Katie Holmes For Armani — Her First Fashion Line

Katie Holmes For Armani — Her First Fashion Line

Katie Holmes‘ foray into fashion is just around the corner as she will release her own clothing line called Katie Holmes for Armani, reports OK!

Using daughter Suri, 23 months, as inspiration, Katie’s first collection, out spring 2009, will be designed for toddlers.

But that’s not all! Mrs. Cruise, 29, will then create a line for older children for Fall 2009 and then women’s clothes and handbags for Fall 2010.

Katie Holmes For Armani will be available at department stores including Saks, Barney’s, and Neiman Marcus.

WOULD YOU BUY clothes from Katie Holmes’ new fashion line?

UPDATE: Katie’s rep is denying these rumors.

I wouldn’t buy her clothes..
NEVER

“Katie Holmes for Armani?” Yeah, that’s a label I want on my clothes. NOT!

Adoring Fan @ 03/18/2008 at 7:57 pm

Does this mean she is giving up her acting career?

Rachel Phankonsy @ 03/18/2008 at 8:01 pm

NEVER!!! I would never buy katie holmes clothes for my kids, niece, cousins, or friends. The girl dress like an old woman!!! Imagine, she designed for little kids. How come, she’s so special, that she can used georgio armani name! I think that is so stupid!!! Yeah, what’s up with celebrities and their fashion lines. If I were them, I should just stick with acting!!!

Well, if it’s good enough for Armani to attach their name on it, then they must think she won’t disappoint. Armani is not any brand, it is quality clothing. So it would only make sense to assume this.

No I would not buy from this fake witch. She dresses like an old hag, why would anyone want to dress like an old woman like her. She has no style, no talent, and no class. She sold her soul to Tom and a cult for fame and money, she could never achieve on her own. She would not have this fashion line if did not sell herself out.

BECKY-BRAZIL @ 03/18/2008 at 8:10 pm

yummyyyyyyy

adore her *.*

beauuuuuuuuuuutiful lady inside ‘n out

miss Dawson’s =[

she is repulsive @ 03/18/2008 at 8:13 pm

IS THIS A HORRIBLE JOKE?????????????????

I would if they are similar to the way she dresses.

Nothing but selling out…avarice and greed, her husband is a multi-millionaire, how much more money do they need? I’m so tired of celebs doing clothing lines and perfume! she has no credibility to her name, she didn’t have to work her way up, no one would give her her own line if she wasn’t tom’s wife. and yes, armani may be attaching his name to it, so i wonder how much creative control she’s going to have, she’s going to have to get everything OK’d by them and probably ‘touched up’ as well…

katie stick to what you know, being an over-indulgent mother and tom’s arm candy.

ok guys, how about we take an unbiased approach. lets see it first before we judge. not a fan of katie/tom, but some of these comments are so judgemental

I think she will be a good designer. Look at what she and her daughter wear. She has good taste and if Armani wasn’t so expensive I’d probably buy her stuff.

Shiloh is SOOOO beautiful @ 03/18/2008 at 8:21 pm

No way would I buy anything designed by KH!

[☆F a m o u s☆] @ 03/18/2008 at 8:22 pm

all these groupie jolie stans are gonna buy it.

OMG……………give me a break!!!

Without any real acting talent and without marrying Tom Cruise Katie Holmes was rapidly fading away in Hollywood ~ But fate pointed to her and she married “Tom” now she is expect to look older, act older, talk weird, act perfect and for some awful reason she shops and shops and shops

Once a casual and carefree young woman she is now trying for the older more sophicated woman look. Wearing stiff uncomfortable, blah clothes, whacked off her hair. . . getting a nose job. . Someone should tell her. . .You truly look ridiculous.

She ostensibly has everything but she appears as though she’s a prisoner and disturbingly somebody is always grasping on to her tightly, like she’s going to tip over. Maybe she’s medicated. She should find a worthy cause, not childrens clothes, and try to do some real good with all that money. She should try to get past her empty, ridiculous shopping obsession. . . . it makes her look vapid and insipid! She was once so young and pretty. . . I hope she wakes up and get out of her murky fog. It’s so disturbing.

WTF ? another clothing line?! @ 03/18/2008 at 8:38 pm

hell to the no I wouldn’t buy her junk. A majority of the people wouldn’t be able to buy her stuff anyways since she’s parterned with Armani— of all people! Besides it’ll probably be cost $200 for a little itty bitty pair of shoe. God knows how much it’ll cost for a simple toddler t-shirt.

maybe but i don’t like the fact that ppl w/ money get to have their own fashion line
i mean look at lauren conrad like wtf

It is ridiculous to buy Armani clothes for children-the money could be much better spent (if you have so much) by donating more to charity.

