Gossip Girl Inspired Collection To Hit Miss Selfridge

Love hit US television show Gossip Girl? Love the fashion just as much? Well, good news! High street favourite Miss Selfridge are to create a collection inspired by the show’s costume designer Eric Daman – one that’ll be based on the four female lead characters – Serena Van der Woodsen, Blair Waldorf, Jenny Humphrey and Vanessa Abrams, which will be hitting the shops at the end of April.

The collection will feature key pieces including a leopard print boho maxi dress in the style of Vanessa, a ruffle front shift dress with a floral skirt in the style of Blair, a black body con bondage dress in the style of Serena and a nude and black lace tutu style skirt in the style of Jenny. Miss Selfridges’ creative director Yasmin Yusuf said ‘We are delighted to be working the Warner Bros television series, Gossip Girl. The dresses we’ve created based on the characters fit perfectly with our spring/summer 2010 range. Our customers love the show and the styles of the girls so the partnership is perfect.’ Consisting of eight pieces in total, the collection will retail online and in store from £39.

Warner Bros general manager of consumer products UK added ‘Fashion is intrinsic to Gossip Girl and a key ingredient in the continued popularity of the series. Miss Selfridge has created a collection that is true to the ideals of the show and one that young women will aspire to own. We’re certain it will be a commercial success, and the beginning of a long-term relationship with the retailer.’

Following from the success of their debut collaboration with Hed Kandi last year, Miss Selfridge are likely to be aiming for exactly the same success second time around. And hopefully this will be another in a long line of successful collaborations between the high street retailer and some of the biggest names in entertainment.
