THROWING SOME D'S ON DOWNTOWN FASHION

                BY ARTHUR L. MACK

     In what is sure to create a buzz on the fashion scene, nationally-acclaimed rapper Rich Boy and master tailor Wilton Terry plan to join forces and move fashion forward in downtown Mobile.
    
     Not many details have been given regarding the project, which is scheduled to start in early 2012, but it is sure to turn the fashion industry on its ear.

     A building in downtown Mobile is currently being renovated in order to produce the clothing line, which means that ultimately, jobs will be created. That alone will generate some excitement, said Terry, who is part of the Fashion Forward Group and owner of Master Tailors.

     "The clothing line will not only be marketed, but produced and manufactured right here in Mobile," Terry said. "We will be able to teach individuals how to produce the product, as well as work with busnesses to get the product out worldwide."    

      Rich Boy, whose last hit single Throw Some D's On It, made platinum, is really excited about the project: "I'm really passionate about it," he said. "It will generate a lot more interest in downtown Mobile. It will be a chance to bring more retail to the area. With my extensive travels to major cities, I noticed they were plentiful with retail stores downtown, and that was someting that's lacking in Mobile."

      "It shows that we're not only dealing with entertainment, but also getting business people involved," said Terry. "It's exciting that Rich Boy is following up a platinum hit single with a clothing line. He has a following of more than a million listeners, and with the highest quality of goods based and advertised right here in Mobile, it will allow the city to be elevated to the next level."



WHY DO WOMEN DRESS THEIR MEN OR SIGNIFICANT OTHER?


LUCY said, "because men don't have as much style as us  and they go for comfort more than style."

KATE simply said,"men have no style."


Fashion forward was downtown Mobile randomly asking people why do women dress their men or significant others. We ran into many who had some interesting comments such as: Cindy who stated "that men do not know how to blend colors" and Blair stated "that women want their men to look how we want them to look" if you have a cmment on this topic please tweet us!
