Russell Simmons issues statement about new clothing line
Posted on Thursday, February 26, 2009
Since announcing his deal distribution with Walmart earlier this month, Russell Simmons has seen media increasingly tag his new men’s apparel line, American Classics, as a product narrowly tagged to the urban consumer. For the first time, Simmons breaks his silence on the topic via his site, GlobalGrind.com, saying the following:
“American Classics is meant to reflect classic style for everyone. So when I notice that WWD and others have described my American Classics line as urban, for those writers you have to ask yourself, what defines my line as urban? Their definition of urban seems almost to be a bad word and is certainly a confining one. My intention is to dress America without limitation. My designs speak for themselves and make clear that intention…. Respectfully, American Classics is for those people who shop at Wal-Mart who are interested making fashion forward sophisticated choices. It has given me great satisfaction, and giving Americans more for less is a challenge I am up for.” – Russell Simmons
