It is not a game with the Knowles family. The ladies have pulled another clothing line from under the threads and its coming from straight from Momma Tina…or “Miss Tina” that is.
Tina Knowles’ new clothing line debuted this past weekend on HSN (Home Shopping Network) and I was able to catch glimpses of it. I can say it actually looks pretty good and very stylish for her target audience:
Tina on her clothing line:
“I love the fact that the sizes go all the way up [2 to 24],” said Knowles in a statement. “There’s a forgotten woman who wants a pencil skirt, too, or a blouse that’s a little lower cut.
“Beyonce has backup singers who are full-figured women. Being a woman over 50, I try to think about the things I have going for me and the things I want to hide, like my arms. I’m giving them options with shrugs. I’ve been a stylist for so many years, I know how to accentuate the positive.”
“Accentuate the positive”…I like that…
Here are some looks from her line, that include shoes and accessories. The prices are pretty affordable as well, ranging from $69 jeans to $200 handbags.
yawn
I dont think that i would buy any of this stuff, well maybe a few select items,… ok I am being a hater its all cute
i get so freaking tired of reading about that hulion {human/lion} Tina..dang why can’t she juz b a normal parent and get rich off her kids…..
If people will buy it why not. You cannot live off of your child forever @2. I do not know if I would put my mother in her clothes but I am sure someone will find these threads cute.
Sorry I meant at 3 not 2, but yeah I feel you at 2.
The Knowles are smart people. They are all able to start businesses on the strength of Beyonce. They’ll be rich forever.
It is also a good thing that Tina is catering to all types of women from small to big, older to young.
okay number 4 u rite..u kan’t live off ur kidz forever but shit she alreadii ancient..she mite az well live off her kidz…
Why “Miss” Tina? Isn’t she married?
Wait I just looked at the line, no still not interested in any of it. And I wish she would not pimp her stuff as couture or a taste of it. To be couture you actually have to study an Italy and receieve some special acknowledgment as a couture dress maker, you cannot say you are couture just because you want to sell your threads at a major price. There are less that I think 100 couture designers in the world and Miss Tina aint one of them (using aint for emphasis). The one… has spoken.
i love how to ranges in sizes. that’s a good thing.
I think the outfits are cute…However, I agree w/#9 why is she saying everything is coture….maybe so she can slap a fat price tag on it…..& where is the big model so we can see how these clothes look on a size 24………
When will this madness end? Next thing you know, Baby Daniel’s gonna come out with a line of camoflague bibs, pacifiers and onesies. At some point this ish has got to stop.
Are you serious??? The Knowles clan is too much…I ain’t mad at them though Mama Tina wanna get paid too lol.
Some of this is cute.
I don’t know what’s wrong with some of you, but why would they stop making money? Better get it while the getting is good.
I love how they range in sizes……….YaY just 4 me !!!!! they maybe to rich 4 my blood cuz Im tryna work and pay 4 school LOL yall know how dat be
The clothes look aight. They should have named the line “Mama Tina” instead of “Miss Tina.”
This stuff is wayyyyyyyy better than Beyonce’s line.
Okay I must say that I hate the HOD line. It’s looks lil cheap.
But this stuff from Miss Tina a very cute and sassy. I like it. Good looking Mama Knowles.
I would wear most of that!
It is nice to see that she caters to all shapes and sizes. I wish her much success
)!
The Knowles were rich before Beyonce and before Destiny’s Child, I thought they were already millionaires from the parents two businesses and that’s what helped them set up their DC boot camp training thing they had going on for the girls to develope. My point is these people have always known how to make money and do business and capitalise.. Its not like Beyonce just came and made them rich. I think i remember reading they almost went bankrupt putting everything they had into creating and launching DC and Beyonce’s careers. Now they’ve got a higher platform to springboard theirs shit.. Only black people try to bring their own down when it comes them showing these types of smarts. Its like we don’t realise this is what white people do to create wealth. Why can’t we just see it as anything other than smart??
I hate when people dilute the word couture..Couture pieces are of the finest material, finest of cuts…putting an expensive price tag on an outfit does not make it couture.. the clothes for me seem very dated…it feels like she is trying to recreate fasion pieces from 4 seasons ago… + this woman SCARES the hell out of me.! But hey somebody will but it…
miss tina looks a helluva lot better that house of dereon. that stuff looks like clothes you can get at forever 21 or charlotte russe… for WAY cheaper
Those outfits look quite nice actually.
My ONLY concern is that headshot of Tina. WTF? It looks like she’s advertising something for the health-care system, with that boring background and bland font.
oh and PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSEEE tell me what a “spicy, creole-inspired silhouette ” IS..! FOR GOD’s SAKE WE GET IT..creole, jumbalya, the French Quarter…DAMN!!! Talk about overkill..!!! Im not BLACK…Im CREOLE..!!
