President Elect Obama is geting ready to take office, and the hype about who’s designs he is going to wear on inaguarion day are already swirling. WWD is hosting a crap ton of pictures from all the biggest designers of their designs for the soon to be President’s suits on the historic day. Designers like Marc Jacobs, Sean John, D Squared, Ferragamo, Thom Browne and Rag and Bone have all submitted designs. For all the images head over to WWD and check them out.

PS: Does this completely annoy anyone else besides me? He’s our President to be who cares what he’s wearing? All that matters is that he does something to turn our country around. I in no way hope this happens, but what happens if he flops as a President? Talk about a lot of people being embarassed.

Enjoy the pictures

Normally when everyone sits comfortably in their seats during fashion week they expect new fresh designs from a variety of designers; however, there’s been a glitch in the trend. When it comes to the issue of presenting his Sean John collection during spring fashion week, Diddy’s saying hell no! In fact, the only presentation Diddy has planned is an editors’ convention occurring this month. It’s certainly quite a shift from last years Sean John presentation during fashion week. Oh well, I guess we’ll just have to celebrate without Mr. Combs.

“Nelly has the attitude, the swagger, and most of all the physique that our customers can both aspire and relate to … And let’s be honest, all of the ladies out there are going to be thanking us for this campaign,” says a spokesperson for Sean John.

Daniel and I were discussing this venture over the weekend and come up with the conclusion that these ads are not that exciting. I thought Sean John was trying to revolutionize men’s clothing by moving completely away from any “ghetto” stereotypes. This ad in particular is so stereotypical of what is “ghetto” in fashion, with his jeans ultra baggy, hanging so low that the underwear are revealed and they are so long they bunch on the floor. Now what is soo cool about this? Yes, Nelly looks hot, he has an amazing body, no one is disputing that, but this campaign is in no way stylish, trendy, or revolutionary. Very disappointing!!!

Give the modern hip hop loving black man a collection he can actually appreciate or get the fuck out of fashion Diddy.
