Gwen in Action: With a different kind of tote!


Gwen Stefani has it all:the voice, the fame, Gavin Rosdale, and a new little bundle of joy to tote around! No, I am not talking about one of her stylish L.A.M.B. bags, Gwen walked out on the runway carrying little Kingston on her hip. It just goes to show you, even motherhood couldn't stop this starlet from pursuing her dreams. Her Spring 2008 collection is indicative of a new, more mature Gwen while retaining some of the punk rock- jamaica style of her days as the lead singer of No Doubt. In fact, long before the creation of L.A.M.B., Gwen could be found sewing, stitching, gluing, and in general designing her own costumes for the shows. In fact, it appears that she may have reworked an outfit she wore on stage in 1991 into her new collection. Granted, Gwen's main talent is her uncanny ability to perform with energy even at her age (no numbers everyone), but her fashion sense boasts a raw rock star attitude, and a history of trying every type of genre from punk to ska, pop, and even a little rap. Having been in the music biz that long, she has obviously accumulated a style all her own that often earns her placement on the Best Dressed Lists of several fashion magazines. In my personal opinion, Stefani is certainly a fashion icon, having reinvented herself and her look throughout the years.
My hat is off to her for her willingness to try new things and be a little silly at times (who else can pull off pink hair really?). The Spring collection for L.A.M.B. with its checkered prints, classy necklines, and playful nod to The Sound of Music is really a breath of fresh air from some of the other fashion lines created by actresses/singers. I swear if one more celebrity endorsed perfume comes out, we will have to have mandatory air fresheners in public places. Gwen has surely made her mark as an innovative designer, a performer even the men can adore, a loving mother, and one hell of a celebrity.
