Andre 3000's Clothing Line May Go Bust

Take this all with a grain of salt, as the source is a little questionable, but the rumor has been running rampant around the internet, so we couldn't not post it -- Andre 3000's clothing line, Benjamin Bixby, may be going bust, after less than a year of existence!

Profits have plummeted. The brand sells high end -- meaning, expensive -- men's clothing. Men are a hard target market to begin with and in this economy who really has extra cash to be tossing around?

In the words of Ice - T, during financial crisis time, "You don't want to be like, 'D*mn, I wish I didn't buy that $8,000 jacket.'"

However, GQ could save the brand. The magazine has nominated it for the Best New Menswear Designers Award. If Benjamin Bixby wins, they'll be awarded 50k in cash, as well as the opportunity to do a jeans collection for Levi.
