Star Style: Mother/Daughter Designing Duos

Some of our favorite celebrity moms and daughters have taken their mutual love of fashion to the next level and have collaborated with one another to create amazingly successful fashion lines all their own.

Here is a roundup of some celeb mothers and daughters who are partners in style and in business:

Madonna and Lourdes Leon: The iconic singer, age 53, and her daughter, Lourdes, age 15, launched a collaborative line last year which is sold exclusively at Macy's.  In an article about the clothing line, MTV reported, "fashionistas agree that the mother/ daughter duo has discovered exactly how to bring out your best style at any age." While the line is primarily aimed for the younger demographic, there are plenty of styles to suit different age ranges. For those who like a whimsical flair, this shoe sweater is especially darling.  

Beyoncé and Tina Knowles: Back when Beyoncé was performing with the group Destiny's Child, the singer's mother, Tina Knowles, would design and sew the costumes for all the group's members. In 2004 the superstar and her mother launched their own clothing line, House of Deréon, drawing inspiration from another generation- Tina Knowles's late mother, Agnés Deréon. Their line keeps expanding- they just introduced their clothes to the UK during London Fashion Week. They even have a line of bedding available at Bed, Bath and Beyond!

Jessica Simpson and Tina Simpson: The singer/actress/former reality star and her mom, Tina, are the dynamic duo who serve as co-creative directors behind the phenomenally successful retail empire that is known as the Jessica Simpson Collection. The collection features apparel, accessories, shoes, fragrance, luggage, handbags... the list goes on and on! When we say the collection is a phenomenon, we mean it: the Jessica Simpson Collection is on pace to bring in almost a billion dollars by the end of next year. Their merchandise is sold basically everywhere: Macy's, Lord & Taylor, Nordstrom, Dillard's and more.  For fun, check out a cute little feature called "Just Like Jessica" on the company's web site which allows you to see complete outfits from the Jessica Simpson Collection fully styled à la the younger Ms. Simpson herself.
