Alan Jackson's New Lifestyle Line

Filed under: Celebrity Design

alan jacksonThese days it seems like musicians can't rely on CD sales and tour revenues alone to make money. Country singer Alan Jackson, who currently has his Tennessee home listed at $38 million, has a new lifestyle line. The singer has partnered with the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store on a 40+ piece assortment of lifestyle items available only at Cracker Barrel beginning November 2.

The Alan Jackson Collection includes menswear and womenswear, food items, collectibles, an Alan Jackson Signature Rocker and other exclusive items including a CD. This is the first time Cracker Barrel has developed a complete line of merchandise around a star. Jackson was involved in the creation of the collection and advised Cracker Barrel on what he thought might appeal to his fans. The most expensive piece will be the Alan Jackson Signature Rocker, a solid hardwood rocker made of Dutch Spruce logs harvested in Maine and hand-assembled in Tennessee. Alan's signature is engraved in the headrest and each rocker is numbered as part of a limited edition of 1,700.

gwenyth paltrowCan you stand another post on Gwynnie? (Or on celebrity design?) Between GOOP and her awards appearances and Coldplay, Paltrow is constantly in the celeb world's news. Next up for her: a fashion line. Paltrow has collaborated on the designs for a capsule collection -- ZOEtee's Loves Gwyneth -- with the French label ZOEtee's, famous for soft jerseywear and versatile separates. The collection will be for autumn/winter2009.

According to ELLE UK, "Made up of jersey basics as well as some glam, 1970s-inspired looks and pieces influenced by masculine tailoring, the collection will be unveiled to the fashion press next week in London. ... With Gwyneth's fashion credentials we're expecting a luxe, sophisticated yet very wearable collection of instant hits."

Word is that the proceeds from every piece sold will be donated to a charity close to Paltrow's heart -- London's Kids Company, which which offers therapy, education, art, sports, and hot meals to at-risk children.

There's lots more about Paltrow in the March 2009 issue of ELLE UK. Here's a teaser.

Sheen's line of short-sleeved, button-up shirts, dubbed Da Vinci Collection by Charlie Sheen, aims to emulate retro casual shirts inspired by 1950s rockabilly culture. The shirts feature agoya shell buttons, retro patterns and contrasting color combos. They're set to go on sale in June at GlobalRebels.com. Sheen hopes to eventually sell them in major department stores as well. $59 - $79
