there have been many artist in the rap game that have put out a clothing lines in the past, such as ll cool j (fubu), wu tang (forgot what it was called), jay-z (rocawear), pharrell (bbc), 50 (g-unit), diddy (sean john)...but none of them appealed to me...
but i found one that might...i read the other day that that Andre 3000 has a clothing line called Benjamin Bixby coming out in the spring and as long as it isn't football shoulder pads and flamingo pants, i with it! lol...
Such images, drawn from college football circa 1935, inspired his new clothing line, Benjamin Bixby, thanks to a documentary he stumbled across on TV one night. Consisting of 70 pieces, the line is currently self-funded (he’s looking for a partner) and, he hopes, it will be at Barneys in the fall. Benjamin is a fashion autodidact: He has taken advice from Anna Wintour (who invited him to a Met gala), he has sketched the clothes himself, he has been to Italian factories and Parisian textile fairs. (And by the way, if you’re missing his primary career: He’s also working on a solo album for the fall.)
sounds promising...
