Without getting in the details of sales and margins, it seems the most successful celebrity fashion line is ran by one of the most successful hip hop singer: 50 cents.

His clothing company is G unit clothing which is making a killing since 2003.

And, no, that company doesn’t sell exclusively bullet proof vests!

What is the secret of the success of Fifty cents clothing line?

- First, it is worn by 50 cents himself, which means a lot of exposure given the success of the artist.

- Second, this company is now seven years old, which means it had enough time to invest any country in the world.

- Third, and not the least one of the partners of this company is Marc Ecko, famous owner of Ecko Unlimited.

Ecko is a clothing brand that I personally look up to.  They got great tee-shirt designs.
The ECKO hoodies and jeans are pretty good too. They also do great footwear.

Judge by yourself: Here is a classic T-shirt signed Ecko.

ECKO unlimited classic style

Now the question I was asking myself is:

How did Ecko move from classic Skatewear / hip hop wear styles into more rock orientated styles?

See the tee-shirt design below, can you tell me it does NOT Rock?

Most popular Ecko T-shirts look very rock n roll in terms of design.

I think both the classic style and the new -rock- style are great. Designers in this company rock!!!

It feels like we are back in the eighties when Run DMC came up with Walk this way.

It feels that the fashion trend nowadays doesn’t separate influences from hip hop and rock.

Instead, they blend into each other and create a new style that rocks like Run.

I am definitely the right guy to push this influence into the creation of more mixed designs for the REAL DEAL clothing line.

Watch me out! I know what’s good and I know what’s great. You will verify this by yourself in the REAL
DEAL wholesale street-wear catalog coming up soon.

While writing this article I found out that my favorite skateboard decks brand – Zoo York – belongs to the same guys who created Ecko.
