FASHION: BEYONCE & MOTHER LAUNCH ‘HOUSE OF DEREON’ DURING LONDON FASHION WEEK

September 19th, 2011

Just as New York Fashion Week ends, London Fashion Week begins and one of the early unexpected events of the week long festivities? Beyoncé and her mother Tina Knowles held a runway showing of their fashion label, House of Deréon.

The tribal inspired collection featured bold prints, flowing skirts, texture in the form of feathers and intricate fabric weaving, and of course “bling”. Some models wore pieces shining with gold sequins, while others donned layers of gold jewelry.

(VIDEO + MORE PHOTOS & INFO BELOW)

Beyoncé and Mama Tina had the support of several UK celebs who came out to sit front row, including Alexandra Burke, rapper Chipmunk, and Rochelle Wiseman and Vanessa White of ‘The Saturdays.’

Peep the gallery for a sample of Deréon fashion both on the runway and behind the scenes. You can also check out the interview with Beyonce & Tina Knowles above.

    Both Tina and Bey look FAB. Bey is just glowing away she looks adorable. And she better work that runway. I like the 2nd to the last outfit and the 9th one, not sure where one would wear it to but they are nice.

      I agree, I didn’t see anything I would buy & wear to ANY event. The clothes were not trendsetting or classy like Beyonce said they would be.

    Beyonce & ‘em are good with music. Fashion is NOT their thing. This Dereon stuff always looks bad. I like how they put the accent in the name to try to make is French. How about House of Derriere.

    I don’t like any of the clothes the models wore. However, Tina’s outfit is banging, and is it just me or does Beyonce not look pregnant. IJS

    ITS A SHAME BEYONCE CAN NEVER “TURN OFF”, EVEN IN THE MIDST OF BEING PREGNANT. CAN SHE PLEASE TAKE A BREAK? THERE IS NOTHING EXCITING ABOUT HER ANYMORE. AND TINA’S FACE IS STRETCHED TO THE MAX. #THATISALL

      LOL. Funny you’d say “there is nothing exciting about her” yet her concerts were selling out in 22 seconds…and HIGH CLASS FASHION DESIGNERS WERE FRONT ROW AT HER FASHION SHOW.
      Beyonce has that “it” factor…people care about EVERYTHING she does. How is that ONLY her pregnancy broke twitter and google search record?? It’s one thing to dislike her but stating your opinions and passing them across as “facts” is wack. Oops

      Shanelle, girl bye…Beyonce’s “intimate” concert DID sell out in 22 secs, but you and the blogs fail to mention that it was a small venue…not an arena, honey…quit playing. Hell, Janet’s concert did the same thing, but that was a small venue too…Beyonce wouldn”t have sold out in no damn 22 secs if she was performing at an arena and u know it. I will agree that Beyonce’s pregnancy did hit the road running like wildfire but so what? The clothing line is wack and people are tired of her…the only ones that keep her career alive is the damn media and her stans. She doesn’t have that crazy effect on folks like she did years ago. She IS talented as shit, dont get me wrong, but she has no competition and really never has which is why she’s lived this long. Rhianna giving her a run for her money tho….but she can entertain better than RiRi anyday, but that’s not my point….but i like the girl…I do…I’m just keepin it real. She seems nice.

    She doesn’t look pregnant or maybe she under 4 months instead of over

    Tina Knowles legs look too skinny & bow-legged in those tights. She need to stop trying to dress so young, unless she trying to get her a young man. Otherwise, she is a beautiful woman to be in her late 50′s!!!

    THESE PIECES ARE FOR/FROM BEYONCES STAGE SHOWS. THE AVERAGE CHICK IS NOT GOING TO WEAR ANY OF THIS MESS. BEYONCE IS TOO CAUGHT UP IN HERSELF TO EVEN REALIZE THIS SMMDH. #THATISALL

    No matter how hard they try, Dereon will never be high fashion. Gremlin & Voo.doo mistress of ceremonies has trout mouth and can’t even move her face. What a fowl fool. I wonder if the ever settled the lawsuit against them for stealing designs & ideas from other designers for their line.
