New York, August 22-23, 2007 – The celebrity fashion line trend shows no sign of abating, and the celebs are popping up everywhere just in time for back-to-school. Steve & Barry’s, the once-unknown retail chain that brought out Sarah Jessica Parker’s line last spring and one by Amanda Bynes this summer, had tennis star Venus Williams in its Manhattan store on Thursday to introduce her own low priced brand, EleVen.

We ended up at the club Gin Lane on Thursday evening where Fergie (the singer, not the duchess) launched her line of handbags, "Fergie for Kipling". The Black Eyed Peas lead carried one of the bags at the party, but her shoes were Chanel.

Ciara is the new face of Rocawear’s women’s line, and she dropped in at Macy’s Herald Square flagship on Wednesday to sign autographs, give away concert tickets and talk up the “I Will Not Lose” campaign aimed at inspiring young people.
