Eva Mendes debuts fashion line inspired by thrift shop finds

Actress Eva Mendes added another title to her résumé: fashion designer. Today, she did a media blitz for her new line The Eva Mendes Collection with New York & Company.

On today's Good Morning America, she said her line was inspired by her own thrift shop finds like vintage dresses that would cost $6.

"I love a bargain, so I'm always shopping at thrift shops," she said. "I'll buy a six-dollar dress, then I'll go get a coffee and there'll be women like, 'Where can I get your dress?' And I'll be like, 'Oh, thrift shop.'"

The line will sell exclusively at select New York & Company stores and online.
