The 58-year-old front woman of The Pretenders is teaming up with bandmate/sometime lover JP Jones, 33, to launch an environmentally friendly, rock-and-roll clothing collection that including T-shirts, skinny jeans, leather jackets, handbags, and cowboy boots -- inspired by country-singer pal Emmylou Harris -- in leather alternatives.
PETA activist and vegan Hynde told WWD she loves fashion and clothes, handbags and shoes, and that "everybody will be able to find everything they love in a non-leather version." The newspaper also reported that designers Todd Oldham and John Bartlett have already consulted on the line.
But Hynde better be careful and do her homework to avoid the same headaches and lawsuits that fellow musician Madonna is currently facing with her Material Girl clothing collection for Macy's.

I've always loved Chrissie, her music & her style. I will probably buy some of her line. As for Ms Material Girrrrl- bought a pair of studded leggings & a sequined baseball jerset 2 weeks ago- I love them both & Material Girl is my new favorite stuff. BTW- I am a very petite 54 year old rocker chick who can still rock those leggings!
