Jessica
Simpson may be well known for her singing and acting career, as well as some
reality shows she appeared on, but her biggest success story to date has been
fashion design. Her shoe collections alone bring in millions and she also
designs a full clothing range. The mother of two has opened up on finding
unlikely success as a fashion designer, explaining that she thinks her fashion
company has become so popular because she has a good understanding of what
women of all sizes and shapes want to wear. She also believes that her clothes
are just simply easy to wear, accessible and affordable to the masses: “I
think I can relate to every woman out there. I have been every size there is,
so I know how to dress every body type. I truly believe that it’s not just
about high fashion. You know, we all need pieces in our wardrobe that are
fashionable but accessible, wearable, you know, and affordable. I think that
that’s what has made the brand such a success.”
Speaking
on what she is like to work with, Jessica says she doesn't necessarily feel as
though she is the head of the team, although she does believe she can be
slightly bossy and controlling during the design process. She says it's a group
effort and her team are to thank for a lot of the work that goes in to her
creations: “I don’t really feel like a boss. Maybe I am, I’m sure I am
bossy. But I do give the credit to everybody around me. My team is who I am.”
