Ashlee Simpson

Ashlee Simpson's love for fashion started with "hammer pants".

The 28-year-old actress-and-singer discovered the baggy trousers - made popular in the 1980s by rapper MC Hammer - when she was a child and they immediately ignited her passion.

She told Us Weekly: "In kindergarten I loved hammer pants! Fashion really starts in those [younger] years, and I started with hammer pants."

Ashlee's four-year-old son Bronx - from her previous marriage to Pete Wentz - is already developing an interest in fashion and even his mother isn't above being criticised.

She said: "He always lets us know exactly what he likes and doesn't like - even with what I wear."

Meanwhile, his grandmother Tina described Bronx as a "fashionista" and revealed his love for wearing "girl leggings".

She added: "Bronx is the biggest fashionista! He loves the girl leggings - he wears them all the time!"

Tina and her daughter work together - along with Ashlee's sister Jessica - on the Jessica Simpson Collection and the family bond makes an "amazing" work environment.

Ashlee explained: "I get to work with my mamma and sister and we really have fun together. It's amazing."
