Getting a new product on a celebrity’s body is the holy grail of most fashion designers. When Jordache relaunched in 2001, the jeans maker sent free garments to the likes of Mariah Carey, Rosie O’Donnell (who wore head-to-toe rhinestone Jordache on her show), Christina Aguilera, and Gwen Stefani. Suzanne Freiwald’s Earl Jeans started out as a celebrity phenomenon, which helped get the word out about the sexy, skinny jeans. I do not know how celebrities found out, says Freiwald.

Most celebrities do not choose their clothes; their clothes choose them. Fashion has forever changed the way events are reported by the media.

Then we started having to say Be sure to give us the full length. If you go back into archives you get a very different kind of celebrity coverage.
