| KID ROCK SELLS
OUT – THE ROCKER IS NOW SHOWING HIS APPAREL
AND HATS AT THE GM STYLE SHOW IN DETROIT
Apparently
the bad boy rocker – who is from Detroit
– will be at the GM Style show, a celebration
of cars, music and fashion on Jan.12th (the event
leads up to the North American International Auto
Show).
Kid Rock will not only perform, but he will be
showing off his Made in Detroit line of shirts,
jackets, HATS and denim by William Rast.
It doesn’t take much to realize that GM
wants to be seen as hip and cool. This is what
they said about the deal: "High energy and
passion are in every element of GM Style, from
the vehicles to the performances to the fashions,"
said Ed Welburn, GM vice president, Global Design.
"People will be talking about this event
for some time to come."
The Made in Detroit clothing company features
graphics by Gary Arnett, creator of the original
logo (a man dressed in work clothes holding a
wrench). One of the T-shirts spells the word "Detroit"
in a gearshift pattern. (young people love irony,
did I tell you that?)
GM Style will be held in a football field-size,
climate-controlled pavilion on the Detroit River,
east of GM's Global Headquarters, and will be
simulcast on gm.com. In addition to kicking off
the world's largest auto show, GM Style will have
a series of activities called GMnext, leading
up to the start of GM's next 100 years. The corporation
turns 100 on Sept. 16, 2008.
This is not your father’s GM car (or his
crowd) for sure.
