Chris Brown Launches Black Pyramid Clothing Line

Over the past few years, Chris Brown has shown that his talent extends past the stage by launching new ventures in art and fashion. Just last week, he celebrated the launch of his new clothing line, Black Pyramid, which is a collaboration with the popular streetwear brand Pink + Dolphin. Chris was first introduced to Pink + Dolphin during a video shoot with Big Sean and after receiving a sample piece to wear in the video, Chris decided to team up with the clothing company to create a line of his own. While speaking on his decision to name his new line Black Pyramid, he said: The black pyramid label is basically an unknown art. We really haven’t mastered the art of making a pyramid ourselves, like the ancient ones, so it’s kinda like an unknown art. So I think my painting, my designs, whatever I do fashion wise is unknown to a lot of people. Meanwhile, Chris is definitely keeping himself busy. Aside from launching his new clothing line and his new foundation Symphonic Love, it was also announced today that he has signed with Wilhelmina Models Artist Management division in hopes of landing new fashion and beauty endorsements.
