The funky-town styles of Outkast member Andre 3000 have transferred into his eccentric clothing line Benjamin Bixby.
The musician/actor comes back with another hit collaboration (not on the charts or in the box office) in the form of Elephant Suspenders teaming up with a cool yellow and navy blue Metalclip Belt.
The old-school college-esque fashion stays true to the persona of Andre 3000 that his fans have come to know and love. The funk that intertwines old school and new school is very evident in this awesome set of accessories.
