The "Grey's Anatomy" star parlays her Seattle Grace success into fashion by marketing a new line of spruced-up scrubs.
KATHERINE HEIGL, the adorable actress who plays intern Izzie Stevens on ABC's "Grey's Anatomy," is taking her hospital uniform public in true style. The 28-year-old has partnered with a healthcare-clothing business to launch the Katherine Heigl Collection, a fashion-forward line of scrubs. It's the first time a celebrity has designed a collection for the medical industry, and Katherine says she hopes that women in the profession get a welcome shot of confidence from her designer duds."I have tremendous respect for women in the healthcare industry," said Katherine. "I know that it is often a difficult and thankless job. I wanted to create a line of scrubs that would allow women to infuse some of their personality and style into their work apparel. When you feel good about how you look, you are more confident, more motivated and it can lift your spirits."The line features four different categories of uniforms and scrubs for women based on Katherine's personal style. "London" pays tribute to England's kitschy trends and features mod details mixed in with blacks, grays, hot pinks and whites. "Connecticut" is all about the woman who likes to look crisp, with sea blue and white tones, blazer-style jackets and angled stitch pockets. "Los Angeles" channels the hip-casual starlet and embodies the city's laid-back style by infusing denim and hoodies into the medical regalia, and "Seattle" adds an adventurous touch with cargo-style scrubs and custom floral prints in coral and hunter green. Most pieces in the collection will be priced under $25, and all will be made from high-quality, soil-release fabrics to ensure long-lasting wear, comfort and durability. That makes the line appropriate for women of all ages who work not only in the hospital, but in clinics, dental offices, labs and spas, as well. "We want women in healthcare to feel good about what they do, show the world who they are and love how they look," says Peaches Uniforms' CEO BARRY ROTHSCHILD, who has partnered with Katherine on her latest and unexpected fashion endeavor. "Katherine is a role model for many women, especially in the healthcare industry. It's only natural for them to want to emulate her style," he adds. The Katherine Heigl Collection will be available for the hospital hipster, or any woman eager to try out the super-comfy look, this fall in retail outlets, online stores and catalogues selling women's medical apparel.
