If you're out there you're vulnerable. People prefer to disappear in life, to repress their personality. That's not living. It's dying. I see them all over the place, the walking dead.

Year of The Gentleman Cont. : Benjamin Bixby 2009



Earlier this year, Andre 3000 launched the convincing clothing line, Benjamin Bixby. When I was first introduced to some of his pieces online, I immediately was blown away. The line stays true to the artists’ own style, which I think is very important. The vision is definitely apparent! Look for Benjamin Bixby in high end malls and boutiques…you won’t be sorry! And FYI, the fits are crazy!













And let's not talk about how I SO want to be the face of Benjamin Bixby.....CAN I LIVE?!

    Unlike other celeb-turned designer i have a positve association with Benjamin Bixby the collection is a true reflection of his personal style... genuine work :o)

    Yeah I was thinking the exact same thing...anyone can just put their name behind something. But this man has seemingly poured his soul into this collection because every piece is reflective of him!... Great Job!

    N musically Cotti with all due respect Andre cannot be compared to Kanye...sentiments aside, lets give credit to whom it is due... n musically its pretty clear how talented Kanye is, its not about his music alone the videos especially on this new album are masterpieces and its clear to anyone with an average interest in art that his achievements are laudable :o)

    Okay so his interest in art and aesthetics collectively I totally understand that. However, I mean lyrically. Andre manages to exude the same, if not more, wisdom and play on words as Kanye...just with more tact---and with less vulgarity if you will.

    And as I've stated, I'm a fan of both. But just like in literature, there's a difference in liking two types of something in regards to merit :-)
