Against everything that we understand, the fashion industry seems to love Pete Wentz.

He’s designed his own line, Clandestine Industries, beat Rachel Bilson to designing a capsule collection for DKNY Jeans, posed for the Gap, and now, the prince of guyliner is partnering with Nordstrom to bring his junior high mall-kid aesthetic to other junior high kids at the mall.

According to WWD, Wentz is launching a junior sportswear line (not unlike Heidi Montag, may we remind,) still under the name Clandestine Industries to launch in April. The clothes, consisting mostly of jeans and tees are meant to be unisex (oh this is going to go over so well with 12 year-olds shopping with their moms,) and will be sold in Nordstrom’s BP sections, where we’ve been secretly buying flats for years.

Nordstrom already has a plan in the works to prime shoppers for the emo overload coming this spring - a Pete Wentz CD-DVD featuring behind-the-scenes footage of the design collaboration and some previously unheard songs by Wentz will be available just before the line debuts.

We’re betting on an Ashlee Simpson guest design collection next. Because really, at this point, why not?
