New From Russell Simmons
Phat Farm creator Russell Simmons has his eye on a new market: upscale menswear. Simmons will launch Russell Simmons Argyle Culture, created for the “urban graduates who have ’arrived’ in the world.” Produced by St. Louis–based Kellwood Co., Argyle Couture will feature casual styles reworked in more-traditional fabrics. For example, the line will include a five-pocket denim silhouette in suiting materials, including wool, cotton blends and pin stripes.
