Beyonce and mother to sell outerwear

NEW YORK, March 13 (UPI) -- Beyonce and Tina Knowles say their New York clothing line -- House of Dereon -- has signed with the G-III Apparel Group for a collection of outerwear.

"We want to launch an extraordinary outerwear collection for the holiday season," said singer Beyonce Knowles.

The young contemporary women's line is expected to be ready for holiday delivery to specialty and department stores across the country.

"Beyonce and I are so thrilled to add G-III to the House of Dereon team!" said Tina Knowles. "My daughter and I are enjoying every moment as we put together what we hope will be a truly incredible collection for the young women's contemporary fashion market."

Music and fashion have always gone hand in hand and this line will demonstrate once again that there is a significant audience for not only Beyonce's performances, but also her style, said Morris Goldfarb, G-III's chief executive officer.
