Katie Holmes and her design partner (and stylist) Jeanne Yang debuted their new fall collection for Holmes & Yang to editors yesterday in an intimate setting held at the Palace Hotel in New York City. The collection was inspired by working women and mothers, Yang told InStyle.com after the show, an inspiration that lent itself to go-anywhere pieces for day and night and a wearable beauty look created by Bobbi Brown (fittingly, as Holmes is the face of the brand). “The best thing about our collection is that it does not need a lot of explanation,” Yang said. “The clothing speaks for itself.” It does—but it also speaks to Katie’s style, and she’s already eyeing some of the pieces she co-created for fall, like this plaid pencil skirt with an off-the-shoulder top (above left). “It is very flattering and shows off a woman’s elegance,” the actress said of the look.

Runway Looks We Love: Holmes & Yang

Sep 13, 2012 @ 3:15 pm

Katie Holmes and her creative partner, Jeanne Yang, put together an urban-chic collection for spring 2013 dotted “with fun hidden details, like a silk lining or little studs,” says Yang, and the pair want you to get the most out of their designs. Their mission, to create timeless day-to-night pieces, translated into slouchy silk blazers, glazed leather coats, sweetly printed dresses, and a floor-sweeping maxi skirt. As the designers describe it, “each piece becomes modern day armor that allows the wearer to feel beautiful and confident.” Mission accomplished. See our favorites in the gallery!

Katie Holmes Wants You To Look Skinny and Hot

Sep 12, 2012 @ 4:42 pm

While Katie Holmes the actress, is busy prepping for her latest Broadway production, Katie Holmes the designer is all about you. “We as women spend a lot of money on clothes, they better make us look skinny and hot,” Holmes told InStyle.com at the Holmes & Yang presentation this morning at New York Fashion Week. Her partner Jeanne Yang reinforces the importance of looking amazing—and also looking yourself. “You can be that girl that throws on a tough leather jacket,” she says. “But you can still be really girly.” And a tough leather jacket is actually Holmes’s most-coveted piece from the collection. “The quilted leather jacket [is my favorite]. What I love about it is that it’s masculine and feminine. I would wear it with jeans and a t-shirt, but I’d also put it with a little black cocktail dress, and shorts for the weekend.” And a wide range of ladies consider themselves Holmes & Yang women. “A couple of seasons ago, we had a girl buy our maxi dress for her prom,” Holmes tells us. “Then the same dress was sold to a woman in her sixties who was going on vacation. It was really nice to see that happen.”
