Pete Wentz to design for Nordstrom
Filed under: Style in the News, Clothing, Celebrities with Style
Surprised to find out that Nordstrom is teaming up to do a collection with the guru of punky mall wear? Best known for playing bass in the I guess it's really not that surprising, since Wentz already designed a capsule collection for DKNY that came out last August. Still, Nordstrom is not DKNY, which takes a lot of risks with guest designers. Maybe they just think that Wentz is a bit of a guarantee, having an enormous fan-base of emo adolescents couldn't hurt sales. Obviously, this line is geared for juniors who are inclined to wear t-shirts inspired by Wentz's tattoos, so it'll be on display in the BP section.
Apparently, his t-shirts and jeans are meant to be unisex -- that seems like a remarkably bad idea -- but whatever. It won't stop junior high kids from pouring in to watch the Pete Wentz behind-the-scenes DVD as they loiter around the store. Let's just hope that Nordstrom isn't contractually obligated to jam Fall Out Boy's greatest hits.
