Beyonce and Tina,
Good luck to you both! I know this line will be very successful! I truly look up to you, Beyonce. I saw you on OPRAH (hey mama!) and I wish I had a good strong mother like you. You are blessed and I’m glad you are aware of that. Thank you for staying true to yourself and your fans. I love you. Much respect. I will try my best to support H.O.D. Just A little over my budget;)
Please I just show the oprah show and the price is ridiculous.$110 at least for a pair of jeans!!! please, students also need to dress up.We are not going to the grammys.
oh i just saw oprah’s show, and saw tina’s and beyonce collection. How i love every one of them. Please please let me know when its coming out and what stores

I think the fashion line is fabulous; just watched Oprah (11/11/05). The only thing that irritates me about fashion lines is that the AVERAGE person a) can’t fit into those clothes and b) can’t afford those clothes. I’m in college, heading to law school. Why does the fashion industry think that $100 for a blouse is REASONABLE? What about the 90% of the country who doesn’t make millions? I think those in fashion need to think about the majority of people and not those with fat pockets. Otherwise, I do think HOD has beautiful clothes, just pricey.
I AGREE!!! I was saying te same thing!! That’s exactly why Oprah said “You have to get a job”, because she’s knows that’s not reasonable.

I had no idea about this new line, until today on Oprah. I assumed it was going to be a HOT Mess like the rest of her unfashionable designs. I must say ladies, I was very impressed! I look forward to purchasing something in the very near future. Finally, Tina understands the difference between SEXY & SLEEZY….
girls what u waiting on, about time u bring out the hot stuff girls love ya taste BAD BAD BAD hurry up on come out man.
Beyonce & Ms.Tina,
Congrats on your new success. The clothing line is beautiful. I’m a mother of two boys who like to dress down most of the time because I cant find clothes that suit my personality or style. I love how H.O.D. collaborates the past w/the present. If you have a model search looking for an everyday women to model. I will be one of the first in line.
What are you guys talking about? Stuff is overpriced, tacky and ugly shit. What’s with that gir;’s negligee looking thing? Is that meant to be worn outside? For real?
For those prices, they won’t be getting any of my $. Esp for ugky shit like that to begin with. Beyonce’s dress on Oprah’s show was illfitting. Too small for her. Mama T’s – a hot ass mess too,
I’m doing my own make over and plan to do it in syle HOUSE OF DEREON’.
I LOVE THE CLOTHING LINE POEPLE WHO THINK YHAT THE CLOTHING LINE IS EXPENSIVE NEED TO STOP SHOPPING AT THE GAP AND STEP THEIR GAME UP. STEP OUT THE BOX.
i agree with some of you, i heard about this line on e-news and was excited about this, so i checked in, and agree, we average people who’s salary is not huge, cant afford this line, i’m not saying, sell items dirt cheap, but come-on, $110.00 for jeans….PLEASE, we un-city people, cant afford them, but we still want to look classy, and up to date, i love how she looks and no offence, but come on she makes millions. sell to the middle folk. we just want to look just as fab. as her.
I am feeling you Becky. Beyonce is my girl but $100.00 for a pair of jeans is a bit much. A large majority of DC fan base is adolescent girls and young women that are not making that kind of money.
Made in Hong Kong???????????????
Not to high spirited there Byonce.
Im not to excited anymore. Having little children make my jeans just to save a few bucks is not my style!
sorry!
I would love to become a part of the design team for the House Of Dureon.
Ya, I agree that having the clothing made in HongKong is a real turnoff.
Boo!
Some of the clothes were quite alright. And i did noticed Mrs Knowles get a lil irritated when Oprah made the comment about people need jobs to purchase. She should be embarassed. Before she become rich could she have afforted the highly over-priced-so-call-good-quality-fabric-fashions. These prices are clearly exploitation of our people. All of us do wanna look nice, but we all have futures and retirement to worry about. And not to mention the rising cost of gas. I guess they’re counting on those ignorant sistas who’d rather be carring her last dollar on her behind than in a Roth IRA, or pay rent late and shop. I’m sorry honey but some of us contrary to your beleif does possess some common sense to know when we are being hoodwinked and bamboozled.
