FLY SPY :: Andre 3000 launches new clothing line :: Benjamin Bixby
Post by Big Yogi
Super Cool Artist/Rapper/Actor adds another slash to his occupational rap sheet as he recently launched his new men’s clothing line Benjamin Bixby at Barney’s New York during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.
The new line named after a cartoon character in Dre’s head, is inspired by the 1930s letter sweaters and Varsity jackets worn by Aristocrats while they watched leisure sports such as Polo and Lawn tennis that nobody is really into these days outside of the monied Country club set.
The line is consistent with Dre’s swag as of lately and I think people will be interested in something new besides the too tight T-shirt and rocker look. Here is what Sandra Rose posted:
[The premiere took place last Friday during the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week kick-off. It was hosted by actress Charlize Theron and many celeb guests stopped by to see what Andre 3000 had in store.
His Fall 08/ Spring 09 collection consists of 70 pieces inspired by college football documentaries of the 1930’s. When asked about referencing the 1930’s, he says, “You had rough guys who played football, but they were impeccably dressed. So now, if a guy wants to wash his face, they call him a metrosexual or whatever. So my thing is, cut all that out. People feel like just because you like to dress well … that don’t mean you’re gay! I don’t know where that came from! You know? It’s clothes!”]
