Katie Holmes for Armani

UPDATE: Even though OK! said they broke the story, Katie’s rep is now denying that this is true. Reps do this a lot and then sometimes it ends up being true anyway, but I will stay on top of the story.

It’s official and OK! got the scoop. They reported earlier that Katie was working on a clothing line with Armani with hope’s to introduce it by the year’s end. They can now confirm the deal and it will be called: Katie Holmes for Armani. This really is a first for such a high-end name. Never before has such a huge fashion name teamed up with a non-professional designer.

Sources say that “Right now this is Katie’s life…She is extremely excited about it.”

Who is Katie’s fashion inspiration?

Katie’s muse in her new endeavor is none other than her daughter, Suri, who turns 2 next month. As OK! previously reported, Katie, 29, designed the adorable polka-dot dress the toddler was photographed wearing in Paris last year. “The first clothes will all be things she could imagine Suri wearing,” confirms the source.”

Katie Holmes for Armani will come out over the next 2 years starting with a collection for toddlers. Following that will be a line for older children, handbags and a women’s collection.

What’s a Katie Holmes piece going to cost you?

The Katie Holmes for Armani collection will be comparable in price to the Armani ready-to-wear line,” the source says. “It will be sold in stores like Saks, Barneys New York and Neiman Marcus. We’re talking very upscale: less expensive than Armani PrivĂ© but more than Armani Exchange. These are going to be very high-quality clothes. We’re not talking cheesy Jessica Simpson stuff.”

Well, a little over my budget so I’ll just have to admire from afar. *sigh*

Is this the end of Katie’s acting career? Sources say no, that just because she is dedicated to fashion, does not mean the end of an acting career. Yes, this Armani line is her number one focus right now as far as her career goes. Also, Tom is her number one fan and is supporting her in this endeavor.

I can’t wait to see the clothes!

    well all, I have been trying to post- did 4 posts a couple days ago, ALL got stuck in “moderation”.
    I will continue to ck this site and try to post but look forward so-o-o-o much to Libra’s site where we can speak our minds uncensored!

    Libra, I agree. I might sound harsh, but I didn’t KNOW my grandparents. When first my grandmother passed away last year, I tried to convince myself that I loved her because of our blood ties. I then had to come to terms, via a long process that I felt regret more than other feeling because I didn’t know her. Yes, I will always be fond of her, but I can’t honestly say I LOVED her. The same story went for my grandfather who passed away last month.

    I think what people are commenting on, and have been on this site for quite awhile, are the NUMEROUS photos of suri in freezing weather with no coat and often short sleeves, while her parents both have heavy coats on.

    And you’re right anne…NO ONE on this board “LOVES” suri………no one KNOWS her…you kind of have to KNOW someone to LOVE them, don’t you think????

    I have seen Suri wear coats so many times that I wonder what this discussion is about, the blue one, the purple one, the red one (my favourite), the checked one….etc. Infact I remember someone commenting that her red coat costs more than some people’s entire wardrobe yet she is going to out grow it anyway.

    Other times, it takes a short time from their car to a hotel and she is not going to die without a coat for two minutes, I usually notice Tom holding it.

    She seems a strong minded child and she has been pictured screaming and throwing a fit. I doubt you can force her to do certain things. Any one who has child understands what Julie is talking about, a strong minded kid can be difficult at the age you can’t spank them or in public where you can’t spank them.

    Still I doubt the people here commenting on Suri’s coat love her so much that they are concerned about her welfare as we all know they are not.

    Well I know I could not get my girls into them for the longest and then in the spring could not get them out of their coats. LOL

    I can’t get my 4 year old to wear a coat for anything. I had the same problem with my oldest child. Then, I realized that they were hot natured like me, lol! My daughter would scream the entire time she had a coat on and I thought she was nuts, or possibly possessed. :) Later, I realized she was just down right hot.

    I loved the polka dot dress too. Very cute.