I can’t stand Katie Holmes.

Katie… get your teeth fixed so that you can smile properly. You are such a prettty girl.

Ok, this is it. No more Armani for me, no perfumes, no accessories, nothing.

I don’t get what people like Giorgio A. see in this $ciento fembot. She has no personality, nothing, she’s a superficial clotheshanger.

she did a 360 from her dawson’s creek days…

she wouldn’t have this line if it wasn’t for being tom cruise’s wife.

she hasn’t earned any of this on her own.

what happened to the girl next door.

now she’s just a snot or thinks she’s better than everyone.

why is she trying so hard to be Victoria Beckham? Katie, you aren’t Posh, get over yourself!

The only people who are going to be able to afford these clothes of hers are her rich counterparts….

Saks, Barney’s… only high class society people can afford that stuff, not the majority of America..

I want the Katie Holmes who was with Chris Klein… remember those days

.

it makes her look vapid and insipid!

Shaughnessy @ 03/18/2008 at 9:27 pm

“it makes her look vapid and insipid”

Couldn’t agree more “what a vapid twit that crazy woman has turned into”

lmao. Rediculous.

Fashion Designer: where unemployable starlets go to die.

The once prestigious and creative careerer of fashion designer has now been designated a graveyard for talentless starlets - as if being materialistic clotheshorse shopoholic and having a stylist dress you is a criteria for being able to design fashion. ‘

Now these dead beat, unskilled and unemployable has-beens just approve or disapprove the work of real designers and slap their smarmy name on it.

So, I can add Armani on my boycott list.

Way to buy your useless wife a career Tom boy!

Hahaha, she becomes stylish after marrying Tom (he obviously hired a stylist for her)and that apparently qualifies her to be a designer???? She’s becoming more of a joke everyday. Where’s the real Katie?

tINA!!!!! @ 03/18/2008 at 9:46 pm

Armani sucks then…Armani sucks now.
No Armani for me thank you.

totally agree with libby, money spent on designer clothes for your kids can be spent on better things…instead of spending $500 on a pair of shoes, that money could be going to a child who has never had a pair of shoes. how can anyone justify spending that kind of money on clothes when there are people in the world who don’t even have clean water to drink or warm clothes to wear….

sick really…i’ll tell you something, i’ll be damned if my kids will be dressing better than me!

ihatemileycyrus @ 03/18/2008 at 10:00 pm

OK ENOUGH WITH CELEBS AND THEIR DUMB FASHION LINES! GO STICK UR HEAD IN THE SAND

once in a while i like what she wears but she usually dresses too old. She should dress her age and my god please cover her feet.

Is it just me or she’s turning into VICTORIA BECKHAM….Act your age Katie!

What a joke. She’s got no real talent, married into money, and now spends all of Tom’s money going shopping. Besides her precious Suri, she’s got nothing going for her. I hope her line does badly.

I have a great idea, dump the dress idea, Kate should design
open toe sandals……for all ages……she know alot about feet!!!!

i wouldn’t want my daughter to look like a robot like hers. lol!

if its good enough for tom cruise to get amarni to attach thier name to it, then they are probably ghosting her deisgns,..ahahha.they will just convince her its her idea…ahhaha

NO NO NO

She has bad taste, NO style. Her clothes wear her.

She defines the term fashion victim

Katie Holmes is one gullible foolish, silly, loon not a children’s clothing designer? Katie found herself the object of a grand, sweeping courtship not only with a much older Tom Cruise,but also with the entire Church of Scientology. It wasn’t Katie’s charms or fashion designing that won Cruise over, but her eagerness to accept the wierd-O Scientology shtick lock, stock and barrel in exchange for what she thought was “true love.” I wonder if she has figured out who Cruises true love is yet? Sure ain’t her

Everyone and their mother in hollywood has their own clothing line or is about to release a clothing line. These people don’t even dress THEMSELVES. They have other people tell them how to dress. I guess she could make a go at it, she’ll have all the scientologists buying her clothing. If you think Holmes will actually be designing clothes, you have have a screw loose. She will be lending her NAME to the clothing line only. Armani isn’t about to wreck it’s reputation.

SARAH_ASIAN @ 03/18/2008 at 11:37 pm

she’s so OLD but beautiful and i dont like her fashion

What was Holmes ever said or done to offend all of you?

