Beyonce’s New Line is for Backup Singers

maybe she's born with it - maybe it's her ipod.jpg
Beyonce’s clothing empire just spawned another line, but she doesn’t think it’ll make you look like a star.

Instead, Beyonce’s mother Tina tells WWD that the line was inspired by “the forgotten woman,” noting that “some of Beyonce’s backup singers are plus size women” - and why shouldn’t they have the opportunity to wear the animal print and skin-tight shiny bodices seen on her daughter?

Enter “Miss Tina,” the newest range from Beyonce and Co.

Aimed at 30 - 50 year old women, the collection debuts on the Home Shopping Network this August, and includes some very cute sweater tunics, an unfortunate rippled blazer, and more leopard print than the San Diego Zoo.

Certain pieces from the collection are great on their own, but altogether, the line reminds us of Hillary Banks’ wardrobe from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air

Of course, the fabulous Hillary would never have taken those Balenciaga leggings and turned them into a Robocop fantasy…

Does anyone know if House of Dereon even sells? I've heard the quality is less than stellar...

Beyonce's momma goes from dressing her to dressing everyone else. Who lied to this woman and told her she had a semblence of fashion sense?

Ladies. Get ready for formal shorts and a lot of sequins. Here comes Tina Knowles.

House doesn't retail that great, but the jr line Dereon unfortunately does.....

I'll shut my mouth now before I say something not nice about this subject..........

I wouldn't exactly call Beyonce's line a "clothing empire". I'm not really familiar with it, but from what I've seen it's priced too high for it's average quality.

Why, oh why, won't this woman leave us alone? Ugh.
