German supermodel Heidi Klum and denim label Jordache are all set to introduce a new capsule collection named “Heidi Klum by Jordache.”
Liz Berlinger, president of Jordache Enterprises, says the idea for Heidi’s own clothing line came last eyar at the photo shoot for Jordache jeans in Hollywood. Apparently, she thought Heidi was very verbal and aware of her likes and dislikes, so a clothing line reflecting her tastes came as a natural outcome.
Klum, 34, is said to have provided Jordache with some of her favorite pieces from her own wardrobe, which was the main source of inspiration behind the new line. Heidi says she looked the like as something busy young mothers would want to wear.
“She was very sensitive to wanting the line to have a sexy edginess, but not be too revealing,” Berlinger said. “She paid a lot of attention to details.”
‘Heidi Klum by Jordache’ will initially be a 20-piece collection, with the theme Naughty and Nice. Sources report that the emphasis will be on premium denim in blouses, luxury knit tops and sundresses. Embellished tops will be included in the line, and are expected to retail for $80 to $250.
The launch will take place in April exclusively at Bloomingdale’s.
Heidi has been going great runs, after having clearly regained her famous figure after birth to her third child with Sean.

Spice Girls star Victoria Beckham is set to bare all for fashion designer Marc Jacobs in a new T-shirt range for his skin cancer charity.
But for Jacobs, 44, it didn’t come easy. He had to do some convincing to get Victoria, 33, to agree to strip for his 2008 Spring/Summer collection. A source close to ‘Posh Spice’ said:
“Victoria loves Marc’s work but she wasn’t entirely comfortable with getting naked.
“Marc went all-out to persuade her. And when she heard about what a great cause it was she knew she just couldn’t turn it down. The picture she and Marc have chosen is amazing – sexy but tasteful.”
As could be expected, this is not the first time Jacobs is getting a celebrity to get naked–Julianne Moore, Dita Von Teese and Naomi Campbell all got naked for his T-shirts in 2006, which reportedly raised about $60,000 for the skin cancer charity. That Victoria’s raunchy pose will take this year’s higher should be safe bet, since the T-shirts are expected to sell for $20 each in Marc’s stores. (The 2006 line of T-shirts sold in the designer’s stores for just $5.)
Considered a fashion icon herself, Victoria is a fan of Jacobs’ creations. Recently the British pop superstar was seen at the Victoria’s Secret fashion wearing a Marc Jacobs creation to the pink carpet.
Dakota Fanning, Meg White and Michael Stipe are some of the other celebrities who have endorsed the Marc Jacobs label in the past.
Meanwhile, Victoria and her fellow Spice Girls – Melanie Brown, Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton, and Melanie Chisholm – are set to kick off their reunion tour in Vancouver, Canada tomorrow.
