One of the most originally dressed man in the show business decided to take a step forward and give back something to the fashion world. One half of the OutKast duo designed a collection as he said reminding him of comic-books. “I think the cut of Benjamin Bixby comes from comic-book characters, which I’ve been drawing since I was a kid. In comic books, the waist is always pinched, but the legs are full-cut, kind of like the Cracker Jack man.” says Andre Benjamin a.k.a. Andre 3000.
The collection has it's roots in Atlanta and New York from where the artist comes from and where it was founded in 2008.“In high school, in Atlanta, when Grand Puba told us to wear Girbaud jeans, I wore Girbaud jeans. Then you had this prep movement happening: Ralph Lauren, Eddie Bauer, Bass, Sebago, and Timberland. So imagine me walking through [local housing project] Bowen Homes in the morning to catch the bus, but I’m dressed like a prep. As you get older, you go back to those things." says the singer about the influence.
There are rumors that Andre is about to design a women's collection but he hasn't confirmed this information.
