Bottom of the Grapevine

Why do I seem to hear everything last? It's not like we still use pony express to get news to the Midwest. Geez.
So I hear that Natalie Portman is starting a shoe line. Ok. Have fun with that.
Do you think these stars really design the stuff their selling under their names?
Seriously...how can all these acclaimed actresses/singers really have the time to learn about fabrics, design and construction and come up with their own designs? Or learn all about scents and oils and the like, then come up with their own perfumes?
Unlikely.
It's great that these stars have loads of cash to do whatever whim strikes them...but I'd sure like to hear/see more from the fabulous locals starting their lines from the ground up. Wouldn't you?
Haute Market is on a mission to find and interview these faboo people and bring them to you!
