Madonna designs clothes with daughter Lourdes, Madonna's 13-year-old daughter Lourdes "did most of the work" designing her mother's new clothing line, the singer has revealed. It seems Material Girl, Madonna's 2010 juniors' line for Macy's, ought to really be called Material Girl's Girl.
Lourdes, nicknamed Lola, was introduced to fashion design by Stella McCartney. "Lola has been bothering me for ages about designing clothes," Madonna explained. "When Lola was a little girl, about 8 years old ... [Stella] started giving Lola fabrics and inviting her into her showroom and asking her opinion on things, giving her sketch books and stuff like that." As her daughter grew up, Madonna said she let her hang around photoshoots and backstage, even assisting wardrobe departments. "On this last tour she dressed all of the dancers," the singer told the Associated Press.
These days, Madonna says she is too busy to dedicate much time to fashion projects. "If Lola wasn't so completely involved in the line, designing, consulting, whatever you want to call it, I wouldn't do it," she said. "I just stand in the background and go, 'That's cool. That's not cool.'"
She elaborated further in an interview with Access Hollywood. "The most fun is when [Lola] comes into the room and ... starts going through the racks and just takes over," she said. "I just sit on the conference table and watch and let her do the work. It's nice, it's refreshing."
We suppose it is only a matter of time before the singer's other children, David Banda and Mercy James, pursue similar projects. In the meantime, Madonna scarcely remembers Lourdes is her daughter. "[When we are working] I see her more as a creative person, as an artist and less as my daughter ... And then every once in a while I remember."
