Introducing…..
Filed under: Personally Perez > Fashion Smashion
Very VERY exciting news!
Notorious blogger and "Queen of All Media," Perez Hilton, can now also call himself a 'designer.'
On Wednesday, Perez announced plans to introduce a clothing and accessories line, to be sold exclusively at Hottopic.com and in all Hot Topic stores nationwide.
Perez Hilton for Hot Topic will feature women's t-shirts, hoodies, accessories and footwear. Hilton, who's real name is Mario Lavandeira, said the decision to put his name behind a line of clothing and accessories seemed like a natural next step.
"2008 is all about expanding the Perez Brand," the blogger explained. "I talk about clothes all the time on my website. I have a good eye for what's hot and what's not."
Perez, who says his celebrity website, Perezhilton.com, is more popular than MySpace among women aged 18-25, said he can't wait to share his new line with fans.
Hilton's site has reached remarkable heights as a "go-to" for celebrity gossip, despite a consistency of snarky comments and crude drawings he is famous for inserting over photos of prominent and some not-so-prominent celebrities.
Hilton says the success of his website encouraged him to look beyond the boundaries of cyberspace.
"It seems natural to make products that my readers will love and hopefully some guys will rock it too," he said. "Some people might even call me a perfectionist, well that person would be me! I'm very passionate about my brand. I have extremely high standards and I like to get my hands dirty!"
The line, which debuts on June 6, will range in price from $1.75 to $46, and will include products like Gossip Gangster Flip Flops, Perezcious Pink and Purple Lip Gloss and P-Nasty Shades–just to name a few.
The celebrity blogger also plans to sell tote bags, socks and earrings, and says fans will even be able to buy their own Perez Hilton journal, so they can be as nasty as P-Nasty himself.
"I'm most excited to finally see on the shelves products that are good and affordable for my readers," Hilton said. "I actively sought out Hot Topic for that þreason."
And if you think Perez is following in the footsteps of other Hollywood starlets who seem to be attaching their names to anything and everything, think again!
"I keep seeing these lines from the likes of Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag that give me nightmares," he says. "My brand will be very conscious of my audience."
Well, it wouldn't be true Perez style without a little dig at the end, now would it?

I'd rock the plaid pants
LOVE IT. Work it, girl! It's good to finally have someone actually care about the consumer.
YAY first bitches!!
the skull hoddie is totally cute. i'd wear it
But Perez, although you're not bad at picking good music (must help to receive prods from music executives), your clothing sense is odd, at best. Anyway, good luck.
congrats, perez! it's actually pretty cute!
1 first
wow first
and after all the shit he talks about celebrity lines. ha!
nice stuff
Haha, you're a fat loser
Step right up, step right up! Get yer sweat shop goodies here while they're hot!
Too bad "we" are so full of "ourselves." "we" certainly don't have an eye for fashion when it comes to "our" own clothes now do we?
Next will be the perfume line.
Earn it while you can I guess.
first bitches wooo
the line looks v TRASHY may one say but artistic
Congrats Perez!!! I can't wait to see it, buy it and wear it.
Nice to see your dreams coming true!!
Keep being the superstar that we all know you are!!

Yay!
Wow them clothes look so great perez ,im deffently buying that hoody yum yum yum xxx
Great News! Design clothes for beautiful plus size women too! Because we LOVE You.
well, it seems as if your doing what you mock other so called "celebrities" for doing…"expanding their brand"…makes sense…people who take your journalistic talents to heart will surely flock to your merchandise, which I'm sure will be of the highest quality (barf)…considering your keen insights when it comes to fashion in general (see all the uproar you cause when fashion commenting…with people telling you you have your taste up your well worn ass), Id say this shit will sink quickly…even the dollar stores won't touch it. but you are living the american dream, fatty.
wow!! i hope yours is soo much better than heidis!
You're a smart guy Perez. $$$
jumped the shark

