The Saint models strutted in apparels ranging from blazers, pants, trench coats, sport jackets to t-shirts and merinos, none were short of the Drenz swag. The Drenzified edge that was presented through the apparels were very noticeable and worthy of such. The brand exhibited that it’s much more than a t-shirt brand and will be one to be reckoned with, showing off some very clever and GQ designs that still clenched on to its street appeal.

The line was well received due to the element of surprise within the line, and the brand continues to relish in great reviews. They switched up the levels and showed some formal and casu-formal designs that were indeed Style Week worthy.
We caught up with Richie Drenz to ask a few questions.

Question: What was the inspiration for your collection?

Answer: The collection was inspired by two things, remaining street and being different. We wanted to take to the table some Drenzy stuffs that would add value to Saints production, whilst showing off our unique approach to fashion.

Question: How did you get on the Style Week event?

Answer: It was kind of a weird way that we got on. I was at my friend’s house party, Aleef Davis and he introduced me to a friend of his Gillian Pottinger, we exchanged like 2 lines, then couple weeks later she called asking me if I would like an opportunity to be on Style Week because she had just done a model meeting with someone from Saints. I welcomed the opportunity, went through the stages and here I am. So at that moment I almost got in from someone I didn’t even know, however we have since then developed a friendship.

Question: What should we expect from Drenz fashion in the near future?

Answer: I want to master my craft even more and make even more fashionably savvy apparels that have an international appeal yet still street. The Drenz Fashion website will be coming later this year. I ultimately want to be the best at GQ and casual fashion that is street and a representative Jamaica.

The brand had just closed the Magnum Kings & Queens of the Dancehall with a smashing collection, Light up Style Week, where’s next?

It’s one of the most popular fashion events of the holiday season, and earlier today (November 19) the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was filmed in New York City.

With Heidi Klum acting as host, the latest sexy looks were on display as the world famous Victoria’s Secret Angels strutted their stuff on the runway while the audience looked on in awe.

One of the highlights of the night was when Marisa Miller showed off the $3 million Fantasy Bra, studded with over 150 carats of diamonds.

In addition, Miranda Kerr, Selita Ebanks, Alessandra Ambrosio, and other Angels added plenty of hotness to the sexy occasion, while the Black Eyed Peas performed at the catwalk show scheduled to air on CBS on December 1st.

This week, the fashion mogul inked a deal with Iconix — the brand which owns clothing lines like Rocawear, Mossimo and Joe Boxer — giving up a 51 percent share in the Mark Ecko brand.

In exchange, he’ll receive $63.5 million cash and $90 million in financing for the joint venture with Iconix.

Despite the sale, Ecko didn’t seemed too worried when he spoke to the New York Post, saying that if he had to walk away from everything, he wouldn’t look back.

“I’ve had a crazy, wild ride. I’ve done a lot of things that have been naive,” Ecko told the paper. “I’ll take my lumps for a lot of things that, in retrospect, were a little indulgent. Life happens. I don’t regret any of it.

“I’ve lived through a leveraged position,” he continued. “I don’t know whether, once you grow up your business like that, you have full control anymore anyway.”

Iconix will keep Ecko on as Chief Creative Officer in the new joint venture, said reports.

The Ecko Unlimited line may be undergoing changes following the deal, since its decline in recent years … due, in part, to the ever changing styles of fashion.

But, under new management, the line will evolve says Iconix.

“Kids are not wearing big, baggy things with logos on them — it just looks different now,” Iconix CEO Neil Cole said. “I promise you these kids are not naked out there and they’re not wearing my father’s clothes.”

In 2007, Marc Ecko purchased Barry Bonds’ 756th home run ball, via an online auction for just over $752,000. Maybe, it’s time to re-think those types of purchases.
