Madonna To Start A Shoe Line!

OMG YES!

Madonna will be starting a new footwear line under the new Truth or Dare label, which is owned by MG Icon.

The line will have more than 60 styles, including flats, heels, booties, over-the-knee boots and will retail anywhere from $89 - $349.

Her stylist Arianne Phillips will be a creative consultant on the collection.

Speaking about Madge's influence on the shoes, Phillips said:

"Her fingers are really on this brand. The first thing I did was remind her of all the shoes she wore over the years, and we took the styles that we can’t live without. You can always depend on her to bring her style and provocateur quality, but she also has a very feminine perspective."

We are super excited about this endeavor! We can't believe it's taken this long to get our queen to create a shoe line!

The collection will be available later this year.

Material Girl Lawsuit Is Going To Trial

Remember how Madonna was sued for calling her Macy's clothing line Material Girl?

Almost a year after the lawsuit was filed, a judge has denied Her Madgesty's request to throw out the case filed by LA Triumph and is set to go to trial next month.

MG Icon tried to argue Madonna was the senior user of the Material Girl trademark after releasing the song back in 1984, but Judge S. James Otero disagreed.

LA Triumph, who released a clothing line with the same name in 1997, is suing for unspecified damages and wants Madge to find a new name for her clothing line.

Madonna Will Design For Macy's & Much More!

When we first heard whispers that Madonna would be designing a line of clothing at Macy's we were skeptical, but it seems like it's going to happen.

Today it was announced the Queen of Pop and manager Guy Oseary will join together with Iconix Brands to form MG Icon, LLC. Under the name Madge will be churning out many fashion related projects.

Upon the announcement Madonna said "Joining forces with Iconix to bring my fashion ideas to consumers is very exciting for me."

The first project will be a junior's line called Material Girl. The younger line will include everything from apparel, footwear, handbags and accesories, with the possibility of expanding into beauty and fragrances.

Not surprisingly, Madonna's 13 year old daughter, Lourdes is the muse for the collection. Jeff Gennette, chief merchandising officer at Macy's explains: "Lourdes has an incredible sense of style and her point of view on fashion has definitely been an inspiration for the line".

Material Girl will be hitting 200 stores in August with the possibility of reaching 850 in the future. Price points for the line are actually very affordable, ranging from $12 to $40.

Aside from the Macy's line, MG Icon is expected to announce another collaboration with a designer label for a line of branded eyewear.

We can't wait to see what M and her team come up with!
