Kings of Leon Parlays Ubiquity into Fashion Line

Having blown up in just a few years’ time from modest, Nashville-based alt-rockers to arguably this generation’s U2 thanks to overplayed arena anthems like “Use Somebody”, Kings of Leon has made the obvious career turn into the fashion world.

The group has teamed with Paris-based boutique/creative studio Surface to Air and unveiled its own line of clothing and accessories that range from a $1200 leather jacket to a $100 bandana (?!). For those longtime fans that are saddened by KoL’s career trajectory, you might wanna avoid the slideshow of the pretty expensive line on Vogue’s UK site.
