Disney starlet Selena Gomez, best known for her role on Wizards of Waverly Place, is the latest actress to add "designer" to her resumé. WWD reports that 17-year-old Selena is preparing to launch Dream Out Loud by Selena Gomez for Fall 2010.

Selena told WWD, "Growing up in Texas, I was sort of close-minded and kind of a tomboy, but as I've traveled, I found such a love of clothes. It's really always been a dream of mine to have a line."

Gomez is working with Tony Melilo, the designer of an eponymous menswear brand. Melilo said of working with Selena, "She has such a good sense of what she likes and what she doesn't like. It was surprising as I've never worked with someone so young, and never really expected her to be that smart. She has a desire to be involved, and nothing is sent out there without her approval. It's nice to see her have this genuine interest."
