I-nnovation,
I-n style, I-raj presents I-Wear..
For the first time in the history of Sri Lanka's entertainment and
fashion industry, Lanka’s very own Maestro of Hip-Hop - Iraj
Weeraratne, will be launching his own clothes line.
Labelled
'I - Wear', the line will be a reflection of Iraj's musical image
and a tribute to his fans for their support and commitment. The
range has been designed by some of the most fashionable designers
in Sri Lanka and is already in the production line getting ready
for an extravagant summer launch event.
Iraj and his team confirm that the plan for a clothes line has been
in the offing since December 2005.
Purely
not satisfied with the tremendous musical and cultural influence
Iraj's music has had on Sri Lanka, he is now determined to make
an impact on the island's trends and the increasingly fashion conscious
youth. The clothes will be mostly targeted at his young fan base,
both male and female, and in recognising that it stretches from
the Urban to the Rural - the clothes have all been manufactured
at high quality but low cost, with cut pricing techniques adopted
in order to make it affordable to all his fans and the fashion conscious.
Iraj
will be collaborating with ODEL for the production of the clothes
line.
‘ODEL has given Iraj and his team tremendous support, encouragement
and professional advice in making this project a reality.
‘However,
out of town fans should not be disappointed. Although ODEL will
be selling the I-Wear range in its fashionable outlets in Colombo,
the I-Wear range will also be soon available in both urban and rural
centres around the island’ Iraj said.
Iraj
confirms that he wants all his fans to be able to access his range
of clothes and appreciates the amazing support he has received from
his fans everywhere.
Today
Iraj has become a source of inspiration to not only breakthrough
acts in the music industry but more older performers. His innovative
and high quality productions have today set for the benchmark for
the industry with this latest spin off one of his many contributions
to its development.
The
most exciting part of the I-Wear range will be its Launch Party,
which will follow a massive advertising blitz around the country.
‘The only thing that I can be revealed to the public so far
is that it will be held most likely in June, just in time for the
summer festivities‘ he added. The event will be held on an
extravagant scale open to everyone.