  8. By concerned mom

    I am not certain why Suri never had a coat on, but some of the outfits she wore in Paris–I loved the polka dot little dress -were totally cute. I loved raising little girls. In the 70′s we had a little tiny pink rosebud pattern on the little dresses.

    I stand in agreement. As long as I can post a comment, I’m not going to be “run out of town” so to speak.

  10. By lemon227

    Yeah, she’s fashion conscious alright. She would have on a coat protecting her body from the elements and that child would be uncovered. You are also right about the impracticality of the kid’s clothes. You hardly ever saw her in a pair of jeans or something comfortable. I know when my son was that age, comfort was a necessity. She’s two not 22!!

    Wow, am glad you guys have found your own site honestly. I wish you the best. As this is now a fan site, it defintely is not a place for you. Good luck my dears.

  12. By Battlemama

    Seriously Libra, that would be too fancy for the Amish.

    I feel neutral about the dress. My girls had one similar to it, but I didn’t like it because of the dark colors. The sweater is soft. I like little girls in white sweaters at fancy occassions! But, again, not for loafing around Paris!!

    Also, for loafing around Paris, nice slacks, shirt, tennis shoes would have been better…especially on a cold, rainy day. But, I am more practical and Katie is more fashion/camera consciuous.

  13. By lemon227

    Amish line!! Ha Ha!! Good one.

  14. By Libraesque

    WHAT? about the amish clothes??? that’s the first thing that came to mind when I saw suris outfits in paris…so ugly for a little girl..ugly dresses and old lady cardigans..BLEH!

  15. By concerned mom

    libra you are so bad. LMAO

  16. By Libraesque

    well ladies, I’m now the proud owner of TomKatAreCrazy, and I promise once the site is up and running you’ll be free to post anything your little hearts desire
    FREEDOM!!!
    I see you don’t have to log in anymore….that’s interesting and should please Anna, Anne, Ann, Helen, Helanne, Helanna and Tia

    okay ON TOPIC…I wonder what kind of Amish inspiration katies clothing line will have

  17. By lemon227

    I agree with your comment Julie. When my son hurts, I hurt. Sometimes I wonder if I hurt too much, but it all comes with the territory when you decide to be a parent. I wouldn’t trade it for nothing. In fact, it’s hard for me to really imagine what my life was like before my child came on the scene. He was once caught up in some mess, and believe me, I didn’t get much rest!! God bless all the caring parents on this blog and in general.

    Just a quick note: There are obviously going to be some comments on here that don’t agree with Tom Cruise’s beliefs or what kinds of things they do with Suri as far as pr, etc. I will allow people to have opinions, but like I said before…it needs to be respectful.

    It’s when other commenters start bashing other’s opinions that it gets out of hand. Let’s say what we feel, but not call each other names because of a different opinion.

    You will all have to bear with me. I am new to this blog, obviously, and am trying to reinvent it as a place that brings you un-biased news. I imagine it will have a mixture of fans and non-fans who just want to see what this couple is up to.

    I will do my best to stay on top of the comments and not let them get out of hand.. I hope this can be a place that anyone who is a fan or is just looking for the latest tomkat gossip, rumors or whatever, can enjoy.

    Do all the comments have to be “I LOVE her shoes!” No, but if I do post a story like, ahem, Tom Cruise not considering IVF, there are going to be all kinds of opinions. Mine included, but my goal here is to blog about this couple and be respectful about it.

    I hope what I am saying is making sense and that we can find a nice balance here. If there ever is a comment that pops up and it’s uncalled for, please shoot me an email and let me know. I can’t catch them all as they happen. That would make me a hermit who never leaves my computer. :)

    Hope you are all having a great day! It’s almost the weekend. w00t!

    @Concerned mom – I couldn’t agree more about the children of celebs and how they should be protected. I can’t imagine being a celebrity and listening to what others say about my kids. You can say whatever you want about me, but don’t mess with my kids!! :)

    @looika – I just found that article and posted about it too. I wonder where she’s hiding?
