Dallas Austin - Designer
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Last weekend local entertainment force Dallas Austin was doing worthwhile charity work (at his annual Don’t Stop The Music fundraiser).
This weekend the producer behind top-selling female trio TLC, Gwen Stefani, Madonna and many multimillion-selling others is about working runaways.
Today at a private Virginia Highlands location, Austin (top photo) is unveiling The ROWDY Collection he and The CI Group’s Gregory “Greg Mike” Mensching created. Prices will range from $70 to $300 when the line hits boutiques and stores later this year. And its being touted as “a fusion of punk and prep influences, with a distinctive European militant touch.”
Longtime Atlanta Music Scene observers will recall that Rowdy was also Austin’s first record label imprint, plus he had a Rowdy store in Underground Atlanta that sold Rowdy clothing.
One of the things that’s new about this ROWDY is the tagline: “Rowdy, King of All Angels,” which according to the press release is “inspired by Austin’s adopted philosophy of the fallen angel, who found his own strength after being cast from heaven and transforming himself into a villian of good. After discovering his true warrior within, the angel proved himself to God and became the King of All Angels.”
From what you see here, interested in ROWDY clothing? What person in the music business do you believe has great personal style, that may translate in a clothing line? (Remember, Austin joins fellow Atlantans Andre Benjamin and part-timer Sean “Diddy” Combs in this kind of venture).