Marryinng a man who’s religion you find disagreeable? Shops alot-which she can afford and is her own business to do?

“she wouldn’t have this line if it wasn’t for being tom cruise’s wife.

she hasn’t earned any of this on her own.”

Like you care

“now she’s just a snot or thinks she’s better than everyone.”

Where did you get a carzy idea like that?

“The only people who are going to be able to afford these clothes of hers are her rich counterparts….

Saks, Barney’s… only high class society people can afford that stuff, not the majority of America..”

So?

What makes her look vapid and insipidoud? Her shopping?

Is hse notr allowed to shop? And don’t give me that self-righteous save the starvig children in Africa speech. You don’t actually care about any of that. It’s juts another excuse to further bash the woman.

I will buy it but I knew its nothing but rumors.

Classy in and out. Thanks Jared for all the updates.
The media and tabloids are always dying for lots of Katie coverage
and news and ofcourse when news is sloowwww they make up stuff.

Someone is overrating her talent and appeal. She could not possible be doing this. She has never dressed well on her own. I suppose marrying Tom Cruise afforded her some more expensive attire and possibly an image consultant that pulls off a decent look 10% of the time but it is ridiculous to think that it is due to her own eye for fashion. No one likes her at all anymore but no one ever liked her for being fashionable.

anonymous and proud of it @ 03/19/2008 at 12:58 am

firstly, this is sick

secondly, I don’t support CULTS

and lastly, the so called “church ” of $cientology has enough money that it has stolen from the weak minded non-celebrity members

BOYCOT ALL $CIENTOLOGY CELEBS NOW

Thank God it is a rumor, because the clothes she has been wearing are awful! She doesn’t have very good taste and I think if she did have a clothing line, it would be a disaster.

Another fabricated story put out by the tiny tommy trainwreck pr peeps!

why are they called Katie Holmes fashion line?? did she herself really sit down and put together the pieces of clothes??? if not why are they calling themselves a designer…@_@ ?? confused….

Katie in fashion…PPUUUHHLEAS!!!
No fashion experience or training.
She is Tom’s rape bag and ovary machine only!

WHAT A PLASTIC FACE! THAT WOMAN IS UNDER COMPLETE CONTROL OF HER FREAKY HUSBAND. EVEN KIDS CAN SEE HOW SHE DESPERATELY TRIES TO SHOW FAKE HAPPINESS. SHE REMINDS ME MORE AND MORE ON VICTORIA BECKHAM -FRUSTRATED RICH WOMAN WHO JUST GOT LOST CONNECTION WITH HERSELF…….SECOND CLASS ACTRESS SUDDENLY BECOMES A FASHION DESIGNER! GIVE ME A BREAK!

I TOTALLLY AGREE WITH POSTER # 24. THERE IS SOMETHING SICK AND DISTURBING ABOUT HOLMES AND CRUISE…

i’d buy it for my kids because i like the way her daughter is dressed. but her style is so boring. she is so boring.

When hell freezes over @ 03/19/2008 at 6:36 am

Doesn’t she get paid enough to be Tom’s beard?

She’s just following Victoria Beckham’s “lead”… one has-been no talent lapping at the heels of another no talent has-been who are both where they are now due to the men that they married NOT on their own accord! And before anyone starts jumping all over me- VB was in the spice girls’, KH was an actress- blah, blah, blah- if they were not married to a beckham and a cruise and were still Victoria Adams/Katie Holmes- does anyone think any of these major designers would look their way at all? Don’t think so… it’s due to the name- not their so-called, non-existent “talent”!

How much $$$$$ more does she need??? Doesn´t Tom give her enough???? She is so tackey, i wouldn´t want her clothes for free!!!!

ahhaha..MCLOVING…Defending your cult fool I see,,

Its quite obvious she is fOOLISh , hmm forgive me , with a capital F…

the put the story out and pulled it when they realised how bad the comments where..these cult freaks with do anything to for publicity

stop …st.o.p the publicity whoring

Yes the style is very beautiful I lovely Katie =)

Please tell me this is a joke? She only became stylish while with Tom, so now she is a designer? I don’t think so. The only reason she is a part of this is because of Tom. No way will I purchase anything of hers ( I mean Tom’s), so ridiculous.

If I had kids I wouldn’t buy anything with her name on it. She dresses her own spawn like she’s an old Armish woman.

Bless her fo trying hard but I would NEVER buy “her” designs. And when did desiging become the new fallback career? Mad money was a huge flop.. so maybe she needs a hobby that gets her out of the house every once in a while.

