Erin O’Connor has stepped away from the catwalk for her latest creative endeavor. The British model is preparing to release a capsule fashion line called She Died of Beauty.
Just because a model wears fashionable clothes, doesn’t mean she knows how to design them. Thankfully Erin O’Connor left nothing to chance by working with stylist Kate Halfpenny on the project.
“The very visual nature of fashion is to manipulate and exaggerate almost everything. We loved the idea of twisting a polite sentiment into a naughty yet, frivolously funny statement that we hope will appeal to all,” the pair said in a statement.
She Died of Beauty is a small collection made up of five different typographic T-shirts and two handbags. Each piece was created using ethical and organic materials.
I’m always a little nervous when I see a model trying their hand at design, as history tells us it doesn’t always work. However, with Kate Halfpenny’s involvement and the quirky messages I’m optimistic about Erin O’Connor’s line.
The She Died of Beauty T-shirts and bags will be available through the capsule collection’s official website from September 12. Are you looking forward to seeing it?
