I.am. clothing predictions


The sensational pop group The Black Eye Peas are all about risk. Every fashion statement they make are both outrageous, yet trendy. One of my fav of the group is Wil.i.Am! Loved him since day one from his fashion statements, to his music, and his crazy hair(lol). Although I Am Clothing launched in 2005, I believe it's time for a re-launch. Will is very hot right now, and un-like 2005 men are taking more risk! I think it'll be dynamic, and far from original (What me likey!). Andre 3000 launched his line a few years ago, and it did excellent. His trends were copied everywhere! men with cardigan sweaters, and more casual dressing than "street" and why won't the same thing happen for Will.i.Am? He's very confident in everything I've seen him wear, I was so amazed when watching Usher's new video "OMG" and saw Will.i.Am with Harem pants on.... And they actually looked great! It's also shown that when celebrity men come out with their own fashion line, guys are more influential to wear them, and support them. Such male celebrities; Steve Harvey, 50 cent, Snoop Dogg, and Justin Timberlake have all came out with clothing lines that represent their taste of fashion. And because men have some of the same style as most of these male celebs they buy them. I am a firm believer that the same thing will happen to Will.i.Am with his rocking clothing line: I.am. clothing. FACT: Will.I.Am was former student of L.A.'s Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, he revealed that he had spent over four years working on the line, in between hectic touring schedules. "I.Am clothing aims to fill the gap created in an industry where mass production consumes each person's need for individuality," says will.i.am. The range is described as high-end streetwear it consists of blazers, shirts, waistcoats, skirts, pants, and scarves, all incorporating the funk of will.i.am's music."(tasty combo!)If interested to see some of the clothes from Will's line go to http://www.iamclothing.net to see for yourself!Thanks Will.i.am for thinking out of the box, and continuing to give us great music, and great style!
*******Do you know any other male celebs, that have great fashion sense? Email me and explain why and I'll do a blog entry on them. Until next time Ciao!! :)

Spandex, and Chaos O MY!


If you love spandex as much as I do, then I know you'll love a new line of SPANDEX EVERYTHING! Butch Diva is colorful, bold, bright, unique, comfortable, and easy to wear clothing line. With vibrant colors, you'll wear them with everything! Tiffany Rhodes is an ambitious young designer that knows what she wants and goes for it. While emailing her back in fourth with questions of her line, you can tell that this is "her baby" and she's such a proud mommy. She should be with all the success that she is reaping right now. With her line now available exclusively @ Patricia Field located at 302 Bowery btwn Bleeker + Houston in NYC. They are making HELLA moves! Spandex+Chaos is absolutely INSANE!(in a good way of course lol) With crazy designs that you would only see in a children's book, these tights are fit for females with curvaceous features. In 2010 ButchDiva's has huge plans with development for selling online, launching pop up shop, expanding the brand and team, collaborations, and lastly distributing to other select retailers. Rhodes is also planning to increase their line with her equal passion of lingerie, and children's wear. "All coming soon under the BUTCH DIVA umbrella" says Rhodes. Her history of being in the fashion industry started for her when attending The High school of Fashion Industries in Manhattan. Always in honor classes and extra curricular classes for her major, her love for fashion led to a lot of early industry opportunities. Rhodes has been at it happily ever since! :) If wanting to see more of her creativity visit http://butchdiva.com and get blown AWAY!!! Ciao!