She puts on a brave face but her eyes are NEVER smiling.

Just because Tom is considered an A-list actor doesn’t mean since she married him she is, too. All she is now is a Tompuppet. She may as well change her name to Kate Cruise because she’s sure not Katie Holmes anymore. Libra, I agree.

libraesque @ 03/19/2008 at 6:05 pm

hey viv, for that thread go to ihatetomcruise

of course i would buy katie’s clothes in a heart beat. no questions ask. i think you guys need to stop talking bad about celebs and give these people a chance. there human too. i think you all are just jealous.

I would, she has great style.

Katie has a hreat sense of style. I would buy what she designs. She also dresses Suri so well. I prefer Tom in less formal wear than what he favours these days. He looks so nice in casual clothes.

Concerned mom @ 03/19/2008 at 6:49 pm

Well hi everyone just came from tomkatcrazy because it went nuts. I hope this is a forum where we can actually express our opinions freely

Concerned mom @ 03/19/2008 at 6:51 pm

Miapocca, Libraesque said you were over here. Missed you at tomkatcrazy. but that forum just went all fluffy.

hey libra, vianne, and concerned mom–
glad to see you. I just went back to the old site and read the latest comments since I posted. Looks like that place will DIE from what i’ve been reading. If I didn’t know better I’d think that someone was paid to make it a fan site again…..too bad, no fans left. ha!!!!

Forgot to say… I couldn’t believe the InStyle UK thread w/about 350 posts was deleted.

libraesque @ 03/19/2008 at 7:59 pm

actually it was all the way up to something like 450!!!

to KAYKAY, go to ihatetomcruise to find former tkcers

kaykaywife @ 03/19/2008 at 8:15 pm

Why is no one updating ihatetomcruise.com ??
Well anyways I’m glad we can all practice our right of free speech here :D I hope!! Anyways I just love reading all the comments specially because with these two even the craziest most outrageous comment has some truth in it… Libra thanks for letting me know where all of you are going to be from now on!!

Battlemama @ 03/19/2008 at 9:00 pm

Libra: I’m here! I think membership in COS is now required for Tomkat Crazy. Notice Julie would not address Jessy and her nasty comments.

Battlemama @ 03/19/2008 at 9:09 pm

Seriously, it is amazing how fast freedom of speech got thrown out the window. Julie starts with this play nice crap and then has making love with the Wicked Witch of Scientology herself.
I wonder if that was part of the Scientology planning meeting to have them ‘retake the fan sites.’ That way KH can read them again and feel so much in love with herself.

As I said before, I think all of KH’s shopping at Armani earned her a label with them.

Wonder if Suri will be paid to model them or if that is how she will earn her keep.

freekatian @ 03/19/2008 at 9:33 pm

Do you know about freekatie.net girls? There’s a very active forum there.

http://freekatie.yuku.com/forums/63/t/General-Discussion-on-Free-Katie.html

ng: Ladies, I’m present for roll call. Yes, TOMKAT CRAZY has changed with the new host and that mole Jessy. I won’t repeat those names again because they are the ones that spew hate. Imagine the life Katie lives? Wow, we can cruise different blogs but she stuck with Cruise (pun intended).

I predict we will soon see Suri for her 2nd official birthday. And she will be moved front and center sooner in her young life than later. God help that little girl. What I find insensitive is how they keep her out of the press and then boom put her front and center where the flashes cause her to squint. How do you explain to a toddler WHY people are scrambling to take your picture? I think the last time Suri was seen it was January 16, in New York City when she said “hi and blew a kiss.”
And then no more. Hope she’s okay.

I still say as she gets older it will bother Katie to see her taught Scientology doctrine. We will see.

Nice to join you ladies again.

bumblebeej @ 03/20/2008 at 2:10 am

Hi TKCers. As a sporadic commenter and daily reader, and site changes make me want to be sick. Life will be so boring now. I thought Americans were into free speech. You do realise Jessy is just a bot (or KH). Her gloating alone was enough to make me stop reading.

Bumblebeej: I also thought “that troll” was a weirdo. Especially when she made that off the wall remark to Librasesque. I thought “why are Scientologist so forceful and mean?’ I mean if you don’t agree with them than you are out. It only MAGNIFIES the world Katie surrounds herself and Suri with. The designer clothes and luxurious living are the hook that make Katie look the other way.

For us, we blog here and go on with our lives. For Katie, she lives it, eats it, sleeps with it, etc.

