Max Azria & Miley Cyrus team up for Walmart clothing line

I stopped by Walmart last night to pick up my usual Walmart stuff – toiletries, snacks, stuff for the kitchen, etc. – and noticed a sign that read ‘Miley Cyrus & Max Azria clothing‘. Max Azria?! As in BCBG and Hervé Léger? It couldn’t be! But lo and behold, there was a giant banner of Max and Miley, smiling from ear to ear.

Walmart actually brought the two together to create the line for the Miley Cyrus Concert Tour this summer, of which Walmart is the title sponsor. The Miley Cyrus & Max Azria clothing line is only available at Walmart and includes tops, pants, shoes and accessories, all priced less than $20. Most pieces are even under $10. I checked it out and while the clothes looked exactly like what Miley Cyrus and her rock-and-roll tween set would wear, I have to admit they weren’t all bad. The collection consisted of predictable but cute pieces like latex-style and denim leggings, graphic tees, and colored stretch denim jeans and pleated miniskirts, a few silent scream-inducing pieces like stirrup pants (yikes!), but also some surprisingly chic vests, chiffon ruffle blouses and tie-dyed tanks.

From Walmart:

Miley Cyrus’ rock-and-roll roots influenced many of the looks. The line reflects a continuation of her relationship with Walmart, where she is among the retailer’s top-selling recording artists. “I love creating looks that are all about personal expression and individuality,” said Cyrus. “Collaborating with Max Azria has been an amazing experience, and I’m really excited about launching this line with Walmart. There’s even more to come!”

“Miley Cyrus is talented and approachable, so working with her sparked a line that is authentic and vibrant,” said Max Azria, designer and CEO of BCBGMAXAZRIAGROUP, Inc. “By partnering with Walmart, we saw an opportunity to reach mainstream customers with our product and introduce our designs to a much broader audience.”

What are your thoughts on the collection?

Complex drapes, folds, pleats and ruching were highlighted throughout the collection, with it’s origami-meets-futuristic space-age constructed sheaths. Velvets, shimmery jersey and brilliant matte satins were the fabrics of choice.

The Heart Truth Red Dress Collection at New York Fashion Week

This was my first time attending The Heart Truth’s Red Dress Collection 2009 and it was an amazing way to kick off fashion week. Stars who usually sit front row were front and center on the red catwalk, donning stunning red designer dresses to raise awareness about heart disease in women.

Twenty celebrities strutted their stuff in the show. Following an introduction by Project Runway’s Tim Gunn, Amanda Bynes opened the show in Daniel Swarovski, followed by Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling, of Beverly Hills 90210 fame, in Badgley Mischka and Betsey Johnson, respectively. Then out came actresses Nia Long in Tracey Reese, Natasha Henstridge in Verrier, Vivica A. Fox in Jenny Packham, model/TV host Daisy Fuentes in Pamella Roland, Wonder Woman Lynda Carter in Carolina Herrera, and Patricia Arquette in Nicole Miller, followed by singer/actress Hilary Duff in Donna Karan and Katie Couric of CBS Nightly News in Carmen Marc Valvo.

The crowd was treated to animated dances down the runway from Cicely Tyson in B. Michael, Dancing With The Stars co-host Samantha Harris in David Meister, Valerie Bertinelli in Christian Siriano and soap opera megastar Susan Lucci in Gustavo Cadile.

Athletes got in on the glam act as well, with figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi in Vera Wang and Olympic gold medalist Nastia Liukin in Max Azria both modeling in the show.

Celeb spottings: Christian Siriano (Project Runway), Miss Jay (America’s Next Top Model), Gerard Butler, Marcus Schenkenberg, Peter Facinelli.

About The Heart Truth:

The Heart Truth created and introduced the Red Dress as the national symbol for women and heart disease awareness in 2002 to deliver an urgent wake-up call to American women. For the first time ever, a selection of the designer dresses seen on the runway will be auctioned online in February through a partnership with Clothes Off Our Back. The Red Dress reminds women of the need to protect their heart health and inspires them to take action. Each February since its launch, the Red Dress symbol has come to life the runway with the support of the fashion industry and celebrity models at the Red Dress Collection Fashion Show.
