Andre 3000 who I consider a fashion icon has released his new clothing line, "Benjamin Bixby". Andre's line premiered last Friday during Mercedes Benz Fashion week with many stars stopping by to see what he had up his sleeve. 3000's Fall 08/Spring 09 line will consist of 70 pieces derived from the concept of college football in the 1930's. Andre was quoted as saying: "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 metro sexual 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!" That's a great example of a fashion connoisseur trying to break the mold of what society has built. There has been no set date for Benjamin Bixby's release hence, it's self-funded. But Andre is currently looking for a partner. So, for right now we'll just have to be patient. But, while were waiting we can also anticipate Andre's new album which he is currently working on. Feast Below on the pictures from the premiere.
