But kanye sold a white tshirt for like $200

I was about to say the same thing.

Victoria Beckham is also a good example that she has some genuine passion for fashion. Not even sure how much actual input she has though.

that's the normal price for t-shirts at a.p.c jeez. there was no markup.

If will.i.am says so

They do it because celebrities HAVE to look fashionable nowadays... It's not an option not to.

I agree.

I'm sure will.i.am's collaboration with Beats by Dre and his other endorsements were due to money...Will comes across as somewhat pretentious

This is coming from the man who is suing pharrell over the phrase "I am".

Why is it wrong though? In my opinion it's good business skills

But nobody forced him to team up with a company that sells extremely overpriced clothes. A $120 plain white tee is a ****ing joke.

And will.i.am. is right, I don't think ANY of these celebs know how to draw or sew at even the most basic level, yet they're calling themselves designers when they probably didn't even think about entering the fashion industry before they realized how lucrative it is. It's frustrating because there are genuinely talented fashion designers who are struggling to get noticed simply because they don't have a famous name and the support of powerful industry insiders behind them.

And most celebrity fashion lines are terrible, both in aesthetic and quality, which just goes to show that people are only buying them because of the names and faces associated with them.

will.i.am, slowly realizing how the industry works.

He was definitely playing the game with that one.


Goodbye.

Well he is telling the truth.

This is so obvious though, like you want something that makes you money after you retire from music/acting. By that time you already have a successful business in clothing/perfumes/books what will keep making you money even after you flop...
