Check out highlights from the interview below.

The Material Girl line has a vintage feel to it — does your style come from a similar place?
Definitely. I think I take my style from all walks of life, and all generations and decades of life as well. I love mixing ’50s with ’80s and classic with punk. And i think that’s what this line embodies. It allows you to rework the same pieces in different ways so people don’t realize that you’ve worn it before. I mean, I wear the same thing all the time — if I’m at home, I’m in sweatpants. I don’t care. But when you go out, you want something that’s versatile.

What excites you the most about being the face of Material Girl?
To have Madonna ask you to be the face of her brand, that’s the coolest thing ever. As a young girl who grew up idolizing her and thinking that she was the be-all and end-all of how women should be, being the face of Material Girl is the greatest honor I’ve ever had.

You’re a member of the Fashion Police, but what’s the worst fashion faux pas that you’ve personally committed?
Sweat stains on clothes! I’ll never be one of these girls who could walk into anything and say, ‘I can do this!’ I always get nervous. I always get scared. I’m even nervous about judging these girls for this contest! You never want to disappoint, you never want to say that wrong thing. I get nervous and then I start sweating. People literally interview me on the red carpet and I’m like dabbing my top lip, trying to be subtle about it. I’m like oh my God, get me out!

So do you get nervous when you do a taping of Fashion Police?
No, because Joan is just so funny! We’re like a family now. It’s mainly a comedy show based on fashion and it’s one of those things where you have to have a sense of humor about yourself.

“Over the past several years, I have been approached countless times to create my own brand,” said Madame Ciccone. “The timing is right and I have found great partners in Iconix, who can help translate my vision to reality.”

Iconix CEO Neil Cole seconded that emotion: “After the highly successful launch of the junior brand Material Girl, we knew there would be a tremendous demand for a brand that Madonna herself is the face of and that truly captures her essence.”

Lady Madonna is already developing a scent with noted celebrity perfumer Coty and will eventually roll out footwear, handbags and intimate apparel.

L.A. Triumph claims they hold original trademark rights since their Material Girl juniors clothing line has been sold through Nordstrom and other retailers since 1997. Madonna’s Material Girl, on the other lace-gloved hand, launched just last year.

Madge tried to argue that she was the senior user, having recorded the song some 26 years ago for her Like a Virgin album and basically originating the term, but Judge S. James Otero rejected that argument.

So come mid-October, Material Girl is going to court. L.A. Triumph is seeking unspecified monetary damages and an injunction to force Madonna to change the name of her clothing line.

“Experience has made me rich and now they’re after me.” Truer words were never sung, Mme. Ciccone. [WWD]

I truly think both girls were amazing choices for the brand but this season Kelly adds a certain freshness with her cool. I know I can’t wait to see more images from the campaign coming soon. Speaking of coming soon I can predict that these garments are going to sell out at the department store once they hit the shelves.

The label’s blog announced on January 11th that they were “desperately seeking” a new Material Girl and yesterday they confirmed that Kelly was indeed  their Lucky Star:

“We are so thrilled to announce Kelly Osbourne is the the new face of Material Girl for 2011! We’ve had a long time crush on Kelly and featured her as one of our ‘cool peeps’ over the summer.”

Not only is Kelly someone young girls can and should look up to as a style icon, but she’s not likely to flash her boobs in a half-hearted attempt at so-called rock rebellion.

At least not these days. She’s a lady now.

” Our goal is to create an environment inspired by Madonna’s vision and high standards of what the ideal gym would be.”

Hmm… I have yet to know how I feel about this and the price tag that of course will be tied to this little Hard Candy Fitness Paradise.

but at least we know that it’s all M’s idea… “My Touch Is Everywhere”- Madonna

Macy’s even launched a huge campaign which begged the question “Who is that girl?” You can tell that it will definitely be Momsen from the clandestine video below. I would hate to take the fall for this mishap.

Hey Fashion Fans, here’s your first look at the design inspirations for Material Girl, Madonna and daughter Lourdes Leon’s new juniors collection set to debut in Macy’s stores across the country on Aug. 3.

It’s quite Madge circa 1984. Looks like The Material Mom’s bringing back the decade of big hair and door knocker earrings in more than just a song. The back-to-school apparel collection — which will range in price from $12-$24 — will also launch footwear, handbags, and assorted accessories.

This is a collection that I like, as well as understand…..It’s very “Madonna,” and certainly the kind of designs that I would expect, based on the fact that she has a teen-aged daughter. I can hardly wait to see the entire collection, as I’m sure that there will be some great mix and match pieces that will easily integrate with other wardrobe items. I look forward to see lots of studs and rhinestones!

Word has it that Madonna’s upcoming fashion collection, Material Girl, will come equip with a beauty line and fragrance. Material Girl, created by both Madonna and her daughter Lourdes Leon, is set to hit stores in early 2011. I guess her rumored fragrance in ’07 is coming a bit later than expected, but better late than never!
