Los Angeles: Popular Disney Channel series "Sonny with a Chance" has inspired a clothing line aimed at tween girls just in time for back to school shopping, Disney and retail chain Target said on Wednesday.
Titled "D-Signed," the clothes are modeled after the personal style of the show's title character Sonny Munroe, played by 17-year old actress Demi Lovato.
The debut collection features t-shirt, skirts, pants, dresses, shorts ,tops, jackets, headbands, necklaces and bags and will available in Target stores on Aug. 1. A second collection will follow in time for the winter holiday period.
The line is a twist on past entertainment-inspired clothing. Rather than create traditional merchandise with the characters' likeness, fashion items from D-Signed are those that would be found in Sonny's own closet -- if she were a real person.
Future plans for the line call for fashion designs based on other popular Disney Channel characters, including Alex Russo of "Wizards of Waverly Place," played by 17-year-old Selena Gomez.
Some of the real-life actors on the Disney Channel have already delved in to the fashion business.
Gomez launched her own fashion line earlier this month at K-mart titled "Dream Out Loud by Selena Gomez." Last year, "Hannah Montana" star Miley Cyrus launched a clothing line with designer Max Azria at Wal-Mart stores.
