Fashion Scoops: In Like A L.A.M.B.

Gwen Stefani may not be staging a runway show for her L.A.M.B. line during New York Fashion Week, but the singer and designer said she was just as busy putting together a smaller presentation to showcase the new spring collection.

Stefani, who was in New York for a private event Thursday at the Schifter + Partners Showroom to introduce her handbags for the brand, said she was expecting to see samples for the contemporary collection this week and added she herself was interested to see how they would turn out.

"My mind was on so many things," said Stefani in reference to being pregnant with her now three-month-old son, Kingston, who joined her at the event in his own baby stroller designed from camouflage-print canvas. "I didn't always find it as easy to make decisions this time around. But it's really fun to have the brand to this point now. We've done so much work to establish what it's about and I am working with people who are so passionate and good at what they do that it comes together more easily."

Stefani, who is also putting the finishing touches on a second solo album, said adding accessories to the L.A.M.B. line was a real mountain to climb, but she doesn't want to stop at footwear, watches and handbags. She said she is still looking for a partner with which she can produce a sunglass line, adding: "I've always loved a good pair of sunglasses."
