Apparently, Bebe loves Kim Kardashian so much, they’ve asked her to return to their design team. This time, instead of creating tight outfits and dresses with hoods, she’s entering the world of accessories. Kim’s collaborating with jeweler Pascal Mouawad on costume jewelry, including a capsule collection for Bebe, meaning that her line will actually have a bit of legit designer influence (he’s worked on jewelry collections with Heidi Klum, Nicole Richie, Erin Wasson, and others). Kim and Pascal’s designs fall into three different styles: 1930s-inspired Lucite and gunmetal, 1960s-inspired geometric resin and enamel, and Moroccan-inspired designs. Though the first two categories sound classy and ideal for cheap costume jewelry, we’re slightly concerned about the Moroccan selections. As Kim describes it, the jewelry is perfect for dressier holiday outfits and rumors say the line includes belly chains — I guess her Christmas dinner with grandma is a bit different than ours. Kim’s jewelry designs for Bebe will retail for $25 to $250, hitting stores toward the end of this year. But she’s not done yet! Kim’s said she aspires to bring her makeup experience to the beauty world, so watch out for eyeliners and lip glosses from the reality star. [WWD] Keep reading »
