December 27, 2005 – Celebrities continued to unleash their sartorial visions on the world this year, and while they run the gamut from David Beckham’s soccer shoes to Jennifer Lopez’s line of “fashions”, we’ll highlight a few of the more unusual and unexpected for you.

Our hands down favorite for 2005, the one that left us slack jawed, if not drooling, was Carlos Santana’s line of ladies' footwear, “Carlos by Carlos Santana”. You may consider yourself a fashionista, but did you catch the collection’s runway show at Macy’s in June? We thought not. Cancel your subscription to Vogue, slob. Anyway, after more than 30 years in the music business and several Grammy awards, it’s natural that people would want to wear shoes by Carlos Santana.

After spending his youth singing with ‘NSYNC, a few years sopping up Britney Spears’ flawless fashion sense and making several movies, the world was panting for Justin Timberlake’s line of clothing. Justin finally made that dream come true in 2005, giving us William Rast.

Queen Latifah rapped her way into fuller figured women’s pants with her line of intimates, Curvation. Bono and his wife, Ali Hewson, profoundly named their eco-friendly, socially conscious line of clothing Edun – “nude” backward. We were touched at the launch at Saks Fifth Avenue, and really, who wouldn’t buy clothes recommended by a rock star wearing platform wingtip shoes?

After reaching near-Timberlake heights of pop music, we’re all dying to wear Victoria Beckham’s jeans, and those fab folks at Rock & Republic made that happen. Gwen Stefani had the prescience to bring us her L.A.M.B. line of clothing before becoming pregnant, so that we could emulate her svelte fashion sensibilities. Bonus: can Gwen’s maternity line be far behind?
