Jess’s Q&A in Scottsdale, part 2
Alright, so here’s the second part of pop-turned-country singer, Jessica Simpson’s Q&A session with The Arizona Republic. Before she greeted hundreds of fans on Saturday afternoon, the Pray Out Loud songstress talked about her new dress collection for spring and her personal style.
How hands-on are you in the design of your products?
I go to a lot of approval meetings. I just got off tour, so my mom’s definitely really, really hands on and if there is something she can be in a meeting for and I cant, she’ll send me pictures and I will say yes or no or change this. I really want to represent who I am. It’s my name. I don’t want something out there that would make any consumer feel uncomfortable.
You have shoes, sunglasses, bags, clothing and more - what’s next for you?
Actually, we are doing coats for kids. Already right now we are connected with Stride Rite shoes for kids. Now we are getting into coats, but I am anxious for the luggage. I am always traveling so I can’t wait to put my Louis Vuitton stuff aside and actually rock some Jessica Simpson going through airport.
Is the success of your collection exciting for you? Are you just so proud?
Yeah, I definitely am so proud. It was risk, but I think when you surround yourself with amazing people that know the market and know what the consumer wants, it works.
I literally don’t wear flats but one of my biggest shoes is a flat, so I’ve had to take myself out of what I would wear and think of the consumer.
