Gwen Can Do No Wrong...

Posted Mar 26, 2010

 


This week I’d like to make a tribute to my favorite sexy tomboy singer, songwriter and designer Gwen Stefani, and the success of her L.A.M.B. line of clothing and accessories. Let me start by saying that this was not love at first sight. Gwen is the definition of cool, her unique style is down to a T, and I’ve loved her ever since her early belly bearing No Doubt days, but it took some time for her line to grow on me. Read about it shortly…and find a couple of L.A.M.B.’s signature pieces for sale in our catalog.

Gwen Stefani, previously known as the feisty punk-grunge vocalist of No Doubt, has over the span her career sold over 40 million albums worldwide, making her an incontestable success in the music arena and a modern pop sensation. But as we know from examples of stars digging their heels into things they shouldn’t have, being a hit in one area won’t necessarily make you a hit in another. Gwen proved to be an exception and joined the ranks of wonder-women like J-lo when she launched her L.A.M.B. line of clothing and accessories in 2003.


When the line first appeared on the runways, it wasn’t without its fair share of critics. I myself wasn’t initially drawn to the bold Jamaican color-block and black and white pattered pieces of the earlier collections. However, as the brand refined its identity, it became clear that the pieces were highly versatile everyday “glamazon” wear. You got some of Gwen in every bite, and her shoe and handbag collections just kept on getting more and more delicious. She was named “Most Fashion-Forward Artist” by Vogue Magazine, and in her own words: “It’s so amazing to create something and then put it out into the world and watch people discover it and make it their own. I’m basically sharing a piece of me.” In other words, L.A.M.B is defined by Gwen’s eclectic fashion sense and natural style.


The clothing and accessories are hip, bold, arty, and most importantly fun, fun, fun…with a good twist of flirt. That’s a fabulous cocktail to rock on your arm or wear on your feet. To get a taste of the real deal, see what we wave in treat for you this week…
