Agyness Deyn and Jessica Stam Become Designers

Two Super models trying their hands at designing. The ladies are doing special one-off collections that are probably going to go for a ton on eBay. Barneys Japan has teamed up with British model Agyness Deyn to produce a special collection of 11 items including dresses, knits, scarves, t-shirts and leggings, which retail from 18,900 yen, or about $212, to 27,300 yen, or $307. The initiative is part of Barneys’ environmental campaign Go Green Go and a portion of the proceeds will go towards the planting of trees in inner Mongolia. Deyn’s line will make its retail debut at the opening of Barneys’ new store in Kobe on Friday. It will be sold at Barneys’ Shinjuku location in Tokyo beginning March 13.

Jessica Stam signed up with Rachel Rachel Roy to co-design a capsule collection featuring a jean, a cardigan and a handbag for her Rachel Rachel Roy label which will be unveiled during the next Fashion Week. The pieces, which will launch in October, will be unveiled during New York Fashion Week in September. Roy and Stam will heavily rely on social media to launch the collection, with Twitter and Facebook updates and a behind-the-scenes video footage of the collaboration.
