Cindy Crawford launches her first ready-to-wear clothing collection

She told lainformacion.com: "I have always dreamed of having my own fashion line and am thrilled to be partnering with C&A on this venture. It is important to me to be affiliated with a company that offers feel-good fashion with an unparalleled customer offering. My goal is to help design comfortable fashion for everyday wear."

The Cindy Crawford @ C&A collection features a selection of casual items including thick cardigans, T-shirts, skinny jeans, leather jackets and classic blazers which have been designed to be comfortable yet stylish.

She added: "Like many other women, I prefer to wear fashionable clothing that is comfortable. But also lets me be look great as I do the everyday tasks like taking my kids to school, attend a meeting or meet with my husband for dinner."

The affordable range of 31 items starts from as little as £9.50 and will be launched in over 1,500 stores across Europe including in Germany - where C&A is based - and Belgium this autumn 2012.
