After a number of stops and re-starts it looks like ex Ruff Ryders rapper Eve is closing her Fetish clothing line down for good.

Several years ago issues with a manufacturer forced Eve to close the line, but she launched again in late 2008 with a more upscale line that she hoped would cater to a more mature audience.

Of course, 2008 also brought a nationwide recession which made it difficult to regain footing in a crowded space that has become dominated by brands like Baby Phat and Beyonce’s House of Dereon.

Fetish items have been heavily discounted and are going fast. Pick yours up today.

Metal in the arm? I don’t know why I want that. But I do!!

The Sean John clothing brand has made its first major move by expanding operations into the Spanish market with an exclusive deal to sell the line in El Corte Ingles, a high-end department store. In a move that isn’t seen states’ side often, the store will set up Sean John shops within the main store.

Apparently, the move to Spain was largely because Sean John has seen such success with its fragrances there.

Truthfully, I’m a little surprised to hear Sean John hasn’t had a presence in Europe. They’re last few lines have had a pretty European slant to them. Hopefully they’ll stay true to their roots and won’t go overboard in trying to cater to the European market.
