34% of women would swap their guy for Cheryl Cole’s wardrobe

February 17th, 2010

Research by the UK’s fastest growing independent celebrity fashion website has found that a large amount of women would swap their relationship for a celebrity’s wardrobe.
In a new study by http://www.MyCelebrityFashion.co.uk of 1,206 women aged 18-30 it has been revealed that 34% of them would trade in their partner if it meant they could own Cheryl Cole’s wardrobe.
When asked which celebrity’s wardrobe they would swap their guy for, only 0.5% of participants chose Fearne Cotton’s wardrobe, whilst almost 20% opted for Lady Gaga’s style.
MyCelebrityFashion profiles the fashion of many celebrities including Cheryl Cole and has found an increase in interest for her contemporary yet classy style.
When asked why they liked Cheryl Cole’s style, the majority of participants, 52%, commented that they liked her strong Newcastle roots and background.
The top five celebrity wardrobes according to the participants, by the percentage who said they would swap their partner for them:
1. Cheryl Cole – 34%
2. Lady Gaga – 20%
3. Kate Moss – 8%
4. Dannii Minogue – 5%
5. Victoria Beckham – 4%

The bottom five:
1. Fearne Cotton – 0.5%
2. Katy Perry – 0.3%
3. Lindsay Lohan – 0.2%
4. Peaches Geldof – 0.1%
5. Madonna – 0.1%
With the importance of role models ever-important in the fashion industry, this study shows that the public are more likely to favour celebrities they can relate to such as Cheryl Cole, over Victoria Beckham who has recently declined in popularity on the site. However her other half David Beckham still remains a firm fashion icon, although he has less competition from the male fashion scene.
Speaking about these latest findings, Andy Barr, Marketing Director of http://www.MyCelebrityFashion.co.uk said:
“I think these results prove how important the role of celebrities in fashion has become, although I was surprised by the lengths women would go to achieve their dream wardrobe.“
He continued;
“It’s fascinating to see that women would want to wear the more controversial clothing of stars such as Lady Gaga. The fashion industry is going through so many changes, I think the best way to find out about them is from celebrities.”

BarterQuest’s trading partners said the following about their barter experience:

• “2 thumbs WAY up! A pleasant experience. iPod Touch arrived 5 days from winning it. Shipped Fed-Ex from China directly from APPLE. Brand new, personally engraved and fabulous! My son will love it. We cannot thank you enough.”

“We would like to thank all users who participated in our launch promotion and congratulate our bartering partners for their successful trades,” stated Bianca Han, Executive Vice President of BarterQuest. “Now in our third month of operation, we are finding that by supporting all types of goods, services and the use of real estate the variety of posts is limited only by the imagination of our users. For example, members are currently offering 3-D animation, accounting services and a golf cart. We are continually impressed by the range of items posted and encourage users all over the world to keep trading.”
