X Factor judge ‘to design clothing’

Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole could be the latest celebrity to launch a range of clothing on the high street, according to reports.

It is believed that the singer, who was most recently seen mentoring Alexandra Burke to victory on ITV’s The X Factor, is interested in designing a collection for fashion retailer Topshop.

According to the News of the World, the star discussed the possibility of creating a range with Kate Moss when the supermodel watched the filming of the show recently.

Talking to the newspaper, an unnamed source claimed that the pair "instantly hit it off".

"When Cheryl said she wanted to get into high street fashion, Kate got very, very animated. It’s very likely to happen next year," the insider added.

It was recently claimed that Cheryl Cole is the UK top style icon.

According to Showbiz Spy, the star beat the likes of Coleen Rooney, Jennifer Aniston and Victoria Beckham to be voted number one in the Heat magazine survey.
