It seems today is a day for singer and designer collaborations. Hot off the news that Amy Whinehouse is teaming up with Fred Perry comes the announcement that queen of pop Madonna will also be collaborating with Iconix Brand Group Inc.

The singer will be teaming up with the company behind labels as Badgley Mischka (a favourite with Dame Helen Mirren) and Candie’s (as modelled by Britney Spears) to launch her MG Icon Range of clothing.

And her first foray into the design world will be a Junior Range, w aptly named Material Girl, which will be sold in Macys from August, and includes clothing, footwear, bags and jewellery.

However, we won’t have to be struggling to get ourselves into these, as next year the designer will also be creating something for the “grown ups” and will extend her range to beauty and fragrances.
