“I’m so grateful I got to create my first ever clothing collection with Princess Polly, a brand I have loved since I was 15,” she said in a YouTube video.

The Bulletin contacted Princess Polly but they did not respond for comment.

Ms Loughlin and her designer dad Mossimo Giannulli, were charged by the FBI for allegedly paying $500,000 bribes to get her and her sister into college.

Since it broke Ms Giannulli has lost brand deals with top beauty labels.
