You’re invited!
Although the self proclaimed King of the South, T.I., has a bit more sitting in time out to do, his clothing label AKOO recently debuted its Spring 2012 collection during (not at; there IS a difference) New York Fashion week. Among the crowd were a few familiar faces from the C & D list such as: Basketball Wife reject Meeka Claxton and her husband Speedy, Hosea Chanchez, Victor Cruz, Bethany Barber and a few others we won’t bother mentioning.
The show, which was presented by Creative Director Ralph Reynolds, appeared to be one of the livest we’ve seen in a while. The looks were well-styled and put together, and worn by some of the sexiest models. There was even a live performance by Nuttin but Strings. The show itself was a pleasant surprise coming from a brand that we haven’t really been keeping an eye on. The clothes embodied the all American urban sportswear aesthetic that can transcend from a casual day in NY,
