LOS ANGELES, CA — TV star and fashion designer Lauren Conrad premiered her Spring 2009 Collection during LA Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week on Tuesday, October 14. It is quite a nice collection consisting of 41 looks (up 11 looks from March 2008) which include girly dresses, shorts and tops.

The Collection showed some nice ’70s boho flavour as well as some weird over-sized floral hair accessories. Overall the Collection looks LA and chic — even though we all know that Conrad’s apparel is really an inexpensive one.

NEW YORK — Don’t forget to check out Lauren Conrad’s contemporary apparel collection on your next shopping trip to Bloomingdale’s.

Apparently “WWD” and Bloomingdale’s executives are raving about Conrad’s Fall 2008 collection which is conveniently displayed on the second floor of Bloomingdale’s flagship store on Lexington Avenue in Manhattan just across from Nanette Lepore section. Conrad’s fashion line is stylish and affordable with most items priced under $200. It’s such a hit and is selling out immediately. Production can’t even supply enough to meet growing demand.

Recently there were reports circulating on the Net that Lauren Conrad was not even designer of her own collection. At some point “OK Magazine” even mentioned Sherry Wood as real behind-the-scenes designer. Conrad, however,  ferociously denied these rumors and claimed that she was very hands-on and definitely the only designer of her line.

Those who don’t have access to Bloomingdale’s can go directly to Lauren Conrad’s web site where she presents bigger selection of dresses and other apparel. Canadian residents can also check Holt Renfrew department stores.

In the other news, ‘busy bee’ Conrad is planning to add another major project to her joggling act. In addition to starring in the popular TV show “The Hills” and being fashion designer, Lauren is planning to become a writer. She just inked a deal with HarperCollins for a series of young adult fiction novels called “L.A. Candy.” The storyline will be loosely based on Conrad’s own tranformation from regular gal to celebrity.
