Since T.I. has been a free man he’s been all business. The free time locked away has given him more direction in his business ventures, specifically his AKOO clothing line. He recently told MTV that he has big plans for AKOO.
“The direction of the clothing line, in my eyes, is upscale urban apparel,” Tip said, sitting in the Ace Hotel. “I just wanna continue to diversify. Continue to grow. Continue to speak to the cool kids of America. That’s my idealistic outcome.”
“It’s all gonna be comfortable,” Tip said of his clothes. “Everything is gonna be comfortable, casual. To me, we got V-neck tees, crew-neck tees, wovens. Denim is a big part of the lines. We actually pride ourselves on the quality of our denim, especially at the price point we at. We got fleece. We got a lot of imagery, distinctive imagery on our pieces, that sets us apart from everything else going on out there.”
Check the video for the full interview. Expect the new line of AKOO to release in the coming months as they just finished their look book photo shoot.
I think that T.I.’s new clothing lines is going to tank before it even gets started

Its already been out and I heard doing ok. Looks better than a lot of the other trash out there.
I actually hope it keeps going and does well. It’s tough though…seeing all these hip-hop clothing labels go under proves even having a fan base can’t help you necessarily sell clothes.
