Pop singer Hilary Duff, who has recently guest starred on Gossip Girl, launched a clothing line in partnership with fashion powerhouse DKNY. The clothing line called "Femme" seems to reflect "rocker chic with a soft touch." Hilary said: “I have always adored and worn DKNY Jeans, so it made perfect sense to reach out to them. We hit it off immediately, sharing a design vision offering something special for young women like me.” Kevin Monogue, President of DKNY Jeans, expresses the connection that she has to a young female demographic: "Hilary's influence over this particular demographic cannot be overstated. From film, TV to fragrance, there's an ability to connect with her on so many levels."
In the video below, she explains that these jeans reflect her style and it's something that she wants to give to her fans in order to make that style "accessible" to them. This is the classic basis for celebrity endorsements and the ability to sell the celebrity personality, including style.
