Amanda Bynes Launches Clothing Line

TheShowBuzz - New York, NY, USA - Actress Amanda Bynes says girls of all ages shouldn't have to make empty their wallets to look their best. On Thursday, the 21-year-old officially introduced her apparel and accessory line, Dear, in New York at Steve & Barry's, a casual retailer.

Shoppers will be pleasantly surprised when they check out the price tags from the Dear collection — every item is priced at $19.98 or less. But Bynes said affordable doesn't mean dull.

"I wanted a clothing line that made affordable fashionable, because it is really hard when you're in school and maybe your parents can't afford or won't let you get the expensive clothes and you still want to be wearing the hip thing. I think that it's now hip to have affordable clothes," Bynes told The ShowBuzz.

Bynes jumped on the affordable bandwagon by following in the footsteps of fashion icon and "Sex In The City" star Sarah Jessica Parker, who recently launched her apparel line, Bitten, and NBA star Stephon Marbury, who launched his apparel line starbury, at Steve & Barry's.
