After becoming one of the world’s most famous rap artists as well as beginning what looks to be a promising career in the move industry, T.I. is poised to take the fashion world by storm with his apparel line, AKOO, a men’s sportswear and lifestyle brand that aptly stands for “A King of Oneself.”

As he consistently makes the entertainment industry’s best dressed lists and the fashion pages of magazines like GQ, T.I., along with his creative team at RP55 Group, is fine tuning his apparel line, AKOO, made especially for guys who appreciate the finer things in life without having to break the bank just to get a great look.

Styled after the artist himself who is known for moving seamlessly from designer, red-carpet-worthy tuxedos to good-looking casual clothes, the AKOO brand is designed for the guy who appreciates fashion and knows how to transform his style. “It’s really for a guy who is progressive,” says Geter, “Our customer is open minded, well traveled and conscious of what’s going on in fashion.”

“We really want to offer our customer options in expressing his personality, and that’s why we have such a broad line,” Reynolds adds. “AKOO is designed to help young guys express themselves and walk to their own beat.”
