TI Designs T for Play Boy

In Hip Hop fashion news, always staying on his hustle, Atlanta rapper TI has designed a custom line of T-Shirts for Play Boy's second annual Rock The Rabit campaign.

TI is one of twenty others who will be adding their personal touch to Play Boy's rabbit head logo, his line of T's will be available at Bloomingdale's nationwide and at RockTheRabit.com.



Official ODB Clothing Hits The WebThe official clothing line of late Wu Tang rapper, ODB, is now available via ODB's online store Merchdirect/Odb.

In early January 2008, the New York-based MerchDirect announced that they had signed a deal with the estate of Russell Jones, aka “Ol’ Dirty Bastard” to produce and sell “authorized merchandise/wearable art sanctioned by widow Icelene Jones”

Since his death 3 years ago, between fifteen to twenty-two companies have been selling “unauthorized ODB shirts” without a penny being paid to his estate.

MerchDirect will generate revenue for the estate’s rightful heirs as well as properly promote ODB’s contribution to the world of rap music.

Andre 3000 Preps Spring Clothing LineAndre 3000 has been hard at work as of late, from movies to music, the ATLIEN will now be trying his hand at fashion.

According to NY Mag, Andre's upcoming fashion line, Benjamin Bixby, is inspired by early 19th century looks such as vintage football uniforms.

Consisting of 70 pieces, the line is currently self-funded (he’s looking for a partner) and, he hopes, will be at Barneys in the fall.

Andre says he wants his clothing line to "tell a story."

Benjamin Bixby, he says, “is a character who’s kind of like your uncle, or your granddad, and he has a closet full of experiences and clothes, and he’s been around the world.”
