Beyonce Capitalizes on Sasha Fierce

B.J. — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 18:15:02 +0000

Beyonce and her mother, Tina Knowles, are launching a new junior label, Sasha Fierce for Dereon, to capitalize on back to school fashion. The collection, which is inspired by the singer’s alter ego, includes sportswear, outerwear, handbags, footwear, eyewear, lingerie and jewellery. Some items include a one shoulder dress, black bodysuit, fake leather jacket with oversized collar, leggings and destructed jeans with mesh and lace details lining the ripped material. Why you would want those things in your closet, I have no idea. Tina commented on the new line saying it is “edgier and trendier and reflects Sasha Fierce’s daring and outgoing attitude.”

Kanye West Buys 5 Grand Worth of Women’s Clothes

B.J. — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 19:54:17 +0000

Whoever Kanye West is dating just got herself a serious wardrobe upgrade. It has been reported that the rapper and a member of his entourage rolled through the Deliciously Vintage women’s clothing store in Chicago last week and that Kanye spent over $5,000 on dresses and accessories. A source close to the situation says that the rapper was actually looking for inspiration pieces for a new clothing line that he’s launching. And when Kanye was asked if the clothes were for anyone special, he replied “Come on now, you know who it’s for!” It has also been reported that Kanye has gotten back together with stripper/model Amber Rose so they may be for her.

No Recession for Kanye

B.J. — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 19:49:26 +0000

It seems that everyone in the world is suffering because of the recession. Everyone except Kanye West that is. The rapper’s upcoming sneaker line, Kanye West for Louis Vuitton, will start retailing at the very expensive cost of $840! And some of the pairs will even retail to a over $1000! He cannot have those prices and seriously think that people will pay the price of $1140 for a pair of sneakers like the one pictured. And who would want to pay that much money for some ugly ass sneakers anyway? You can get so many more pairs over the more sporty and more durable Nike, Adidas or what have you.

Snoop Dogg: Designer

B.J. — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 07:34:53 +0000

Rappers are slowly taking over the fashion world. Following the footsteps of successful rappers turned fashion designers like Diddy and Russell Simmons, Snoop Dogg is launching his own label called ‘Rick & Infamous’ which he’ll be promoting in everything he does. He’s even featuring the new line development in his reality TV show. He will also be promoting the line and brand on his CD packaging and products. Snoop will even host fashion shows during his upcoming world tour. It looks to me like someone’s up for some cheap publicity. The clothing line will be of street wear for men aged between 18-35 and will also feature accessories, grooming and home products.

Erykah Badu Smells

If there have been legions of others that came before you, is it still considered selling out when you partner up for something that completely commercializes you? I guess there’s no such thing as selling out anymore as Erykah Badu is the latest celebrity to cash in on her fame by becoming the spokesperson for a beauty brand. The neo-soul singer has been named the face of Tom Ford’s new fragrance which is yet to be named. I wonder what it would smell like. Would it smell like the scents that Erykah likes – incense and weed? If so, should it have to be legalized?

Rihanna’s Bad look is Good

B.J. — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 19:02:42 +0000

At her sold out Wembley gig last night, Rihanna proved she can hold her own against any of the strong female legends of pop as she rocked the stage in some very hot outfits.

The performance certainly drove away any ‘teen-pop’ image she may have been carrying. With awesome stage presence, powerhouse vocals and moves that would have Beyonce shaking in her boots; the fans went nuts.

I doubt the many changes of PVC bondage outfits harmed the effect either.

Kanye All Over

B.J. — Sun, 07 Oct 2007 03:03:50 +0000

If you hear the words fashion week, you’d immediately think of super models and a lot of great designers who sometimes do some completely outrageous outfits. Then you’d think about the fashionable stars who’d be there to see the shows.

But did you ever think that Kanye West would be the King of Paris Fashion Week? I didn’t. The rapper hit up all the shows. He was even spotted attending the Stella McCartney Spring/Summer ’08 collection on Thursday. He even met up with Lily Allen (what the heck happened to her?) there.

To be honest, I wouldn’t be surprised if Kanye announced that he’s coming out with his own line of clothing.

Michael Jackson’s Comeback n.0

B.J. — Sat, 29 Sep 2007 02:24:32 +0000

How many times has Michael Jackson made a comeback? Maybe Britney should take notes. But then again, maybe not.

The king of pop is on the cover of the October 2007 issue of L’UOMO Vogue magazine. His photo shoot was headed by photographer Bruce Weber.

The magazine shoot is reportedly part of a deal Michael struck with designer Roberto Cavalli. Details of the deal says that Michael would do the photo shoot for Cavalli and in return, the famous designer would make clothing for Michael for his new look to support the release of his new album.

How picky of him.
