Actress and comedian Whoopi Goldberg is breaking into the fashion world with a super
fun (and totally Whoopi) line of "ugly" Christmas sweaters.
[Update: October 30, 2017] Whoopi Goldberg's ugly Christmas sweaters are BACK, and this time she's struck an exclusive deal with Zappos to sell these holiday party must-haves. Here are some of our favorites:Note: This article originally appeared on November 1, 2016. Below are details on her original sweater line at that time.
Goldberg brings her comedic personality directly to her line with nine different styles made of wool, alpaca, cashmere, and cotton, and they feature loud, cartoonish prints and designs.
"You can't call them 'ugly,'" Goldberg told Vogue. "Mine are kind of 'funny Christmas sweaters' or 'Christmas sweaters with a twist.' They're actually quite wonderful, and they feel good."
The idea originated from a comment Goldberg made to longtime business partner Tommy Leonardis about designing her own silly sweaters. Leonardis brought up the idea to mutual friend and fashion investor Gary Wassner, and the rest is history. http://www.bestproducts.com/fashion/news/a530/whoopi-goldberg-christmas-sweaters/