I agree that the COS are strategic planning to change the climate against Cruise by reviewing blogs, websites, planning their outings just like political candidates getting ready for election day and in their case the premiere of Valkiere.

Their next event will be Suri’s party or maybe J.Lo. Tomorrow J.Lo will be on the cover of people magazine for which she got paid 6 million dollars.

Hey there all you ex-TKCers!

Looks like the old stomping grounds have gone all rainbows and lollipops on us.

(That Jessy really gets on my nerves—at least “smartgurl” kept her stuff to a minimum.)

concerned mom @ 03/20/2008 at 9:00 am

hi lonestar yes looks like CoS may have bought that site out. What a shame.

concerned mom @ 03/20/2008 at 9:09 am

NG good to see you. Although the ihatetomcruise site isn’t being updated, I saw almost everybody over there posting under that first hideous pic which sort of made my eyes bleed–sorry that is one horrid pic.
Bumblebee- been reading your postings for a while. just wanted to say hi.
And I would almost bet the farm that the CoS paid some big bucks to get that tkc site under their control. after jessy’s visiousness over there, they can have it.

Battlemama @ 03/20/2008 at 10:26 am

So far, Julie hasn’t censored the new comments, but I am waiting. I am still nauseated by the love fest between the moderator and the Scientology witch after I told Julie why she left.

Con MOm: You mean, after her viciousness was rewarded!! That is what I am reeling from. With how fast they all came back, it tells me that they all knew about the COS take-over.

I am willing to bet all are members of COS.

NG: I am so happy you came!!!

So are we all staying here or what?

Also, if we do find a new post, I hope we can get follow-up messages sent to our e-mail so I can read the new comments faster.

NG: I agree that Suri is being saved up for PR force in April. I think even the party will be closed off to keep the paps. chomping for pics. I also think Katie will be ‘modeling’ more of her designs on Suri. As I said previously, it was no brainer when last fall they were all skiiing with the Armanis why they were doing that–business. Wondering if after KH is supposed to use them to get the designs made into actual clothes and then convert them to get a foothold in Europe and the fashion industry. Maybe this Katie’s test of being a good Scientologist.

Is KH definately filming the movie? Everything says she is in production for it.

bumblebeej @ 03/20/2008 at 10:52 am

Hi mom - thanks! Never commented much because everyone really said what I was thinking. My time zone is so messed up (Eastern Europe) that all the good things are said by the time I wake up in the morning!

NG - Re: Jessy and her comments. Seriously, I believe Leora gave up in the end because she was so bored by TK and wasn’t a fan. I’m sure being editor of the site will morph Julie into a similar being. It’s just not realistic to read about them every day and not realise how ostentatious and self centered their lives are.

Lonestar - Perhaps Jessy was the v.2.0. version of the smartgurl bot? Although she posts longer sentences, she says the same thing every time.

I knew instantly the rumors are bogus. God bless Katie!
I love how she dresses but I know she’s not into the rest of the celebs doing the fashion line.

I just checked out TKC and there’s not a single comment posted there as of yet. Normally by now there’d be tons of them. I think this group was keeping that site going for the most part.

Katie looks hot. What even is this photo?

hi concerned mom

DOnt spend time on sicentology run sites and tomkatcrazy is overly monitored and they have resident koolaid rinker son there..,just like they tired at babyNazzi.,whihc hasnt worked yet, because at least there are still some free thinking folks there..

It started out as a joke really , but the more I read about the crazy religion and teh actions of the midget and RoBoHo the scarier it got…crazy greedy cult freaks

If only this were true…..

may the force be with Katie

and her family….

Cant wait for real news and new photos on Katie.

I think she is very stylish and beautiful ever since. These days ofcourse she is extra beautiful.

KH is just so amazing. She knows how to smile for the cameras.
I ask any of you haters to name JUST ONE other person that could do that!
GO ON, NAME another star that can smile…… SEEE you CAN’T!

KATIE HOLMES IS NOT A WANNABE FASHION DESIGNER LIKE VICTORIA BECKHAM, SHE WAS APPROACHED BY ARMANI, WHICH IS A VERY HIGH HONOUR.

THE CLOTHES WILL BE OF HIGH QUALITY AND VERY CLASSIC, AND YOU CAN EXPECT NO LESS FROM SUCH A BEAUTIFUL AND PRESENTABLE WOMAN LIKE KATIE HOLMES.

VICTORIA BECKHAM IS PROBABLY FUMING WITH JEALOUSY.
