As of June 1, 2012, Lil Wayne's clothing line will be available at Macy's department stores and at its online store. This is a strategic move for Lil Wayne since Macy's is an iconic American shopping destination.
This debut took place at the Beverly Center Macy's in Los Angeles, and Lil Wayne was joined by skateboard sensation and friend Stevie Williams with his brand DGK. Lil Wayne and Stevie Williams attended a meet and greet, and a special reception for fans who had bought product from the brands.
Since January 2012 Lil Wayne has added creative director to his list of impressive accomplishments. This brand features comfortable and quality streetwear inspired by popular culture, skater styles and street art.