I’m so sicka Beyonce n her mother. The House of Deron’ is cute I give them that but their goin over board wit all dese otha clothing lines. Shit her stuff iz more money than Baby Phat, and Kimora’s line is way betta
Watched the show lastnight and her clothes are really cute. Tried to order a few pieces but they sold out in my size. Really like the jeans, but they are cut a little bigger than normal, so I’d need a 2 and she doesn’t carry that size in the jeans. Was able to get the red jersey dress and will be interested to see how the quality is once it finally arrives (it’s on extended delivery). Must say that I much prefer this line than the HOD or Dereon lines. Those lines seem to cater to teens and twenty somethings who want to look like they’re in a music video. The Miss Tina line is definitely something I would rock. Good luck ‘Miss Tina’.
I never understood why Black people are so quick to down talk one another. Which is very sad for a race of people. Blacks need to celebrate the fact that black designers are trying to come up in businesses in general. The black race is a disgrace. It will never prosper:( I applaud Tiny!
As #9 and #21 stated Miss Tina’s stuff ain’t couture, and she’s abusing the word by associating it with her HOD lines. I’m not gonna knock cos i love seeing black people do well and this line ain’t as bad as i thought it would be, but she needs to leave the word alone.
I study fashion and i know that to be a couturier and for your clothes to be considered as haute couture you have to be based in France (although there is one couturier in america, and 1 or 2 in Italy) and use the best of the best when it comes to fabric. you should only have a certain number of staff that hand make the clothes-couture is NOT mass produced.
Miss Tina’s collection doesn’t look that bad but it’s not hot either.
I’m luvin da shoes though!
It’s banal, ugly and the purses are knock-offs of Gucci, and the design is from years ago, too…. ???? Her stuff looks about like anything else you’d see on HSN, though… It’s boring, conservative, mass produced fluff… I wouldn’t wear it to hell…
@27 and 20, NO ONE SAID MISS TINA COULDN’T MAKE MONEY, my issue is with the quality of her clothing line. It is not couture nor should she say it is or a replica for the poor masses. Hell I am sure no one in here could or would be stupid enough to spend 10,000 and up on a dress, I would not and I make a good living.
If you want to get black and politic, we need less new threads and more in our heads.
How about launching a publishing company that promotes black writers and gives voices to spoken poets who cannot get published in America because less then one percent of publishing companies are owned by our people.
Same old same old, in the black community, lets make money off the poor by selling useless overpriced cheap clothing shoes and purses. God forbid we do it by diversifying our product to build our communties. How about you launch a housing community development project where you build affordable beautiful homes for the working class instead of the super rich or poor which is more then 60 % of our community, we do work as you like to tell us, no one is hating on Mrs. Knowles, but damn do we need another clothing line. I cannot wait for Solange to come out with her teen line, or Mr. Knowles with his Kat-Daddy threads, wow that is just what we need.
Let me get off my soap box..the one has spoken.
not feelin it at ALL! i agree with SWEETNESS looks lyk the whole line id very dated ….the whole miltary coat thing is so 2 winters ago and god FORBIDEN the disc belt!…..oh lawd $200 for the handbag? cld get those down the market for 4 £4.50 oh pls…..
NOW I LIKE THIS COLLECTION. IT’S NOT GAUDY AND OVER THE TOP LIKE H.O.D. I WOULD DEFINITELY WEAR THESE THINGS…
If your thighs are rubbing, you should NOT own a pencil skirt.
nice clothes on this line. but dereon is wack to me.i don’t really see too many folks in dereon, but i’m from the south {new orleans}so it might be big other places.why? i don’t know.why she always gotta let it be known she creole…like i’m not african american…i’m creole…damn.
LOL I was watching it last night. At first when I say “Miss Tina” on the schedule, she immediately came to mind but I was like “naw that can’t be her” but then i was flicking through channels and saw her sitting there.
I don’t understand why she wouldn’t just promote HOD because it looks EXACTLY the same but at a MUCCCCCCCHHHHHH affordable price-point *well not really after you consider the tax, the shipping and the handling—— u may THINK u’re buying one of her shirts @ 79.00 or sumthin’ but at checkout, u’re looking at $100 spent on one item*…. Some of u mite not consider that so cheap.
Either way, they all look the same. Kelly even called in @ one point and kinda claimed for Tina that all her stuff were oh-so-authentic and well made cuz she was with her thru the whole process of preparing for the show… I don’t kno if I believe all that but she was doing a good job of vouching for her..
Maybe Miss Tina will finally get some credit for this line… Good luck to her…
It’s all cute…but I would rock the second pic in the second row under the red dress, the boots are cute and all the bags off of their arms and the gold pumps off ole ladies feet are hott…..GOOD LUCK TO HER
I think this line has more to offer “grown and sexy” women. I really wish Haters would fall back. U have the right/option not to buy the clothes, u have the right to an opinion. But u do not have the right to call someone names, demean their apperance or make “assumptions” about her motivation for making money. Tina NEVER said she wasn’t Black, read the whole interview. She said being of Creole Heritage influenced her life in lots of ways. That is the equivalent of saying “Im from the Boogie Down or Im a Southern Shorty”. In no way at all does that take away from a persons RACE. It gives props to how you were raised. Stop Hating on the Knwoles and study their business sense, come up on a come up and then prepare urself for all the HATERS u will encounter.
