October surprise on the Bowery as Drake opens shop



The lines formed early on the Bowery at Bond Street Saturday for the opening of October's Very Own, Drake's line of clothing/lifestyle brand.

The store is at 330 Bowery (aka 54 Bond St.), the historic circa-1874 building, the former Bouwerie Lane Theater...







There are other OVO locations in Los Angeles and Toronto, the Grammy-Award-winning singer-songwriter-producer's hometown.

Drake drew crowds to a pop-up shop at 208 Bowery this past August.

News of this OVO outlet first started circulating on Dec. 5...


Last fall, a John Barrett luxury hair salon, which also sold vintage Rolex watches priced to $30,000, opened here. The salon closed after just a few months in business.

I didn't know Drake was also a fashion designer just a mediocre entertainer. Seriously, branding drives me crazy these days. You just need to be famous, in anyway, even someone with a bunch of YouTube followers and some corporation uses your name to sell anything. I guess working hard at your art and craft means nothing today.

These hip-hop fashion lines all look pretty generic, like mostly Adidas ripoffs. It's all about the name I am guessing.

Drake - they make those delicious chocolate covered Ding Dongs, right?

Actually that is incorrect they make Ring Dings, not Ding Dongs. If you are going to be a New Yorker get with the program.
