Sarah Jessica Parker thinks all the criticism on blogs of her underwhelming new clothing line is "foolish."

The blogworld's response to the star's line at Steve and Barry's has been decidedly tepid. But during a recent interview with the Minneapolis Star and Tribune, SJP basically called the criticism invalid, saying her clothes are for the everyday woman, and were never intended to impress the fashion industry.

"These clothes are about people all over the country who don't have access to really well made, affordable clothing. It's wonderful that people in the fashion industry can borrow things, and have the money and the financial means, never mind the logistical access to clothes that are very fashionable and of the moment. What's really important is that women in this country, really, really feel good about who they are and that we make things affordable and accessible. So there's no criticism that a person can make about it. It's really important that women in this country have an opportunity to have the things that all of us who do have the financial means can have."

There's more here. I only re-posted the intelligible parts.

What's interesting, is that the women SJP is reaching out to (as if they were some charity case) aren't buying the clothes, and the collection was launched with an exclusive party for the fashion industry.

Sounds like sour grapes to me.
