Earl Lloyd, First Black NBA Player, Gets Honor At Hawks Game
Is Whitney Houston Joining 'The X Factor'?
The true-life story about the rise and fall of the Chicago-based record label is set in the 50s, and the actors wore an impressive wardrobe that, while consistent with the time period, is modern enough to be worn today. Hence, the recent launch of a House of Deréon line inspired by the movie. Beyoncé's mom Tina Knowles worked hard on both the film and the line.
The House of Deréon line inspired by 'Cadillac Records' is available at Bloomingdales.
We had the pleasure of speaking to the one who created Beyonce's image, and serves as Creative Director and Designer for several clothing lines: the high-end House of Deréon, junior lifestyle Deréon and her very own Miss Tina available exclusively at the Home Shopping Network. We just had to get all up in her business to learn about the personal style of the woman who gave birth to the brands and biggest of all, the Beyoncé machine.
Eartha Kitt
For my personal style, I would say Donna Karan. In terms of creativity and aesthetic, I would say Gianfranco Ferre.

HAHAHA!!! If she REALLY stood by her designs, and her passion for it, she should have said SHE was her favorite designer.

LIA I THINK THE QUESTION WAS "FOR HER PERSONAL STYLE" THAT SHE LOVED DONNA KARAN. I BELIEVE DONNA KARAN HAS CLOTHES FOR THE OLDER WOMAN.
