LIL WAYNE: TRUKFIT T-SHIRT DESIGNER

Taking notes from other Hip Hop artists/entrepreneurs, Lil Wayne has now started up his own fashion label. While he won't be showing in Milan this weekend the rapper will start us off with a range of t-shirts under the brand Trukfit which he presented on Thursday.

Pajama swag they're calling it because 'everybody's into suits right now" says Marisa Flores, Wayne's stylist, that it's all about being comfortable. Perhaps we don't share the same relaxed sentiments of rolling out of bed and chucking on a good tee. The event had models painted silver and dressed in cargo shorts and socks pulled up and saw thd likes of Russell Simmons showing up for support.

Trukfit is an acronym for “The Reason You Kill For It". Thoughts?

THE Jamp MET 2012 MADE DIFFERENT

On the 28th of January the J&B Met will take place and for the first time ever I will be attending. Like, ever-ever. Of course in lieu of fancy masks you can barely see out of I am just going to wear some fancy sunglasses instead. Sunglass Hut is hosting the Inner Circle marquee at the Met, which is precisely where I will be. The theme is 'Made Different' and encourages you to wear something you wouldn't ordinarily wear. Yeh, I'm just going to wear what I want.

Tickets are on sale for R1,500 and include a VIP style party and a R2,000 SGH gift voucher which can be redeemed on the day. Only 200 tickets are available in total so if you want to join me at the races email events@sunglasshut.co.za or call 021 286 6119.

See you there?

J&B MET 2012

I have avoided events like these in the past but Sunglass Hut hosted their own tent at the J&B Met this year and so I had to check it out. Not only was the 'Inner Circle' a buzzing but chilled version of the hubbub across the tracks, it was lined with tents for various companies spilling with the most interesting attire I've seen in a while. Granted, there were many outfits I wish my eyes had not seen but despite what I have heard it wasn't all bad. Woman wore hats and fascinators (as seen with my hot date below, Kelly Gray), large and colourful dresses and even got their men to dress up too. I opted for shorts so it surprised me how many men came dressed in 3-piece suits. And SUSPENDERS! They were everywhere. 

In the SGH tent ticket holders were treated to drinks and snacks and got to take home a new pair of shades. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me. Did you go? What did you think?
