At one of the Europe’s most famous department stores André “3000” Benjamin officially made his mark on the world of fashion. The musician, actor and quirky clothing connoisseur recently joined several celebrity guests at London-based Harrods to debut his Benjamin Bixby clothing line.
The 1930’s college sports-theme collection is a true testament of Benjamin’s individual style; not to mention the Atlanta native sketched his own designs. Though Benjamin’s latest creative effort is a far more stylish cry from his former OutKast Clothing line; it seems he joins a long list of young, out-of-the-box artists who are set to make their mark in the fashion industry. – gavin philip godfrey
