The raising of Suri, living in the shadow of her former ex-husband Tom Cruise, and the latest vicissitudes about the divorce and the custody of their daughter, has overshadowed the professional life of Katie Holmes as an actress and as a fashion designer. Coinciding with this troubled time, Holmes seems to be concentrating on other aspects of her life.

Her fashion line, Holmes & Yang, is preparing to make its debut with the Spring / Summer 2013 collection on the catwalk of the New York Fashion Week in September. Katie, who in recent days took part in the TV show Project Runway as a judge, has many famous fans for her brand such as Jennifer Lawrence and Malin Akerman. According to her spokesman, the commitment to the brand, launched in 2009, has not been affected by the star's personal issues. Even if the 19 year old daughter of Tom Cruise, Isabella Kidman-Cruise, who in 2010 started working for Holmes & Yang, was fired without notice two months before the announcement of the divorce.

"There was never any trouble between them. Bella called Katie "Mom." She was fired out of the blue, and once Katie filed for divorce, it all made sense.” The source said, “'This was a carefully planned ambush. Katie didn’t want Isabella working for her anymore because she was Tom’s kid.”

And that’s not all. Katie is preparing to shoot a film that she co-wrote and co-directed, Molly. Filming starts next week and the plot is about a single mother and her daughter. Does this sound familiar?
