Drew Barrymore models designer range for New Look. Drew Barrymore will be the latest celebrity to bring some A-list glamour to the high street tomorrow.



The actress is the face of a new clothing range from retailer New Look, which has been designed by British Fashion Designer of the Year Giles Deacon.

Dubbed Gold by Giles, the range will include printed dresses, jeans and jewellery and much more, all modelled by the Hollywood actress.

Curvy Drew was chosen as the face of the range because she embodies a "real" woman, the store revealed. A spokesperson said: "Drew is a real icon and more importantly a real woman who loves fashion but is not dictated to by it."

The trend for celebrity style at high street prices is one that shows no signs of diminishing. It was recently revealed that pop starlet Lily Allen has designed a range of dresses for New Look, while Madonna has designed her own M by Madonna range for H&M.

Meanwhile, supermodel Kate Moss's clothing range for Topshop, set to be released in May, already has a waiting list and the date has been dubbed K-Day.

Top designer attacks celeb clothes trend Fashion guru Jeff Banks has hit out against the trend for high street stores to stock celeb clothes ranges.

The top fashion designer and former presenter of The Clothes Show criticised high-profile clothing lines created by the likes of Madonna and Kate Moss, saying that to claim the ranges had actually been designed by the stars "beggars belief".

Commenting on Kate Moss's eagerly-anticipated range which is to be launched at Topshop next month, the designer said that the fashion icon had probably just "grabbed one of her many Prada bags, rifled through her wardrobe and turned up at Topshop's head office in Oxford Street for a quick hour's briefing".

He also wrote in magazine WM that it was unlikely that the supermodel could "sharpen a pencil or draw a matchstick man".

Mr Banks was similarly critical of the M by Madonna range which has gone on sale at H&M and has been credited for boosting sales figures at the store.

However, Topshop denied the claims, saying that Moss had played a significant role in the design of the range, "from the design concept of the garments to the fitting and the logo".
