so, everybody's favorite dapper rapper turned actor turned fashion designer continues to accumulate accolades for his off the mic endeavors. His most recent? being named one of Gentlemen Quaterly's (GQ magazine) top 6 American designers for his newly released clothing line Benjamin Bixley. WOOOOOOOW!! It was only evident that he would eventually dap into the fashion world as a designer... the only question was "when?". In Feb 2008 he released a collection of about 70 pieces which were, at first, only just for HIM. His clothes are... well.... EXACTLY what you'd expect for 1/2 of OutKast, which happens to be my favorite GROUP of all times... with MJG & 8ball running a close second (just figured I'd throw that in). Bixby's first collection takes it's cue from the American campuses and sports fields of the 1930's. Tweed jackets, blazers and waistcoats combine with bomber jackets, sweats and plus-fours to produce the sort of typically eclectic mix that Benjamin might sport himself. Joining Benjamin Bixby are Save Khaki, Robert Geller, Yigal Azrouel, Shipley & Halmos, and Rogues Gallery. What? no Michael Kors?