first
SOOOOOOOOOOOO excited perez!! LOVE YOU!
wow, how original. ANOTHER clothing "designer"
Perez is looking good…you have inspired me to start working out !!! i dont know if i would wear the color combos but im sure there are other people who will be able to pull it off! cant wait to see the other pieces
honestly perez, this is way to hipocrite EVEN FOR YOU
He is cute. He is now dating some hot girls he met through 'million airefrien ds com'. Rumor? Believe it or not! Is he looking for a serious relationship or just for fun?
i must say… i kind of like it.
I can't wait!!! I love perez!
Wow! that's so cool! I'm so proud of you Perez!
lol wtf
Congrats…make funny t-shirts!
www. myspace . com/darvoset
KICK ASS BAND!
You've officially jumped the shark.
You only get to sell out once. I guess this is it.
at the end of the day you are like the rest!
first
Sweet! That's AWESOME! Congratulations!! Those plaid pants are amazing!
how could you sell out like that? you are becoming the epitome of your work.
Congrats Perez!! I can't wait until we can get our hands on it!! SOOO EXCITED!
I FIND IT FUNNY HOW YOU TOTALLY HATE ON AVRIL, YET YOUR FASHION COMPLETELY SCREAMS AVRIL! LOL
I likey!!
Will they be available in the UK?
Hey, I actually LIKE THAT! That's what the young kids are wearing. I love that hoodie. Hot Topic suits you… I don't mean that as a bad thing!
i dont get you perez,
you go on about lauren, hedi, mel c's clothing ranges and say how shit they are (well, they are) but you say that no self respecting 'celeb' should have a clothing line, or that really its 'wannabe' stars who are just looking for ways to get more money for when they go down the shitter, and your doing EXACTLY THE SAME, YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE!!!!!!!!!!! seriously, you have changed so much, dont call yourself P-NASTY because youre just P-THETIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats, PH. I love how you are holding mannequin boobie in the photo, btw.
However, just like "Here We Go Folks!", I too am concerned about the prodution conditions of your line. Are you using sweat shop labour?
Good LUCK AND CONGRATS! VERY EXCITING!!! Now, what about TORRID? big girls need cute clothes too!
LOVE IT!!!!! I'm SO gooing to buy A LOT of your clothes, girl!!!
What's printed on the shirts? Cum drops falling out of your mouth, or dicks being shoved in your ear?
That skull hoodie is really cute, but to be honest it all looks a little "Avril Lavigne-ish". I have a problem with the t-shirt with the gun on it though..you have been posting recently about all these accidental shootings and you even post in bold letters "GUNS KILL" isn't that a little hypocrital and irresponsible?
I LOVE IT! I can't wait! I will proudly sport the Perez brand!
Enough with the 3rd person shit, Perez. Come on.
I hope he makes them in PLUS sizes because I am sick of other "designers" only making clothes in small and XS!!
Is it going to be available in Canada???
You've gotta be kidding me, what's the difference between THIS and what Avril Lavigne wears?? You dress like a fat rainbow brite, and you even promote Agyness Deyn, of all over-rated rough models. What the fuck do YOU know?
I'm so proud of you! I will definately support your new line..rockin' it fresh to death everyday!
Why would you put guns on your clothing?!?!?
Retailers and garment manufacturers are accountable for the conditions of workers who sew their clothes. Do your part to end sweatshops!
Clothing with a union label can ensure that the garment was not made under sweatshop conditions. Unions enable workers to establish collective bargaining agreements with factories that outline the conditions that workers and management agree to.
Look for the union label. Would you put your name on a piece of clothing without knowing the conditions it was made under?? Come on, Perez!!
DANG Perez! Your body gets smaller while your name (and your honkin' wallet!!!) gets bigger! I'm really proud of you…like you're a personal friend of mine or something…and know what? Ima peel off some of my just-for-Mama money and get me some flip flops! You look beautiful, Sug! Keep up the hard work!!!
I can't wait!!!!
PLEASE….make the shirts, hoodies, etc. REAL long. Ya know, not short so it rides up and shows my baby fat. The longer styles (to the hips or longer) are definitely cool and comfortable. I'd buy yo shit fer sure!
WOW … You are a FUCKING IDIOT … I am now officially over you and instead of telling people how funny you are, liked I USED toI be telling them what a twat an SUPER-HYPOCRITE you are!!!!
WHAT SHIT PEREZ!!!!
Hey Perez, it looks like something Avril Lavigne would wear.
Guess I can't shop at Hot Topic anymore.
you'll make money off this so i don't blame you for doing it..
but you look like a total asshole, too for all the shit you talk on everyone else for doing it. and i don't understand how its any different from lauren or heidi? what you said didn't explain it at all. you were just talking.. it meant nothing, i'm embarassed for you.
but you will make money so thats good. i guess.
Im sorry Perez, but you really can't pull this one off! You don't know anything about fashion. Its not as easy as it looks! Im a little bit insulted by your attitude towards it.
Are you fucking kidding me?
ew fkn ugly ass emo clothes. no thanks
They look like they were designed by an 8 year old
what a jerk, you make fun of everyone else and their enterprises, but then have one of your own. I like the stuff, but agree with others, why the gun? Talk about no moral responsibility!! YOU talk the talk but do not walk the walk. What a hypocrite. you are becoming too commercial. I hardly like you anymore. YOu are not humble enough. Thats when we really loved you.
Now you were just complaining about all these celebrities who had fashion lines. You are such a hypocrite……
OMG, Perez. For all the haterade you spill on others about their clothing lines, it sure takes big brass ones to start your own line. I don't know whether it's incredibly stupid or just brave. Whatevs.
I just never thought I'd see a clothing line that would make Heidi's look good. LMAO!
Totally makes me not want to come to this site anymore.

