Pete Wentz for DKNY Jeans: First Look

pete wentz1.jpgPete Wentz already designs hoodies and t-shirts for his own label, Clandestine Industries.

The Fall Out Boy bassist has also been a face of The Gap, but it seems the fashion industry can’t get enough.

This Fall, Pete and Clandestine launches a capsule collection for DKNY Jeans. The line retails for $39 - $298. It won’t be out until August - right when Fall Out Boy’s tour with Cobra Starship wraps - but of course we couldn’t wait that long.

Instead, we’ve got some exclusive photos of the line, plus some details worthy of Tiger Beat:

*Pete had a makeup artist apply his black kohl eyeliner, which was from Duane Reade

*Pete and the models ate Kobe beef burgers, which were not from Duane Reade

*The graphics on the clothes were inspired by Pete’s tatoos

*Pete was extremely involved in the styling of the clothes and the model casting, which may be why one of the models looks a little like Ashlee…

Now that we’ve had our US Weekly moment - would you wear the clothes?

For the Pete Wentz fans out there, check out his talk about how he got help after the band's success drove him into a depression.

maybe to the Coachella house... but looks like the line will come out too late!

tangent: is it me or does DKNY seem more desperate than usual to rock 'the youth'? their Coachella promos are nonstop on Jonesy’s Jukebox – shouting at me to win radio passes to the DKNY jeans house (here: http://www.indie1031.fm/ )

fashion Kevin Bacon game? Jonesy to Vivienne Westwood (of course)

sorry for all of my bitching, but these musicians and celebrities have no business "designing." it makes me sick. i went to design school and worked for a big designer, working my way up. any celebrity asshole can have a clothing line these days. what a joke.

the only "okay" piece is the leather jacket, maybe as seperates those pieces might be okay, cept the dog shirt, but together they look terrible...i hope he didn't design that models lace up shoes. stick to the hoodies and t's pete, they work so much better and they actually look good, and they're cheap...why stray away from things that work?

QOUTE "sorry for all of my bitching, but these musicians and celebrities have no business "designing." it makes me sick. i went to design school and worked for a big designer, working my way up. any celebrity asshole can have a clothing line these days. what a joke.

Posted by: sick of "celebrity designers"


I agree with this person im a aspiring fashion designer and all these celeb's use their name and status to start clothing lines. While we the people have to bust our balls for top designers to one day hope to start our own clothing lable. I think pete has great fashion sense and those clothes were alright. They weren't something that popped out to me mabye the shirt with Hemmy on it, and not even. I feel that shirt he wore of hemmy in andy worhol type print made by his friend looked way better than that one with hemmy on it. The shoes were kick ass but they were prob just put on the model. Lol im trying to get in contact with pete ahaha i wanna try and see if i can inturn, freelance, or design for his lable. I have lots of ideas and pete if you see this "yeah right" let me know ahahah. i need to hit up some of my connects to try and make that happen. In the fashion industry it's not what you know it's who you know. But these celeb's have it easy look at these over night celeb's Talia Tequelia and Forbidden they have their own clothing lines. They get a lil celebrity and pose for Playboy and then they launch they clothing lines.

i already have a clandestine shirt with hemingway, and i got to say that its way better than this one. However, i am a true fall out boy/pete wentz supporter and would probably wear some of this lines' stuff, but i would have to actually like it instead of being like OMG LOOK AT MY CLOTHES PETE DESIGNED THEM!

The Hemmy shirt is really cute, mainly because of Hem, but I don't know if I really like the big "square" design. Like maybe if it didn't have the "pointy square" part going up to the shoulder.

I love how most of the people saying that these clothes suck are probably stupid little 'sceneXcore', MySpace-obsessed, Fall Out Boy -worshipping fucks.
You wouldn't know fashion if it came up and smacked you in the face.

I think the jacket is divine, I saw it on the Teen Vogue website in one of their back-to-school pictorials and I just HAVE to have it.

I hate Pete Wentz though. He's a dumbass. And I agree with the whole 'celebs-shouldn't-be-designing' thing. That only works for Gwen Stefani. Because everything works for Gwen Stefani.
