Katie Holmes is still hard at work on her fashion line - but will it be for the masses? She's not telling.

Despite nabbing rave reviews for her duds, Tom Cruise's other half has remained highly secretive about plans for her Holmes Yang collection, designed with her stylist pal Jeanne Yang.

But she is revealing a few tidbits.

"We started about a year ago, sketching different things, trying to find comfortable clothing for our daughters that is also pretty and cute," the 30-year-old actress tells the April issue of Glamour magazine of her work with Yang.

Holmes wowed fashion critics this summer after stepping out in a leather and silk creation from her line, followed two months later by a Holmes Yang ivory silk jumpsuit with black lace sleeves.

Holmes was reported to be planning a full-fledged runway show at New York Fashion Week in September, those rumors turned out to be, well, rumors.

Yang told InStyle in August that the duo's collection was created for "friends and their daughters, but Holmes now hints that they may eventually expand to the public.

"We just started, and we've played around with doing things for women as well," she says.

Reps for Holmes and Yang would not elaborate on the duo's plans for the line.