Good luck perez!!! I hope the line does well.
Re: Randi –
Your comment is so cute, you totally represented my meaning! GO PEREZ, YOU ROCK!!!!!
) WE LOVE YOU
Well, you are officially a total sellout! I will still probably stop by Hot Topic to check out your stuff though…
That shit looks like something Avril w/e her name wears.
Umm Perez not to be rude but did you go to design school for 4 yrs if not leave the fashion up to the pros because to be honest you really don't have an eye for fashion…you're just trendy…and trends fade fast.
Perez, as a bigger guy, will you recognize the larger women out there and offer your line in plus sizes?
CONGRATS PEREZ
It's very Avril Lavigne.
"I have a good eye for what's hot and what's not."
Oh that's the funniest shit evah. Your taste sucks gay balls!

Oh Perez, you are extremely unattractive.
and you put GUNS on your shirts, why?
way to cross over to the complete sell out side.
Yay!! When is it coming out!
Homeless chic…
ew. who helped you design this shit? avril lavigne?
perez, I know i have said this before, but now we are officailly breaking up……its not me, its you.
FUCKING SELL OUT.
Perez turns into Lauren Conrad…just please…I don't need to see your fucking beef curtains
Why would you put a huge gun on your shirt when yesterday you had 'guns kill' on one of your postings? And what's up with the charitable donations postings lately? I don't mind reading about non-celebrity news here and there, but don't push your political and philanthropic agendas onto us, like you care about anyone but yourself! How much did you give to charity last year in comparison to what you earned from all the radio, advertising, and whoring yourself out to VH1?
THANK U P-NASTY FOR MAKING AN AFFORDABLE CLOTHING LINE!!!! I SHOPS AT HOT TOPIC ANYWAY…SO I AWAIT THE CHANCE TO SHOW OFF UR NEW DUDS CONGRATS!!!! PS MY MAGAZINE WANTS TO INTERVIEW YOU AND HAVE YOU AS A POSSIBLE COVER…WHERE/WHO SHOULD OUR INQUIRY GO TO?
MUAH* POET
Perezito at those prices I'll buy some pieces from you. Just keep it real with your fans and we will support you. If you put crap on gthe shelves we WILL let you know
MUAH!
LOL, I won't be caught dead in a Hot Topic.
Puh-lease..please DON'T SELL OUT PEREZ. TREAD CAREFULLY!!
THEY ZOMBIES HAVE BITTEN YOU!….lol.
