Jessica Simpson Collection had its early beginnings as a collaboration with
Vince Camuto, the founder of

The list of now-defunct celeb clothing lines is long, and Jessica Simpson Collection is often cited as one of the few successful celebrity transitions into fashion. (Among others such as the
Olsen Twins' line
The Row and
Victoria Beckham's namesake line.)

The brand started with
cowboy boots ($138.60), which still happen to be one of its best-selling pieces today.

Simpson has said that she believes the brand has been so successful because of her ability to understand real women of different sizes, as she herself has been a range of sizes throughout her lifetime.
