Andre “3000″ Benjamin Makes GQ’s “Best New Designers Of 2009″ List

Funny thing is we’ve never seen anybody wearing the designs

Here’s what Been Jammin had to say about his line, “During OutKast’s Stankonia period, I looked like I was from Mars. The music was otherworldly, and my character reflected that. I wanted to put that spirit into classic clothes, but ones that people could actually wear…I think the cut of Benjamin Bixby comes from comic-book characters, which I’ve been drawing since I was a kid. In comic books, the waist is always pinched, but the legs are full-cut, kind of like the Cracker Jack man…In high school, in Atlanta, when Grand Puba told us to wear Girbaud jeans, I wore Girbaud jeans. Then you had this prep movement happening: Ralph Lauren, Eddie Bauer, Bass, Sebago, and Timberland. So imagine me walking through [local housing project] Bowen Homes in the morning to catch the bus, but I’m dressed like a prep. As you get older, you go back to those things.”

Others to make the list include Save Khaki, Yigal Azrouël and Rogues Gallery.

I predict Rogues will win b/c it’s more in-line with the CondeNast day-to-day wardrobe and lifestyle. Last year’s winners, Engineered Garments, contuine to champoin ahead, even in theis dire economy. RIP to last year’s nominees Obedient Sons & Daughters.

I hope Bixby can survive this market
