So Fresh, So Clean

HarrodsWe're sorry, Ms. (Janet) Jackson, but celebrity fashion lines are usually a wardrobe malfunction of the highest order: throw a star and a bunch of fancy garms together, and hope gawping sleb-sessed punters will part with cash on dubious trends. Yet André 3000 (née Benjamin) of OutKast holds a little more credibility. Over the years he's furrowed an idiosyncratic line in Thirties dandy-wear and collegiate apparel. His new Benjamin Bixby label, launched at a lavish London Fashion Week party last night, reflects just that. Using refined fabrics, the line includes polo shirts, tweed trousers, and vintage athletic gear, alongside pricer woollen duffle coats. You'll need to visit Harrods to get your hands on them, as they're being sold exclusively at the Knightsbridge emporium.
