About The Collection

The Fall stuff by hilary duff collection combines street verve in unexpected shapes and details with vintage charm. Shorts are the newest silhouette for the Fall collection in both denim and tartan plaids. Denim minis and jeans borrow a little spirit from the boys by patching tie stripes and plaids. Minis are worn with leggings, the collection's key layering piece. The Fall collection uses pin tucking details, lace trims and sequin embellishment in a casual handle using jerseys and pointelle. In addition, the line offers trompe l'oeil necklaces and cameos decorating tops, tees and denim jeans, jackets and skirts. Hilary Duff's first Fall collection delivery Broken English redefines plaids and argyles by overprinting tartans with gothic graphics and crests. Specialty knit fabrics embellished with novelty graphic icons such as skulls & crossbones softened with traditional florals are also used.

The new Fall collection is available at several thousand retail outlets in the United States now at Wal-Mart with accessories at Claire's and then later this month at Kohl's, Goody's Kmart, Target, Limited Too, JC Penney, Sears, AAFES, Boscov's, Burlington, Club Libby Lu, Gordman's, Gottschalk's, Marmaxx, Meijer, Shopco, Stage Stores and Toys 'R' Us.

Hilary Duff has emerged as the design force behind her stuff by hilary duff label, plunging into all parts of the design process. She meets often with her new creative director Geoffry Gertz and her New York-based manufacturers for product development, researches in vintage stores, selects at print studios and maps design strategies for coming seasons. Hilary and Gertz kicked off their design collaboration by meeting extensively in Milan and London for inspirational research. Her original taste has developed and been enhanced through her active research with street fashion, flea markets and clubs, as she interprets emerging trends for her vital and growing young customer base.

Hilary Duff has assembled a team for design, marketing, promotion and sales of her new and expanded stuff by hilary duff label. Overseeing the label is brand management firm The Robert Thorne Company, which collaborates with Hilary in spearheading her fashion, beauty and home product lines and her online and promotional initiatives, overseeing production, sales and marketing. "Hilary's the tastemaker of her generation, a talented and intuitive young woman who's earning much-deserved credibility as a designer," said TRTC's Thorne. "She has real designer instincts and works tirelessly to set just the right trends at the cutting edge for her customer." As her new creative right hand, Hilary engaged creative director Gertz, a 20-year veteran of the international fashion business, having overseen an $800 million fashion line before joining Hilary Duff, to help manage her in-house design team for her rapidly expanding global fashion business. Said Gertz, "Collaborating with Hilary is a joy. I love her contemporary vision for fashion. Mixing vintage details with edgy modern design is fast becoming Hilary's signature for affordable 'tween' couture."
