No way! Is this every pair of sisters' dream or what? I've just heard that Penélope Cruz and her younger sis Monica are set to design a 25 item clothing collection for the Spanish chain Mango. The line will include accessories and also feature an ad campaign in which Pen and Mon will star.

This is not the sisters' first attempt at design. In the past, they have also created jewelry and handbags for the Japanese company, Samantha Thavasa. However, this is their first stab at clothing.

Mango approached the Cruz sisters in their attempt to expand their presence in the U.S. The plan is to roll out 250 new stores over the next ten years.

To read what Penélope has to say, read more

"I select every item, color and size myself. It's a reflection of my taste and what I wear. There is a mix of casual fashion, a few party dresses and accessories at decent prices."

    I've heard of Mango! But I've never shopped there though. I think they're only in Spain out of everywhere in Europe.

    I saw Monica Cruz being interviewed on the RAI channel over here in Italy- she seems really sweet and is a lot prettier than her sister.

    Mango is like H&M/Zara but their sizes run really small so if you're above a size 8, don't bother unless you want accessories!

    I love Mango! I feel in love with the brand when I was over in England a long time ago. They have quite a few stores in the states...SF, LA, Costa Mesa, Las Vegas. If you haven't checked them out I would definitely recommend it!

    Mango is definitely one of my fav brands. They only sell in Europe and Asia. They should start selling their stuff here in America.
