Amar'e Stoudemire is getting into the fashion business -- the Knicks' power forward is launching a clothing line with designer Rachel Roy, sources told Page Six.
The insiders said the line will be a part of Roy's contemporary label for Macy's, Rachel Rachel Roy, and is being planned to launch next fall. Althought details are still being squared away, we hear the collection will be for women.
Stoudemire and Roy were seen last week having dinner at clubby West Village eatery The Lion, possibly hammering out details of their collaboration. The future business partners met at an event during New York Fashion Week in September.
Later that week, Stoudemire sat in the front row at Tommy Hilfiger's show, between Wintour and European editor at large Hamish Bowles and across from Ed Westwick, Jessica Szohr, Jennifer Lopez, Lenny Kravitz and Neil Patrick Harris. And Stoudemire's new gal pal is a onetime Ford model -- former Kanye West flame Amber Rose.
Stoudemire shared his obsession with clothing with Page Six Magazine in September, saying, "I love fashion . . . I love watches. I love shoes. I make sure that every time I step out of the house, I'm feeling comfortable and fashion-forward. Depending on the occasion, I dress the part."
Amare's rep said, "They've had conversations but nothing's confirmed." Macy's didn't respond. Roy's rep had no comment.

Stoudemire has had his size-15 foot in the fashion world since arriving in town after he signed a $100 million deal to join the Knicks. During Fashion Week, Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour personally invited the 6-foot-10 NBA star to the Fashion's Night Out runway show at Lincoln Center.