Props to Oprah for the “you need a job comment” This crap is way overpriced and they are using sweat shops at that!!! Miss Tina should be embarrased by saying her clothes are affordable… HA!!
Congrats. I can’t wait. Love all ya’ll ladies..Number 1 fan 4eva.
I too saw Friday’s episode of the Oprah Winfrey Show wit Ms. Beyonce and Tina Knowles. I was very excited about the “House of Dereon” clothing line. The clothing is very different & unique, just like me. I liked a few of the pieces that were shown, but some of them were a bit outrageous, i.e. the lingerie dresses, which Oprah so clearly noted. Also, the fact that the pair emphasized the affordabilty of the line was bogus, also cleverly noted by Oprah. And Ms. Tina Knowles’ transparent annoyance with Oprah’s remark clearly dictated that the clothes are NOT reasonably priced for everyone. Possibly the price for the clothes are reasonable to Beyonce and her mom since they pay thousands of dollars for their gowns. However, something we not so rich people should note, this is one way the rich stay rich! They invest. The best thing to do is buy items that do fit your pockets and I am an avid coupon/sale shopper. You can find Donna Karen, J-Lo, David Bitton, etc. for half of the price and I am sure that once the HOD line is up and running, they will be added to the sales rack. It may be a while, but a true, fashion sense shopper knows how to wait for a bargain. Happy shopping.
I love love love love beyonce so i know that her fashion line is going to be off the chain so beyonce plz make it aforable for people in the urban areas
I absolutely lovvvvveeee BEYONCE’ and I think of her as my big sister. I relate to her in so many ways especially with fashion. I have always admired her, as well as her style, which was created by her lovely mother Mrs. Tina Knowles. I wish the team (Mrs. Knowles and Beyonce’) much success and send my blessings. Although I missed the Oprah Winfrey episode with the two on there, I heard that the clothing line will launch this month and I will definetly be one of the first to wear an outfit byHouse of Dereon. Best of luck and GOD BLESS your family through this new journey.
-Your biggest fan
I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Beyonce and just Destiny’s Child in general. I’m have to meet her before I die…and dats the truth. Ms. Tina Knowles do what u gotta do wit ur clothin line and make it reasonable so u can cater to all…Get ‘em, ladies!!…
-I truly am ur biggest fans evr…
Thank You Mrs. Knowles!! I have always loved your work. Beyonce’s clothes are always sharp, tasteful, classy, sophisticated, and unique. I used to always say, “I wish she had her own clothing line!” I will definitely purchase your clothing. I’m so excited! I’m short and petite with big boobs, so I’m hoping there will be something to compliment my figure. Keep me posted on where to purchase these fashions, possible sales, and new products. May be you’ll consider shoes and jewelry in the future as part of your House of Dereon Fashions. Good Luck and God Bless.
I am happy that this is finally happening. Maybe you would make my wedding dress. I ‘ll try not to push it
(i.e bridal line) May the good Lord grant yo success.
I am a fan of Beyone’s style…SOMETIMES! She doesn’t look fantastic all the time and while her clothing line is a great business opportunity for herself and her mother, there is no need for the prices to be as high as they are. Clearly the Knowles’ are not trying to sell the Black community, which happens to be her widest fan base. Ms. Knowles is all about crossover success and that’s where her mind’s at.
I HAVE NONE ABOUT DESTINTY CHILD GROUP EVERY SINCE ,I SEEN THEM SING AT PHILLIS WHEATLY HIGH SCHOOL.YOUR TALENT COMES VERY RARE. I WAN TO KNOW THE BIGGEST SIZE YOUR SHOES YOU?HAVE SIZE 11M
DONT FORGET ABOUT THE PLUS SIZES
St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Third Ward, Texas would be honored if the Knowles ladies would allow us to show off the clothing line at the next annual fashion show this April.
You can buy the clothing line at http://www.FamousStyle.com I can’t wait to get my jeans!!!
I think that the ONLY reason they are going to make it is because they are skinny and beautiful and NO i dont think that this clothing line is for the thick girls! Dont let them lie to you.
