Beyonce launches active wear line for women

NEW YORK — Beyonce is launching an active wear line for women next month.

The singer announced the 2016 spring/summer collection Thursday called Ivy Park. It’s a collaboration with Sir Philip Green of the retail giant Arcadia Group. The collection will be available April 14.

Beyonce said in a statement that she lives “in my work out clothes but I didn’t feel there was an athletic brand that spoke to me.” She said she wants the collection to “inspire women who understand that beauty is more than your physical appearance.”

Beyonce also launched IvyPark.com and released a video showing the pop star modeling the new clothes. Her daughter, Blue Ivy, also appears in the video.


The line will be available online and in Topshop stores, Nordstrom, Selfridges and others.

‘Gossip Girl’ star Leighton Meester arrives for fashion show

“Gossip Girl” star Leighton Meester is in Manila for a series of promotional activities for a local clothing line.
The 26-year-old American singer-actress arrived from Japan on board All Nippon Airways flight NH949 at 9:30 Friday night at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport terminal 3.
Wearing casual clothes and no makeup, Meester did not face the media as close-in security prevented reporters and cameramen from approaching her.
Dozens of fans also failed to meet her after waiting for her at NAIA terminal 1. They had received a tip that she was arriving from Narita on another flight.
Meester, who plays the privileged Manhattan socialite and fashion plate Blair Waldorf in the hit teen drama series “Gossip Girl”, is in the country to endorse the fashion retail brand Penshoppe.
She is the latest international celebrity and the second “Gossip Girl” star signed up by Penshoppe to its All-Stars roster, which includes Zac Efron, Ed Westwick, Mario Maurer, and “Vampire Diaries” star Ian Somerhalder, who arrived on May 19.
Meester is scheduled to do a photo shoot, hold a press conference, and grace the Penshoppe All-Stars show for the Philippine Fashion Week on Saturday at the SMX Convention Center.
