someone on a reality show," she said. "I wanted to create a brand that will last longer than my TV series."
Oddly that might be her hardest hurdle to, um, hurdle since The Hills has been picked up for a fourth season and still ranks as one of MTV's most popular programs.
