Say it isn't so: rumor has it that, following a sweep of lay-offs yesterday, the fate of Kelly Wearstler's clothing line is in question. Although "multiple sources" reveal to The Hollywood Reporter that the LA-based design star's full fashion range will be dropped to focus on basics, her camp says otherwise.

A Wearstler rep tells THR that, although "two designers and six individuals from areas including production and e-commerce" were, indeed, laid off, "the ready-to-wear collection has not been canceled and will continue to be available at the Los Angeles flagship and other specialty retailers. We have simply re-focused the collection and, as a result, we have made the difficult decision to streamline our talented and dedicated design team." Stay tuned for more.
