Jessica Simpson Jeans - Coming Right Up Thanks to Jones New York Deal

More and more, it's Jessica Simpson's world and we're just getting dressed in it.

The celebrity will now be creating a denim collection with apparel giant Jones New York. The Camuto Group, which holds the master license for Simpson's lifestyle brand (the Jessica Simpson Collection), and the Jones Apparel Group have signed a deal to create an extensive collection to include jeans, tops, jackets and skirts set to hit department stores in July.

Simpson herself has many favorites. "The jeggings are amazing and the skinny jeans fit to perfection," she told StyleList. "We have great tops, super soft T's and cute boyfriend blazers and jackets that complete the look." Jeans start at $49 and the other items range from $29 to $79.

Simpson, whose brand empire is reported to rake in an impressive $500 million at retail and encompasses shoes, handbags, outerwear, swimwear, lingerie and even luggage, is bucking the trend of celebrity fashion lines.

While the majority (Jennifer Lopez, Eve, Kristin Davis) are failing, the Jessica Simpson machine keeps rolling along, not unlike Sean "P. Diddy" Combs and his Sean John collection. Perhaps it has something to do with her level of personal involvement.

"She has a very strong point of view and would be in here working long hours on this, sometimes up to 12 hours or so," Jones jeanswear CEO Jack Gross told WWD. "I have to say, I didn't really expect to see that."

"What I like about Jessica is that she comes across as approachable and not too edgy, which allows for the collection to translate to a broader customer base," Gross added.

Simpson is scheduled to do an extensive number of in-store appearances at Macy's, Belk, Bon-Ton and Dillard's this summer to promote the collection's launch.

Let's just hope she's not going to try and sell us those horrible high-waisted "mom" jeans she was taken to task for wearing last year.

Plus, read our exclusive interview with Jessica Simpson where the star talks about her current swimwear collaboration and top beauty secret.

The picture showing Jessica in her outfits is lovely. She is beautiful. Tony Romo missed the boat when he pushed her overboard. I think her outfits are practical and reasonably priced; and they are attractive too.

so long as she has that manface, both genders will find her attractive. thats the only interesting thing about jess simpsons celebrity; a kinsey study case in point. but i do respect her a little more for getting a career and creating that 'dayjob' most ppl w/little talent have to keep..

"Let's just hope she's not going to try and sell us those horrible high-waisted "mom" jeans she was taken to task for wearing last year"..... Well I hate to tell you but the only pants I buy from Jones of New York are pants with a high waist. I don't try to re live the 70's. Those low rise numbers and the man trousers are what is horrible. They do not look good on any one quit kidding your self.

NO IT SELLS 500 million worth of clothes ... she gets a royalty fee ... 1/2-1% maybe ... Yes its a nice 2.5-5 million but that wolnt pay her rent ... it costs these stars 10 mil a year in PR and Management fees and they spend a few mil a month ... She needs to lose some weight and start singing pop music again because Country likes Carrie Underwood and not fat rear Simpson .... Rock is more "weight forgiving" (Brit Brit, Fat rear Beyonce, the fat pig 1st american idol winner Kelly Pigsson and so on) ... take care jess and quit thinking coyotes will bring your pooch back for the ransom money lol Jess is brain dead

Just because some idiot paid her a lot of money to use her name and picture to hawk their stuff dosen`t mean it`s any good. It just means that they think other idiots will buy it if they think she has something to do with it.

When a "Personality" does something that TRULY impacts society on a POSITIVE level then I'll be impressed. Until then they can eat their 100 dollar jeans, and 50 dollar bottles of perfume themselves (and choke on it!)

She is getting rich and you're whining like a puppy. Go ahead and pretend your opinion matters. You're still making less than she is, and can't understand why!

Jessica Simpson is talentless and wants to be an A lister. She is not A list material. He fashion line will fizzle as well. Same with her glamor line like cosmetics, if she decides to try that next. What next JS shoes? She just doesn't get it. She is an average person at best trying to make it in the big world without having any talent.

Good for her!!!!!! It is nice to see someone who has a NORMAL body selling jeans. She is beautiful. People making negative comments should save them for all the abnormally skinny clebrities.

Didn't she get taken to court a couple of years ago because she was paid to represent a line of jeans, and was supposed to wear them around, yet she never did?
Maybe this new line that is taking a gamble on her is coming up with a plus-size line so she'll wear them.

We all know that Jessica is not the sharpest knife in the draw, she designed what?and the clothing and shoe line with her name on it is as old as time just rehashed. Nothing is original about her clothing line or shoes. It is tore up from the floor up!

Greeattt..another 'celeb' putting their name on something and getting money for doing absolutely nothing. Can't they just stick to one thing and give it a rest. I absolutely am disgusted the way people worship these stupid celebrities who have done NOTHING but flaunt themselves sexually and exploiting bad behavior to our kids. Shame on them.

I Like Jessica Simpson. Her Best song was Her, "I Want To Love you Forever!" I Don't know if I will buy the clothing, but I just bought a pair of JS- Matine, Black Kid Suede, flat ballet shoes, with Her Name inside. They are comfortable, and pretty. have ties and beads on the end of the ties, gatherered in the front. and are not bad for the price $60.00, on sale for $34 So, I Love these shoes!
