Material Girl is the hip new clothing line for juniors that was designed by Madonna and her fashionable daughter Lola Leon. This fabulous fashion line is decidedly edgy with unexpected detailing like exposed zippers, faux leather, crushed velvet, and other fun touches that make the pieces a bit 80′s retro. Exclusively sold at Macy’s, Material Girl is the line for the fashion-forward girl who lives in fun clothes like studded tee shirts, skinny bleached jeggings, funky floral minidresses, cropped tops, leopard print jackets, and much more. This line also features Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen in its advertising campaigns.

Dare to try something new:  here is a small sample of amazing items from the Material Girl fashion line. A note to keep in mind–I did not link up or give mention prices for most pieces, because Macy’s offers frequent sales, which means prices and availability may vary every few days. Don’t forget to check out the Material Girl blog for the latest information about the fashion line and trends!

Tops: If polos and henley style blouses are not your thing, you’ll be happy to know that the Material Girl line has a fabulous selection of fun tops! The V-neck Short Sleeve Studded Tee is a cute find. It features a slightly loose fit, v-neckline with studded detailing, short flutter sleeves, and a rounded hem. This tee looks amazing when worn with jeggings, a cropped jacket, and pumps. Another wonderful find is the Long Sleeve Lace Boyfriend Shirt. This sheer lace top features a point collar, button-front closure, patch pockets, and rolled sleeves with button tabs. This top is actually ideal for layering over camisoles or tanks. Gingham recently had a fun makeover with this line’s Long Sleeve Cut-out Gingham Plaid Shirt. This features an allover gingham print, shoulder cut-outs, point collar, a single patch pocket, and button-down front closure. This is the kind of top that you would want to wear with a miniskirt and ballet flats. If you’d rather wear something that is a little more bold, the Scoop Neck Sleeveless Pocket Tunic Tank is the perfect choice thanks to its billowy silhouette, scooped neckline, and sleeveless design. This pretty top also features two pockets in the front for style and convenience. Wear this top over skinny jeans and cinch the waist with a skinny belt. Love lace? You’ll love this Scoop Neck Three Quarter Sleeve Lace Top which features a slightly boxy fit, sheer lace throughout, three quarter sleeves, and scalloped trim hem. This top was made to wear over simple tank.

Bottoms: Jeggings (a combination of jeans and leggings) are extremely trendy right now, and Material Girl has six fabulous pairs! A few notables include the Skinny Spotlight Black Wash Denim Jeggings and the Skinny Studded Destroyed Dark Wash Jeans. Both pairs feature a super skinny silhouette with a low-rise fit. If denim isn’t really your style, you’ll probably like the Skinny Cargo Pants. These skinny fit pants feature cotton/spandex construction, skinny silhouette, low rise, and cargo pockets. The trend doesn’t stop there, as there are dressier versions of leggings like the Skinny Cropped Satin Pleated Carrot Trousers. These tuxedo-inspired pants feature cotton and spandex construction, a low-rise, relaxed fit, and pleating at either side of the front hip. This collection also includes a Sleeveless Scoop Neck Ruffle Floral Printed Romper and Strapless Straight Relaxed Cropped Jumpsuit for days you want to simplify your style routine!

Dresses: The Material Girl collection includes both fun casual dresses and party dresses. Let’s start with two amazing printed minidresses! The Sleeveless Scoop Neck Keyhole Zipper Printed Mini Dress and the Sleeveless Scoop Neck Floral Zipper Mini Dress. The first style features a pretty, blue abstract print design, a-line silhouette, scooped neckline, wide straps, and elastic waistband. The second style features a multicolored floral print design, scooped neckline, sleeveless design, fitted silhouette, and exposed front zipper closure. Both dresses look terrific with denim or leather jackets! Another cute dress is this Sweetheart Short Sleeve Floral Zipper Lace Ruffle Mini Dress. It’s short and flirty with a floral printed design, sweetheart neckline, short cap sleeves, lace trim (on the neckline and sleeves), exposed zipper on the front, and tiered miniskirt. The Sleeveless Scoop Neck Crushed Velvet Mini Dress manages to look luxe and edgy at the same with crushed velvet fabric, a sleeveless design, wide straps, and fitted silhouette. If you’re looking for the perfect party dress, this is it! Prefer something a little more glamorous? The Sleeveless Scoop Neck Sequin Mini Dress is a stylish choice. This tank style dress was designed with a fitted silhouette, allover sequin design, and full lining for coverage.

Jackets: No edgy look is complete with without a moto style jacket! The Long Sleeve Acid Wash Faux Leather Cropped Motorcycle Jacket features the look of fake leather, panels with button tabs on the shoulders, piped trim, notched lapel, and asymmetrical front zipper closure. Another stylish option is the Long Sleeve Pocket Denim Medium Wash Cropped Jacket. It features denim construction, point collar, long sleeves with buttoned cuffs, cropped fit, and button-front closure.

Jewelry and Accessories: I can’t think of a fashion line that doesn’t include accessories, and Material Girl doesn’t disappoint! Notable finds include the following items.  The Spider Stretch Ring features a hematite-plated mixed metal design with a stretch fit, with a spider-shaped design that features round-cut clear and black crystals. The punk-inspired Five Row Leather Snap Cuff has leather construction, five sparkly rows of round-cut crystals, and a snap closure. The Silvertone Panther Green Crystal Cocktail Ring features silvertone mixed metal construction and a realistic-looking panther face with black enamel markings and green crystals for eyes. If you’re looking for edgy footwear, you’ll find plenty of amazing choices like the Sash Flats. These chic skimmer style shoes feature man-made construction, lots of cut-out details, and a wide open upper with low-cut profile. If you’d rather wear a pair of edgy boots, you’ll love the Dorado Boots, which feature a man-made upper/sole and lace-up front with embellished buckle decor.
I have to wonder why Madonna didn’t create a fashion line before. I think everything in this line looks fashionably bold and very chic! What I love more is the fact that Madonna joined forces with her daughter to create this incredible collection, because most mothers and daughters do not see eye to eye when it comes to clothes.
