Madonna designs heading for the high street
Madonna – the world’s highest earning female performer, worth an estimated £165 million – still has time for a few little jobs on the side.
Working closely with the Swedish fashion chain H&M, she has helped to create a high street collection closely based on her own glamorous wardrobe staples.
The range, M by Madonna, goes on sale next month and includes chic belted trench coats, an elegant black jersey maxi dress, a fitted, 1970s-inspired bomber jacket – one of Madonna’s signature looks in recent years – and skinny black trousers.
This is Madonna’s second collaboration with H&M. Her first, a track-suit that went on sale last summer amid much publicity, was regarded by many as a flop.
The 48-year-old singer has worked with fashion designers from Jean Paul Gaultier to Stella McCartney during her career and ignited more style trends than any other performer.
H&M, which celebrates its 60th anniversary this year, has boosted profits by hooking up with big names including Karl Lagerfeld.
