14 DAY TRIAL // Instead of trying to break free from comparisons with her mother when she was younger, 13-year-old Lourdes, or Lola for short, is making a name for herself on it. Not only will the singer’s daughter get her own designs out in stores this August with the Material Girl Collection, but she’s also turning fashion blogger to promote it. Her first blog post is already up.
Lourdes has often prompted comparisons between her and her mother, back in her rebel, tomboy days. This is something that she is the first to admit to in her blog post, in which she says that what she loves the most about her upcoming collection is the fact that it blends ‘80s style with modern elements. Fashion is truly something that Lola can see herself doing – and, judging by how people around the blogosphere reacted to news of the collection and the blogging attempt, one can easily say that she’s on the path to success.
“I’m 13 and I’ll be 14 in October, so I can’t wait for that because I am FINALLY allowed to dye my hair… THANK YOU MOTHER!! My favvvv color is black (just because it goes with everything) and my least favorite color is brown (because it resembles the color of something QUITE gross). I am totally obsessive about 80’s shorts… You know the kind that makes your [backside] look kinda big, with a grunge-looking shirt tucked in. It’s kinda nerdy but I love it. And the 80’s are another huge obsession of mine, which is totally amazingly awesome because Material Girl… HELLO! It’s like 80’s themed, which pretty much rocks, so yeah. I’m still in love with brogues or as some people call them ‘oxford shoes.’ I haven’t found a good sandal so I’m on like a search right now,” Lola writes.
Speaking of footwear, the young fashionista is apparently waging quite a war against gladiator sandals that simply refuse to go away. “OK but no joke gladiator sandals are OUT. They came out in summer 2008 and I was like, ok those are really cute. Then 2009 comes around and people are still wearing them so I’m like, ok whatever it’s just a phase. BUT NOOOOO. Because good old 2010 is now coming along and people are STILL wearing them, and then I was just like OK NO! It’s been three years people COME ON!!!!!!!!! I’m just like what????” she says.
On the Material Girl Collection, Lola acts as Creative Director, taking credit for many dresses, tops, jeans, handbags, shoes and even jewelry. The designer for the entire line, though, is her mother, the original material girl herself, Madonna, who found inspiration for all the items – where else – in her own style back in the ‘80s. The collection becomes available on August 3, only at Macy’s.
