Dannii Minogue to launch clothing line

We’re all aware of Dannii Minogue’s love for fashion after watching her strut onto the X Factor stage in a series of striking outfits. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise to find out that she’s now planning to launch a clothing line with her friend Tabitha Webb, founder of the handbag company Tabitha bags.

Most celebrities choose to go down the collaborative route with an existing brand, which might have something to do with the helping hand the company gives them with the designing side of things. But Dannii’s chosen to start a completely new fashion business, with their first collection planned to come out for Spring 2010.

As Dannii recently pointed out, she doesn’t have a stylist for X Factor (while Cheryl does), so maybe her fashion skills will extend to designing, too. She’s definitely been pulling off a huge variety of looks for X Factor, and has sometimes managed to put Cheryl Cole in the shade. We’re really looking forward to seeing what she comes up with: judging by these two pictured looks, a few full length gowns could well be in the collection…
