The runway beckons Beyonce

Having conquered the music charts, Beyonce is set to try her hand at being a couturier. The pop and r&b superstar has announced she has partnered with Tarrant Apparel Group to release a series of ready-to-wear fashions under the label the House of Dereon, which is named after her grandmother, former seamstress Agnes Dereon.

Their look? "A mix of vintage things with contemporary things," Beyonce says. The line will have "sexy tops, sweaters and party dresses, things that I would wear on or off the red carpet".
