SJP takes a swipe at L.A.M.B

Sounds like Sarah Jessica Parker is hoping to make fashion roadkill out of Gwen Stefani.

Everybody's favorite Sex and the City starlet takes a swipe at Stefani's L.A.M.B. clothing collections while talking about her own debut line, Bitten, in the new issue of Glamour magazine.

Stefani's designs are "much more avant-garde, definitely high fashion," Parker opines. "I don't want to do that for women, because that's not their lives."

Parker says her line won't land you in the poorhouse.

"You're going to be able to buy $200 worth of clothes, leave that store with six bags and be able to pay your utilities and take your kids someplace special for their birthday."

And Parker knows firsthand what it's like trying to raise kids on little money. When she was growing up-she was one of eight kids-her family was on public assistance briefly.

Parker tells writer Bob Morris:

"I got all of my oldest sister's hand-me-downs. And by the time I inherited them, they were really out of fashion."

Parker recalls what she wore on her first date with John F. Kennedy Jr.-a Katharine Hamnett black cocktail dress.

"It was very simple, actually. Except that she let the zipper be the sort of outstanding feature. Very late '80s."

And believe it or not, Parker appears to be getting a bit prudish on us. She's not only against low-rise jeans, but she's sounding an alarm about Young Hollywood.

Though Parker doesn't name names, I think we can figure out who she's referring to.

She says:

"Look how celebrities are acting these days. People are getting attention for doing nothing, for behaving poorly, for abusing themselves in public and being abused, exploiting themselves. I find it vulgar, and I find it awful."
