Rumor Mill: Gabrielle Union To Launch Clothing Line

Posted at 09/16/2010 by Staff 0 Comment

Looks like Gabrielle Union is getting ready to become another in a long line of celebrities to launch a clothing line. Her line is expected to create clothing for full figured black women.

According to The YBF:

Gabby Union is dipping into the fashion world. And at Sunday’s Montblanc John Lennon pen launch event in NYC, she let it slip that her newest project is nearing completion. She’s readying her own clothing line, tentatively titled “Love & Blessings by Gabrielle.”

“It’s not completely solidified yet so I shouldn’t really be talking about it. But it’s been 4 years in the making.”

But we still managed to squeeze out her inspiration behind the line. The “FlashForward” actress tells YBF:

“My sister is very full figured. And she’s constantly telling me how going out is so hard. Mainly because it is so difficult to find clothes that look great for her size. ‘Everyday’ black women don’t have much to choose from when looking for designers who will fit their bodies. So I want to make clothes for women at any and all sizes that look absolutely great on them.”

Gabby, who admittedly loves shopping at Target for some of her clothes, says her goal is to make amazing clothes for as many sizes as possibe. And will keep it all at a great price point. She tells us she’s currently putting the icing on the cake for the line. And she’s hoping to go the HSN/QVC route to sell it.

Sounds like Ms. Union is ready to give folks something new in her life to talk about.
