The top female musicians with contemporary fashion or accessories lines, ranked by overall appeal.
It appears that everyone wants a slice of the fashion pie, and female vocal artists are no exception. Los Angeles-based E-Poll Market Research has provided WWD with a ranking of women musicians with contemporary fashion or accessories labels by their overall appeal. The firm asked 1,100 men and women whether they were aware of the singer and, if they were, asked them to state if she was appealing. "Having a successful fashion line can only help to extend your brand, your name and your appeal to the public," Gerry Philpott, president and chief executive officer of the firm, told WWD. "With some of these top artists, you'll notice that many of them have a clean public image." He also pointed out the vast age differences. "You've got this great mix of older and younger stars here. They all have their distinctive styles, and they are positive role models."
