Remember when it used to actually surprise us when a celebrity took on a side project or pursued a second career path? Like Madonna as an actress, Michael Jordan as a baseball player, or Eddie Murphy as a singer (that was something<\/a>…).\u00a0 But that time has since passed, and now that\u00a0every entertainer has at least two or three different projects under their belt, it\u00a0probably doesn’t come as that much of a shock to find out that the newest performer gone fashion designer is Andrew W.K. You can check out his designs, here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Looking at his T-shirt designs, you may care, you may not. But the reason I\u00a0paid attention for more than a few seconds\u00a0is because, according to this recent article on iaam.com<\/a>, back in the day Andrew W.K. had every intention of being a fashion designer, and was accepted to a\u00a0 design program in NY right out of high school (weird), before he decided to devote his life to…partying hard…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But honestly, I find most of his designs to be pretty boring–especially\u00a0knowing he takes\u00a0an interest in design–but maybe I should at least give him points for having a consistent vision?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And speaking of consistency, or perhaps lack thereof,\u00a0you may recall Kanye West’s\u00a0 rather sloppy design debut <\/a>(compared to most, that’s putting it nicely), but judging from his recent\u00a0appearance at Paris Fashion Week–an example shown above–it looks like he just may be getting his act together…<\/p>\n

So seriously, who’s next–who else is ready to claim fashion design as their latest endeavor? Anyone want to take any bets?<\/p>\n
