Smokey Robinson has teamed up with the tailor of late boxing icon Joe Frazier to launch a new clothing line in 2012.
James Andrew, who has dressed R&B’s biggest stars for years, has been working closely with Robinson in recent months, and their suit, shirt and golfwear designs – the Smokey Robinson Collection – will hit stores in spring 2012, according to WENN.
Andrew, who was also planning to release a line with Frazier before he fell ill and died last month, tells WENN, “I have always been a fan of Smokey’s music, and he’s a very stylish guy. So when he got in touch with me and we started working together, I was thrilled.”
The signature item in the new Smokey Robinson Collection is an ice-white suit, which Andrew hopes his partner will model in 2012 before it becomes available at leading department stores.
