Anna Maffucci Assistant Features Editor

Celebrities and style icons are teaming up with well-known brands to create collections that anyone can afford. While there are still many more rumored collaborations, here are some amazing ones you should be able to find in stores in the near future.

1. Courtney Love and Nasty Gal:

Love, a popular figure of the 90s grunge movement, is back with a new line of clothing for Nasty Gal called “Love, Courtney.” Love gained fame for creating her band, Hole, in 1989 and she’s also known for being the widow of Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain. The 18 piece collection reflects all of this with its nostalgic and unique look. Lace, silk and simple designs are the highlights of this collection. Channel your inner rock queen with Nasty Gal this year.

2. Ariana Grand and M.A.C.:

Grande is the latest celebrity teaming up with M.A.C. for their “Viva Glam” line. Grande’s collection features a dark purple lipstick ($17) and a baby pink lip gloss ($15).

M.A.C. will donate 100 percent of “Viva Glam” proceeds to help men, women and children suffering from HIV/AIDS. Gaels can look and feel great about their purchase with this collection.

3. OPI and Hello Kitty:

OPI is back with a new line of nail polishes featuring Sanrio’s Hello Kitty. The collection includes twelve polishes influenced by the popular character.

Eight of these are different shades of pink, and the rest are colors that Hello Kitty wears, such as reds and blues.

The polishes are packaged in the trademark OPI bottle with Hello Kitty’s face printed on the top. The line can be purchased at Ulta stores for around $10 per bottle. The shades are also available for gel manicures.

4. Katherine Power, Hillary Kerr and Target:

Former “Elle Magazine” editors Power and Kerr have collaborated with Target to produce an affordable and modern clothing collection. “Who What Wear” is a style blog created by Power and Kerr in 2006.

It has grown to become a huge website, highlighting the latest trends in fashion.

Starting in February, Target will sell new pieces of the collection at the beginning of each month. The pieces are inspired by street style and are under $50 each. The collection can easily match any woman’s style.

5. M.A.C and Zac Posen:

Designer Zac Posen will be launching his makeup line with M.A.C in February. Celebrities like Rihanna and Kim Kardashian have worn Posen’s gowns on red carpets everywhere.

Posen is also known for being featured as a judge on Lifetime’s “Project Runway.”

The collection contains a range of makeup, such as a translucent powder and eyeliner. All pieces are placed in grey packing with Posen’s brand name on it.

6. Urban Decay and Gwen Stefani: Stefani teamed up with Urban Decay to create a makeup line inspired by her upbeat and bright lifestyle. The collection includes eye shadow palletes, blush palettes, lipsticks, lip pencils and more.

The shades range from dark blues to nude tones. The whole collection can be purchased at any Sephora.
