No Doubt About Design

Gwen Stefani was one of a few celebs making the rounds at the Paris fashion shows (Sharon Stone, Marianne Faithfull, Tilda Swinton, Kylie Minogue, Roman Polanski, Malcolm McLaren being the others). But Stefani wasn't just preening for the press. The girl was working.

Seems that Stefani is the latest famous face to enter the fashion fracas. No Doubt's frontwoman is launching her own label. Stefaniisn't interested in just knocking off a few T-shirts and warm-up pants. The singer insists that she will really design the label and, in fact, is already complaining about producing seasonal collections.

"It seems so glamorous and fun until you have to start thinking about keeping to the seasons," Stefani said at the Dior show.

"I've just start working on my collection and I'm learning fast that it's a real drag. I hate having to be on time."
