Beyonce takes on fashion design

Beyonce's lavish wardrobe is about to get even bigger: The singer-actress now has her own fashion label.

Beyonce and her mother, Tina Knowles, who already styles many of her daughter's on- and off-stage outfits, announced a joint venture to create a contemporary women's brand with Arthur and Jason Rabin, founders of manufacturer Wear Me Apparel/Kids Headquarters.

The name of the new brand has not been released. The label's first sportswear collection should be in stores in 2005, with an eye toward eventually expanding into accessories, jewelry, lingerie and swimwear.