Go beyonce!You and yo’ momma Tina is a wonderful mix I can already tell.I would love to find out about modeling for House of Dereon.
I’VE BEEN ANTICIPATING THE LAUNCH OF HOUSE OF DEREON…. BUT I’M FROM THE WEST COAST AND BEEN TO EVERY DEPARTMENT STORE AND NO ONE’S CARRYING IT YET!!!! WHERE CAN I GET SOME HOUSE OF DEREON?!?!?!?
i want to know if she is gonna make the clothes for size 2′s or for us plus size queens too.
I’m just wondering, since Beyonce is curvy will this finally be a hot fashion line for the sista’s with big booty to be able to slide in without trying on five pair only to get yo’ mama to take it in a little at the waist. If so? where and when can A big booty sista establish a credit card. Okay!!
hi
i’m from jamaica. i love bk and hope she’ll ship some of those clothes to j.a or even open a store (i’ll manage it). i do a little designing myself. so get in touch. i’m only 18. 1876-871-1798.
I just saw your article in the Ebony Magazine, and you and your mom are just beautiful. I think that it’s such a good idea that you want to bring a since of class back to black women in America. I applaud what you are doing and I will purchase clothing from your line because it’s a true reflection of me. So many young women in America think that being beautiful means being naked, I believe that there is a time and place for everything, and going to school and work, are definitely not the place for being dressed in club attire. So, you go GIRLS!!!
Much love and God Bless!

I know Beyonce’s clothing line will succeed, but the question is is it affordable?
I’m glad there are finly jeans that can fit girls with booty and hips. I think they are a little pricy but Its worth having pants that fit you right in the back end.
First of all your title stinks!! House of What?? R U 4 real?? Please girl, ain’t nothing u make worth 100.00. I know your family and u don’t even talk to your cousins. Y dont you let them model for u? Y u don’t put them in your videos?? Is it cause you stuckup???
I think Beyonce and her mom are opportunists. They are trying to capitalize on Beyonce’s music success. When Solange, her sister, didn’t make good with her album, it appeared as if they through her to the curb. As well as the other Destiny’s Child members. I don’t like it. I don’t support her. I never have. Don’t let the beautiful face fool ya….she is out for HERSELF.. and herself only. After all of the money that she has made.. why can she not give her groupmates a chance? Greed, would be the answer to that. She can AFFORD to make her line affordable, she’s not broke. The truth is that she doesn’t care if we, the consumers, are broke or not as she cashes her bank funds. Some of us are getting carried away with celebrity. She’s quit Destiny’s child, about to appear in the Pink Panther(is she even an actress?), has a makeup line, and is about to come out with a design line. All the while her and her mother are bragging about how she is a “triple threat”, well there have been plenty of triple threats before her… queen latifah, halle berry, OPRAH… Beyonce is NEW to this.. recognize..she ain’t no pioneer. And also, I don’t like people that pat themselves on the back. Let others do that. The point is, you’re rich. You finally made it( after getting rid of almost of your whole group along the way, who probably were trying to say that you were being selfish and wanted all the limelight. NEVER heard of groupmates turning down the opportunity to make millions of dollars unless something is just not right.) Your dad and mom always make YOU stand out.( check any photo that Beyonce has ever been in.. she is always wearing something different, or more stand outish than the other girls… and you said in a earlier interview that you “wanted a certain amount of money in the bank and didn’t want to have to work.” No wonder you “love” Jay-z!!( and you won’t even claim him as your man.. your too embarrassed of him..but will probably spend his money.) No Thanks! I want to get ahead, but not at everyone else’s expense.
Its about time!I am so excited like I am part of the family!Congratulations!I don’t have to wish you good luck because you put GOD 1st at all times so you will prosper at this too! YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BEYONCE…. I KNOW HAS A NICE SHAPE AND CAN DANCE BUT AALIYAH IS THE BEST AND ALWAYS WILL BE AND THATS REAL…….
I find that your Mother and you designs are fabolous. I have designed a hat that I want you to market it for me..I think it will you and I a lot income, please in touch with me, Thank you
I love the jeans, they fit the woman with a small waist full hips with a round behind. I love my House of Dereon Jeans!!!!
