Pop princess Stacy Ferguson, better known as Fergie (from the group “Black Eyed Peas,” the erstwhile pop group “Wild Orchid,” and the the show “Kid’s Incorporated”) has teamed up with Belgian brand Kipling for round 2 of her line of specially-designed handbags.
Though no stranger to designing (she has designed collections for BlendShe, a brand of clothing and accessories,) her first collaboration with Kipling last year, was her maiden venture into the world of handbag-design (joining the ranks of celebrities – like Beyonce Knowles, Gwen Stefani, Jennifer Lopez to name a few- who have made names for themselves in the field.) Her first collection was divided into 3 sub-collections, each with its own distinct style representing the many facets of Fergie’s personality. The Nice Scout, features bags and satchels in earth-tones; The Naughty Scout, features edgier bags with rock n’roll inspired prints and heavy on the hardware detail; and Fergie’s personal favorite The Dutchess, a collection of evening and weekend bags made from more luxurious fabrics with leather accents.
The second installment of Fergie for Kipling, released as part of Kipling’s Spring 2008 collection, will feature satchels, totes, and duffles in bright neon-hues, bold prints, and vivid patent leathers. Christened “Show-off” and Rocker-Chic” respectively, the 2-part collection continues to express Fergie’s subversive sense of style.
