Designing woman: Mel B unveiled her new clothing collection Catty Couture at a fashion show in Los Angeles yesterday
Mel launched the range at a catwalk show at California Market Centre in Los Angeles, with support from husband Stephen Belafonte.
Clearly, the skimpy, brash outfits would hold no terror for Mel, as she showed off her taut gym body, honed by vigorous fitness regimes after giving birth to daughter Angel Iris Murphy a year ago.
