"She is the girl next door and has great product that surrounds her," Vince Camuto, who owns the brand's master license, told WWD. "People like her. People look at her as a style icon."
Simpson, who recently got engaged to NFL player Eric Johnson, is expanding her collection with a sportswear line, due next fall.
