Jay-Z Buys Billionaire Boys Club [NEWS]

GQ: On the eve of the release of Watch the Throne, his highly anticipated album with Kanye West, Jay-Z's adding more to his plate. GQ has learned that as of today, Jay-Z's fashion house, Rocawear, owns the licensing to manufacture and distribute Billionaire Boys Club. Sources say that Jay-Z and Pharrell, the current face and force behind BBC, will work as a tandem—utilizing Jay-Z's business prowess and Pharrell's creativity. Hypebeast, fret not! BBC won't be on the shelves of large department stores simply because it's under the Roc umbrella. But this is the backing that most streetwear brands don't have, which has lead to many shuttering their doors in recent years

Pharrell Talks BBC/Ice Cream Fall 2009 Preview

"Last night, Complex hit up the BBC/Ice Cream Fall ’09 preview to see what the ever-evolving clothing label had lined up for the upcoming season. They browsed racks of all-over printed pants, sweats, and toned down button-ups, but the talk of the collection was their new “Space Hunt” range, a set of pieces that seem to be inspired by equestrian sports.

"Even Pharrell made it clear that he’s feeling the horse-heavy pieces the most out of the new clothing. “I really like the hunting aspect of the collection, we did t-shirts, blazers and bags of the ‘Space Hunt’ stuff. When asked if the new prints were a risk for him and BBC, Skateboard P replied “We always take risks, but we never share with people what those risks are.” Besides the clothing grind, P told us he’s in the studio working with The Clipse, Shakira, Usher and Lupe Fiasco.
