First Bitten

gidget: So, SJP is launching her clothing line, Bitten, at Steve and Barry's on June 7. There have been many critics complaining that the line is boring. Well, let's think about this shall we? SJP made the decision that she wanted all the clothes to be under $20. Unlike some celebrities and designers who design for, lets say, H& M and target, SJP wanted to keep the clothes affordable for all women in the United States. That means clothes that stay under the price of $30. And that does not often happen when there are celebrity lines released. SJP also wanted to focus on clothes that women wear everyday, and wanted the clothes to be comfortable. So, perhaps what some wannabe fashionistas are disappointed with is that it is SJP, and not Carrie Bradshaw who designed the clothing.
From what i have seen of the line, i like it. Now, people who know me know i have a crush on SJP and may think i just like it cause of SJP. No no no. Anytime someone starts attempting to show people that they can look nice without spending a ton of money i think it is wonderful. Also, SJP made her line available in a whole range of sizes (sizes 2-22). When she was on Oprah she explained:

"This was really, really critical criteria to me," she says. "It was only a natural extension that these clothes are for every woman in this country no matter where you live, what you look like, what your skin color is like, what you are, where you are in the economic strata, everything. And that it's not for us to decide what looks good on somebody else. It's for women of all sizes to determine what makes them feel good."

Sure the clothes are simple (it's still Steve and Barry's) but there are some cute pieces in the line. And if she keeps up with it, who knows what another line could bring?
