One of the most revered Rap talents is bringing his talents back to fashion. André 3000 is launching his own brand workwear line.
As per High Snobiety, the Atlanta, Georgia, native continues to evolve with his art and style. Since the release of his instrumental flute album, New Blue Sun, in November 2023, the esteemed MC has been synonymous with apparel that would be suitable for garden work. This seems to be intentional as this week, the website revealed that he has a workwear brand in the works.
Writer Tayler Willson claims the “So Fresh, So Clean” rapper is working with a “currently-unnamed Dutch label” to bring the vision to life. Additionally, the journalist speculates the project is being curated in partnership with Bonne Reijn, founder of BONNE. The Amsterdam tailor is known for his bold but approachable twist to suiting and outerwear.
In his cover story for High Snobiety, 3 Stacks detailed his love for overalls; which have a mainstay in his wardrobe since ATLiens. “Whenever I’m on the street, at least for a month, whenever I see someone with overalls on, they’re going to get a free pair,” André says. “Because I know they’re overall lovers. It takes a certain person to wear overalls. They’re like grown-people baby clothes. They feel very comfortable — that’s why I love them.”
Currently, André 3000 is on tour for New Blue Sun until March.

It was more than about playing dress up for the 44-year-old, though. She’s also a fan of how comfortable and easy the pieces are to incorporate into practically any look.
“Styling all of my SKIMS looks was so fun, and my favorite piece was the SKIMS Sculpting Mid Thigh Bodysuit,” said Furtado in a press statement. “The fabric is amazing and feels so good and secure on my body. It makes me feel excited about getting dressed, and I love working it into my wardrobe for both work and play.””
In case you needed an excuse to add even more of the chic-yet-comfortable leggings and shapewear to your rotation, SKIMS also tapped the shoulders of other stars they consider “renowned women across entertainment,” including Kim Cattrall, Lana Condor, Coco Jones and Hari Nef, who also showed off their favorite Skims pieces.

The neckline has also been modernized with zero stitching to allow it to lie flatter.

The material is made with full support that’ll aim to sit on your hips — in other words, reduce the need to constantly pull up your tights. Plus, you can layer them under pants, skirts, dresses and more.

In need of a pair of shapewear? Furtado prefers this mid-thigh style and it’s easy to see why. Not only does it come 10 shades to choose from, but it’s made with strong compression that targets the stomach, waist and legs. As an added bonus, the material has butt-lifting pockets in the back to help create a more lifted appearance.

Dreamville Records, spearheaded by J. Cole and Ibrahim Hamad, remain one of the top artistic collectives in the music game at the moment. Today (Feb. 24), Dreamville and Daily Paper, a fashion brand out of London, joined forces to launch the stunning Dream Daily collection.
The new drop from Dreamville Records and Daily Paper brings together a vision of what the two labels’ styles would look like while attending university. The new campaign is fashioned like a college yearbook with seven custom pieces in warm colorways and includes letterman jackets, sweatsuits, hoodies, and much more.
Here’s more from the creators:
Inspired by the rich cultural heritage of The Great Mosque of Djenné, Djinguereber Mosque and University of Timbuktu / Sankore championing the power of storytelling and education.
Daily Paper and internationally-acclaimed and multi-platinum record label Dreamville come together to collaborate on a capsule collection entitled ‘Dream Daily’.
As vehicles of culture, music, fashion and art as a means to empower, both brands align on core values and vision. A testimony to their communities and dedication to uplift each other and champion untold stories, the collaboration is an ode to the rich history of the African continent, its contribution. Paying homage to the historical Great Mosque of Djenné, Djinguereber Mosque and University of Sankore / Timbuktu Mali
Considered to be one of the first educational institutions in the world the collection takes inspiration from this part of history that is often untold. With both brands starting their respective labels during their university years, we reimagine what a Daily Paper x Dreamville University would look like.
This comes ahead of J. Cole bringing the Dreamville Festival back to his native North Carolina on April 1-2 this spring.
For fans who wish to pick up the pieces for themselves, items can be purchased by following this link and at Daily Paper locations in Amsterdam, London, and New York.
