celebrity HOMe Kylie Minogue The pint-sized pop princess, 44, has designed her own range of lavish bed linen, embellished cushions, indulgent throws, and even curtains. The couture collection, created for department store House of Fraser, is every bit as pretty and glamorous as the singer herself. A heavenly mixture of chocolate, caramel and cream silky duvet covers adorned with beading, sparkle and textured trims, makes this a must-have collection for those seeking some luxury in their lives. Kylie has pointed to ‘travels and vintage finds’ as inspiration for designing the range. ‘I was totally hands-on with the design,’ she says. ‘I invited the team to my home and walked and talked them through some of my favourite design and furnishing elements of my place.’ brANd: Kylie Minogue At Home cOst: Pillowcase from £10 Verdict: Kylie’s collection is the ultimate in girly glamour Visit: www.houseoffraser.co.uk Jennifer lopez Latino actress and pop star, 42, has designed her own home products’ range which mixes old Hollywood style with a luxurious and contemporary twist. Launched in September 2011, her bedding range will add a minimalist yet sleek and sophisticated look to your home and the deep, striking colours ooze luxury. When talking about the approach she took to designing her collection – it also includes a bath range and luggage – J.Lo says: ‘One thing we concentrated on so much for two years before we launched the product range was really breaking down what my style is. I believed this was something that the customers and general public would expect from me.’ Words: Jessie bland | PhotograPhs: PA Photos | stoCKIsts: Go to pg 273 brANd: the Jennifer lopez collection cOst: egyptian cotton pillowcase from £42 Verdict: Pure egyptian cotton bumps this range into the realm of genuine luxury Visit: www.kohlsjlmafallcollections.com 268 | AUGUST 2012 http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk http://www.kohlsjlmafallcollections.com
