Angelina Jolie Boards the Celebrity Design Train

United Nations Goodwill Ambassador and A-list Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie is jumping on the celeb fashion designer bandwagon with her new line of jewelry.

On the red carpet at the premiere for her spy drama Salt, the actress can be seen wearing some the first pieces in the collection.

Collaborating with former Asprey CEO, Robert Procop, (whose decade-long design experience will serve as a backbone for Angie’s collection) the design duo will showcase classic jeweled pieces that Angelina will most likely wear herself. {FabSugar}

The exclusive collection won’t be sold traditionally in retail stores like most celebrity designs, however. Instead, her pieces will be sold through Procop’s clients with all of the proceeds going directly to Angelina’s charity, the Education Partnership of Children in Crisis.

It will be interesting to see how a collection from Angelina does. Though her photos regularly command millions – a gift passed along to her children – her stint as an ambassador for St. John wasn’t seen as being the best fit. With what we assume will be more input in the design process this time, maybe a more personal involvement will make a difference. Brand ambassadorships aside, Jolie’s woven a good dose of humanitarian roles into her bad-ass roles, and it’s nice to see her star power (doesn’t that always include a design stint?) directed to causes close to her heart.
