Everybody & Their Daddy Is Launching A Clothing Line :: Smokey Robinson Included

I think its official….d*mn-near every celebrity is becoming a fashion designer. Not only have reality stars tried to break into the fashion industry,  but countless music artists have done the same. 71-year-old Smokey Robinson has taken the cake on “shocking” celebrity designers. The soul legend, has teamed up with boxing Champ Joe Frazier’s tailor to launch a menswear clothing line for 2012. James Andrew, Joe Frazier’s tailor, has been working closely with Smokey and their line is set to come out Spring 2012. Peep what James Andrew had to say.

“I have always been a fan of Smokey’s music and he’s a very stylish guy, so when he got in touch with me and we started working together, I was thrilled.”

The two will start their debut collection off with a signature suit made in an ice-white color. (Pimpin’… right?) James hopes Smokey will wear the suit before the collection hits department stores. Robinson and Andrew will also be creating a womenswear line with accessories, cologne and perfumes. Are WE tired of celebs becoming designers or could Smokey’s line have the potential to be a dope collection? [Source]
