With the downfall of her marriage has come the uprising of her career in fashion. Enter Holmes & Yang, the fashion label created by Katie Homes and Jeanne Yang. Their range has seen limited publicity since its launch in 2009 but it was recently announced that Holmes & Yang will, for the first time, show at New York Fashion Week this September.

So what can we expect from Ms Holmes’ range??

Well it’s fair to say that Holmes & Yang is definitely wearable fashion and it is always good to see at least one thing on the catwalk that you could actually picture yourself in! The pieces are classy, clean and elegant. In fact, the overall feel of their collections is not a million miles away from that of Victoria Beckham’s. But where VB’s clothes have a certain wow factor - wearable but undeniably high fashion - Holmes & Yang doesn’t stand out in the same way.

There are some cute skirts, pretty camisoles and particularly nice bags (their collaboration with Valextra is their stand out piece for us) but Holmes & Yang doesn't scream "send shivers up your spine" signature fashion.

Nonetheless, there is one thing we are certain of - Ms Holmes herself knows how to sport her own line! There are few occasions when you see Katie Holmes not looking super stylish. 


SO even though we are not blown away by what we have seen so far we are excited to see what Holmes & Yang pull out of the bag at NYFW this Autumn! (We have a feeling we are going to eat our hat on this one!)
