Jaime Pressly, who took home the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress last month for her work on My Name is Earl, has reached another career milestone. On Monday, Pressly debuted her newly expanded contemporary collection from her two-year-old clothing line, J’aime.
Originally, Pressly’s clothing line consisted of a simple knit collection, but has now expanded to include ready-to-wear items made from an array of fabrics, such as washed linen, cotton voile, stretch cotton sateen, chiffon and eyelet. Further marking the growth of her clothing company, Pressly recruited European designer Renee Bardot to help bring her visions to life.
Pressly’s J’aime, which is French for “I Love,†now boasts of such items as flowing dresses with satin braiding satin braiding, well-tailored pants suits, short shorts and feminine tops. In making the new collection, Jaime Pressly said that as with her original line, the main goal was to create fashion that would suit all women.
“The collection, as always, was designed first and foremost to fit and flatter the body of every woman.” Pressly said. “My goal is to design clothes that make women look and feel confident.”
On the second night of LA Fashion Week, Pressly was beaming with pride as models paraded her new collection down the runway. Her My Name is Earl co-stars Jason Lee, Ethan Suplee, Eddie Steeples and Giovanni Ribisi were present at the event, along with friend Nicky Hilton, who had a show for her Chick clothing line over the weekend, and Hilton’s boyfriend, David Katzenberg.
LA Fashion week is an exclusive, invitation only event benefiting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. This year, the city’s fashion extravaganza kicked off on Sunday, October 14, and will conclude on Thursday, October 18.
