THE CLIPSE TALK PLAY CLOTHS

The Clipse made to the move into the clothing game just a few seasons ago. Their first two seasons of Play Cloths literally flew off the shelves of the top boutiques around the globe. While putting the finishing touches on their upcoming album "'Til The Casket Drops," the boys from The Clipse are gearing up to dropthe new season of Play Cloth. Street Level sat down with The Clipse to talk Play Cloths.

Y'all debuted Play Cloths at Magic in '08. How have you been refining it since then?

P: We just been trying to get on calendar with the s***. This is our third season out and this is our first season on calendar with summer. We've already sold it. It's great. People love it. The first two seasons were just as good too. It looked really good in the stores and everybody liked it so [we're] just pushing forward and creating more and preparing for the future.

Is their any fashion wisdom you picked up from Pharrell and his Billionaire Boys Club, as far as pushing Play Cloths?

M: That's pretty much what jump started it. Rubbing elbows with Pharrell looking at what he's doing, being introduced to Nigo, ya know, and having our fans just being influenced by our fashion. It only made sense for us to go ahead and try our hands at the clothing line. I think thus far it's been successful and I'm really happy about it.

Clipse definitely had some influence in getting Bape out there, was that a motivator too?

M: [Nod their heads] Exactly

P: Yeah, definitely . . . BAPE definitely helped put us in a lane and in a light and I think we did a lot for that company too. The whole inspiration behind it was a fan thing. We going to the show and we got on the exclusive shit we just got in the mail and the fans be like, "Oh shit!" This is before I'm really Hypebeasting and shit. I'm just like, "Nah, Nigo just threw this s*** over here." They're like, "Yo, he got on the general jacket, but it's his area code numbers up there!" I'm like, "Okay, let's get a crack at it."
