Bon Jovi: Richie Sambora Mmmm Fashion

A little David Bowie Reference there in the title.

British Vogue reviewed Richie Sambora's UK debut of his fashion line (w/Nikki Lund) (Ok, I hate it when people spell their name Nikki, its like stop ripping off Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue, no one did it til he came along and now for 30 years everyone wants to be Nikki, not Nicky or Nickie, but the more I guess devilish Nikki *rant*)

Bon Jovi’s Richie Sambora Has a Fashion Line…And British Vogue Checked it Out

By LAUREN SHERMAN

We love British culture for tons of reasons, but one that is that the Brits are unabashed about their love of celebrities. Even high fashion books and blogs like Vogue UK get in on the act–not a hint of snobbery to be detected.

This time around, Vogue UK’s fashion editor Julia Neel reviewed White Trash Beautiful, a new apparel collection designed by…wait for it…Bon Jovi’s Richie Sambora.

We somehow missed that the collection was shown this past March at L.A. Fashion Week, but Neel was kind enough to fill us in: “The clothes are exactly what you would expect the lead guitarist of one of the world’s most famous rock ‘n’ roll bands to want women to wear: seductively revealing, often spray-on and always dramatic.”

Sambora and co-designer Nikki Lund say that their ideal customer is Jennifer Aniston. We think it’s a bit too…how can we put this delicately…tacky…for the likes of Aniston, but another Sambora favorite, Megan Fox, is sure to bite.

The duo are so confident about the label that they’re planning on expanding into menswear. Jon Bon Jovi himself has already worn custom jackets from the collection on stage.

Click through to see looks from the collection. And thanks again to Neel for covering something beyond the latest It designer.

My personal favorite from the WTB line:

I can just see Richie asking, "Can you add a zipper to the crotch, you know easier access..."

I'll be wearing that to my next Outback Steakhouse outing.  (after losing 100 pounds and a few ribs)
