Miley Cyrus has proven herself as a television star, silver screen actress, and world class singer. Is there anything this pint-sized poppet can’t do? Well we’re about to see, with news Miley’s about to add fashion designer to her resume.
But she won’t go it alone. Miley is teaming up with red-carpet favorite Max Azria to create a junior fashion range for Walmart. The affordable and contemporary collection is set to include clothes, shoes, bags, and other accessories.
I must admit; I’m shocked Max Azria would stoop to releasing a department store range. This is the man who regularly dresses Halle Berry, Alicia Keys, and Angelina Jolie for the red carpet after all. But perhaps cash strapped teens deserve to enjoy Mr. Azria’s legendary style as well!
He does share a history with Miley, who he happily dressed for the 2009 Grammy Awards, so this isn’t completely left of field. She also plans to wear his designs for her Breakout tour this summer.
And Walmart has long realized the appeal of teen stars, showcasing collections by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Hilary Duff, and Taylor Swift in the recent past. I suppose a Miley Cyrus collection is the next logical step!
The Miley Cyrus and Max Azria for Walmart capsule line is scheduled to hit stores in August, just in time for the start of the new school year. All pieces are priced at less than $20.