I saw this on HSN last night and I was so grossed out by these clothes! They were awful! I’m sorry, I don’t care what your name is….if your clothes don’t look good, they just don’t look good.
anotha clothing line catering to white women.
Some of the clothes are nice, but they’re no different than what I already see in the department stores…
Making a mogul out of the name… I ain’t mad at that.
I MUST SAY I’D WEAR SOME OF THIS !!!!!!!!!!!
SO GET IT DONE MISS TINA BEACAUSE IT’S MUCH BETTER THAN THE HOD STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please check the facts b4 u make a statement. The Knowles, Beyonce and Kelly both individually purchased 2 apartment complexes in Houston to house Katrina victims (all living expenses paid while waiting 4 FEMA to come thru). When Food Banks were depleated in Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas, the Knowles quietly made TREMENDOUS donations thru their Church and did not do any publicity around it. Several Boys and Girls clubs in Texas have updated equipment and computers courtesy of the Knowles. Proceeds from DC concerts have benefitted these foundations;, Ronald McDonald House, Dress for Success, Komen Foundation, Unicef, United Negro College Fund. Matthew and Tina employ lots of African Americans in their various business ventures. Get it together people! You never see Immigrants or Whites downing their own or not supporting the businesses of their own kind.
Tina please stop! This Creole nonsense is annoying. And your style is sub par.

Thanks for setting the record straight. Why should blacks not hold one another up to the same high standards that whites hold themselves? Bless the Knowles for their obvious business acumen, but I do believe they get as much praise as they do criticism. That’s part of the game.
As another post stated, Tina’s use of the word “couture” smacks of blatant ignorance. That offense ALONE makes her suspect and I applaud the posters on this board who called her out.
@#27 LOVEONE
You watch to much Soap Channel. Talk about dramatic. And cut it out with the blanket statements on the black race. Shit sounds just as ignorant as the whole couture thing.
Smart decision. “Miss Tina” collection will do real good. Her collection belongs on QVC, HSN, Oprah Magazine, Style Network and Life Network. Her marketing targets are for the working class. I have nothing but “good” remarks to write.
Tina Knowles should do better than Nick Canon, Kelis and other R&B clothing line.
Nothing sold on HSN is real couture. These clothes are obviously for the more mature woman who sits at home and watches QVC and HSN all day long as a hobby, and there are plenty of women across the country who do just that. She’s targeted the right consumer.
OOOOOO give it a rest mama knowles! your taste sux!
I hate the Knowles’ gawdy style, but I have to admit, I am feeling the black cape, and it’s so affordable that I just might buy it. It’s one of the biggest trends for the fall.

Am i the only one that thinks this line is not selling like….AT ALL. I have honestly never seen anyone with those clothes and i really think they know that and thats why their trying to find so many ways of selling it overseas or (now) to bigger consumers.
I think Tina is doing her thing to be her age I mean she designs clothes for her daughters and a whole lot of people. Some of yall don’t give her the credit she deserves I mean she ain’t mean to nobody and she does what a mother is suppose to do and she ain’t living off her kids because in a thing about beyonce’s life she said they had money but had to give it all up for their daughters dream. Now that’s a real mother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol@them thinking they were gonna be versace-like……haute couture my ass!
Tina Knowles did not ask to be creative when she landed on this earth.
She was born with this gift and clearly she is using it.
Now nothing is new under the sun and what she did was put alittle spin on dated fashion.Think about this, people are rich today only because of their creativity and passion for whatever talent they have invested in.
Think about what your passion is and start to invest because it will make room for you.
peace and prosperity
man,they seem so money hungry and snooty to me dont even know why,they are just in it for the money they want to create a empire like diddys or jay-z on their own terms so they can be all on top of forbes and shit greedy and money hungry how much money do you need dammit.i would be living for the rest of my life with a 1\4 of they money see they arent appreciative they dont know what its like to be poe like normal people if i was as rich as them i would try to give to charities cuz i know how it is needing money.they dont give a damn bout nobody thats why im not a bey fan.she just loves herself.
Congrats to Miss Tina. This line is right up there with the rest. She’s doing her thing.. And is very talented. I think people need to cut her some slack, she’s just doing what she knows best.
looks like easy pickins clothes to me…
btw those bags are HIDEOUS
I always knew Mrs. Knowles looked like something but I could never quite put my finger on it. Well here it goes.. lol

The Knowles family are doin it big. The whole family is working. Soon baby Daniel will have his own line of clothes.
Do the damn thang Mama Knowles.
Shyt if Paris Hilton’s ass can launch her own line, why can’t she?
They ain’t tryin to be broke and I am not hatin on that…
