The actual clothes will be available on the 16th of August, but Amanda Bynes hosted the launch party for her DEAR clothing line yesterday, at Sushi Samba in New York. Yes, sigh, another mish mash of clothes by another starlet-turned-designer, backed by another conglomerate retail store. The concept behind the clothes - cheap, wearable staples endorsed by a celeb who swears she was a part of every step of the creative process - is the same as that behind the Sarah Jessica Parker BITTEN line.
And just like BITTEN, DEAR consists of kinda boring basics that look only slightly more interesting when professionally layered for photoshoots.
Amanda is cute and all, however I personally don't feel like paying $2 more for the same basics I could find at Forever 21, just because a famous name is attached to the label.
Check out the whole line here: DEAR by Amanda Bynes for Steve & Barry's.
