You're Going to Bidi Bidi Buy Everything in Forever 21's New Selena Line
You're going to need a bigger washing machine for all these Selena-inspired clothes.
By Heather Navarro ••
The legend of the Queen of Tejano Music still lives on in our playlists, and now, you can wear your corazón on your sleeve with the new affordable line of clothing at Forever 21.
Forever 21 launched the White Rose Collection in honor of Selena, the beloved Mexican-American singer who gave us hits like "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom," "No Me Queda Más," "Como La Flor," and countless others before her untimely death in 1995.
"As an artist, Selena is a legend that resonates so deeply with our customers," Forever 21 said in an email. "We have Selena product in our stores on a constant basis, and they are some of our highest performing styles. Because of this, we wanted to do something special and launch a collaboration with her to give our fans what they want!"
Anyone who knows Selena, and has watched countless archival performances on YouTube, knows the white rose was her "thing," hence the appropriate name of the new clothing line.
