Former Food Network star Paula Deen is expanding her brand by launching a new clothing line called 'Paula Deen's Closet.' While Deen is largely known for her Southern-inspired recipes and her love of butter, now she is hoping to make a name for herself in the world of fashion.
Paula Deen's Closet is a new clothing line that will be available from the ecommerce platform 'Evine.' The new line is based on Deen's own personal style, with items such as jackets, tops and bottoms already available. The line is designed to be comfortable and casual, at prices that do not break the bank. Deen also explains that the line is meant to cater to women with a similar body type to her own, stating "I think I share my body with a lot of women out there who are not a size 4."
While some pieces from the new collection are already available, Deen plans to continue to add items to the line each month.
