Yolanda Adams Launching Couture Line, "Yolandas Clozet

Settling into her own better place and taking a minute with EUR’s Lee Bailey, the statuesque singer talked about two new projects she’s working on – outside of the studio. Adams is launching her very own clothing line, with both casual and couture styles. In addition, she has created a boutique record label aimed at fostering and mentoring talent in the music industry. The new clothing line, aptly titled Yolanda’s Clozet, are designs sparked by the singer from her own experience sewing clothing and restyling designs.

“We have jeans and T-shirts coming out before Christmas. But in the spring, we’ll have the actual line out. We’re talking about ready-to-wear [styles] right now, but the couture will be coming in the fall. I think people are going to be surprised. We’re coming out with furs – they’re not going to be real furs – we want to be politically correct, so we’re working with Marc Bower who is a great designer and has some of the most impeccable imitation furs out there. You really can’t tell the difference, except for the price tag.”

Adams was inspired to start the line because of two reasons: her own talent for sewing and designing clothes, and the necessity and desires she has to redesign and reconfigure her own wardrobe
