Hollywood stars have always furthered fashion’s cause of seducing the masses into buying designers’ clothes by acting as living billboards. Now, red carpet celebrities are no longer content to just advertise and are putting their names on labels that reflect the image they—or their stylists—created.

Teri Agins charts this strange new terrain with wit and insight and an insider’s access to the fascinating struggles of the bold—type names and their jealousies, insecurities, and triumphs.
