Could rapper T.I. be Andre 3000′s new fashion competitor. T.I.’s new line AKOO or “A King Of Oneself” had the same retro ivy league collegiate in mind with letterman sweaters and knit cardigans aplenty (very Benjamin Bixby) for the holiday season. Granted AKOO does have an urban updated look, but T.I. has been veering away from the typical street look by adding more sophisticated pieces. With price points ranging from $45 to  $1000, chances are there will be something in the mix that fits any sort of budget. Which in that case, T.I. might be the next J.Lo phenomenon: you don’t want to like the designs, but you just might find a piece or two that you do.
