Starting November 20th, Jay-Z will be partnering with Barney's New York for a holiday collection that will find itself flying off shelves...if the mega rich have anything to say about it. As part of the collection, Jay-Z will be teaming up with the legendary timepiece company, Hublot (The company Jay-Z name drops in "Otis"). The wrist watches will come in two editions: black ceramic and 18k gold. The watches are definitely works of art (What else would you expect from Mr. Carter?!), but those price tags are too rich for my blood. If you want to get your hands on one of these guys, you'll have to be ready and willing to shell out $17,900 for the black ceramic and $33,900. Wow!! At those prices, it's definitely going to be a Christmas miracle if you get your hands on one of these babies. In the mean time, here are pics to add to your mental Wish List.
Not to be outdone, King James has also designed a watch. This one comes in at an unreasonable $51,500 and can be snapped up in South Beach. South Beach? $51,500? Yeah, that's a pro ball player's life for you....
The drama. The suspense. The down payment on a house.
No one says hip-hop has to be all about looking like you'd fit in if you found yourself hanging out with the guys around the block. Yes, 'urban' wear has its place in hip-hop culture. Yes, there are still certain looks that are hallmarks of the hip-hop lifestyle, but it's also important for men to understand that there is another look that works just as well. It's the GQ look. Many rappers today are flipping through the pages of the latest issue, poring over pages of wardrobe inspiration and finding sneaky ways to update their looks, infusing more of the Dapper Dan look into their everyday wear. Visions of Kanye West in Paris are dancing through my head right now, but for a better feel of what I mean, look to the pictures of GQ's latest photo shoot with Big Sean. If you like what you see and you're feeling inspired, give it a shot. You never know...this could be your new look.
