The Pretenders lead singer Chrissie Hynde is teaming up with songwriter JP Jones for a host of creative endeavors. Along with a new band called JP, Chrissie & the Fairground Boys and an album on the way, the duo has an animal-friendly clothing line in the works.
The edgy fashion collection will be called Fairground Luck in memory of Jones’ childhood living as the son of a carnival arcade owner. With Hynde a committed vegetarian and PETA activist, the label looks to create rock and roll inspired style without the leather. The fashion range will include handbags and cowboy boots, T-shirts, jackets, and sexy skinny jeans.
There’s no word yet on price points, or when we can expect the Fairground Luck fashions in stores, but I’m already excited. We know that these musicians are creative types, so I’m interested to see how that artistic sensibility translates to the fashion world. How about you?
