Mischa Barton’s New Role: Headband Designer

Richard Young/Startraks

Mischa Barton’s known for showing off every possible permutation of designer headgear — from dazzling barrettes to that ubiquitious hippie headband. And now, WWD reports, the former O.C. star has inked a deal for a signature line of hair accessories. Barton is partnering up with designer Stacey Lapidus to create a luxe range of bejeweled and feather-adorned accessories that will range in price from $40 to $200. Moving from her purse line into accessory design was a natural choice for the style-loving star, who says, “Accessories are fun and they’re easy to wear. I’ve always loved headbands and have worn Stacey’s headbands for a while.” Tell us: What do you think of Barton’s newest enterprise?

I don’t think I could afford a $40 headband but I’m excited to see what they look like!

Gen September 8th, 2008

$40-$200 headbands come on. I would never spend that much on such a thing.

Who releases a line of headbands? I don’t think they stand out enough of their own that every woman is dying to have one. It doesn’t stand on the same level of things like purses and underwear.

She doesn’t wear it correctly. She’s got it too high on her head and it puffs out her hair. Makes something really cool look pretty dumb. The Olsen twins will love it!

thomas crown September 17th, 2008

considering mischa barton is one of the most consistently ill-dressed “celebrities” on the planet, why anyone would ask her to design anything is a mystery to me. as mom used to say “everyone thinks they have good taste, but that cant possibly be true, now, can it?”

Dorothy Heydt September 17th, 2008

“What do you think of Barton’s latest enterprise?”

I prefer not to.

natalie September 17th, 2008

i would wear one of her headbands in a heartbeat! now the only problem…the price. people don’t just show over $50 bucks just for a head-piece. normal people, that is.

This went out with the flower children. LaToya tried to bring it back, and we see how well it worked for her. The pictures will give her kids a laugh for years to come.

MrBlank September 27th, 2008

Hey somehow she has to pay for that 7 million dollar mansion she bought right before she was fired from The O.C. But who wears headbands? Olivia Newton-John in the 80’s that’s who. So maybe she should invent a time machine first, sell the patent and then she wouldn’t have to pimp headbands.

stacie October 25th, 2008

if one more celebrity decides they need to “design” a clothing / accessory line, i might kill myself! haha

Inianga December 12th, 2008

I have watched The OC from season 1-3. I can’t season 4 because Marissa Cooper died in season three. I have sad since. I love that character so much. I wish I can see Mischa Barton to tell her.

ANNIEK March 22nd, 2009

So I’ve seen a lot of really cool/interesting headband designs lately that I really like. But really, the prices are a little crazy… I’ve found some really unique headbands on Etsy, such as: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7032911
