The only term to describe this line is “ghetto fabulous.†Everything was over the top—shiny fabrics in metallic golds, sequins, sparkles, hats with feathers—but it was also executed with style and even class.


The construction was flawless and intricate, while the fabrics connoted the flashy, gaudiness of the déclassé, the garments themselves were precisely constructed and looked expensive. While the two worlds sometimes clashed in Kahn’s creations, the concept was implemented with an overall brilliance that embraced the creations for what they were, which was simply fabulous.

Why? … Because Jedda-Kahn’s Fall Line said so! Period Point Blank! Now the real question is … ARE YOU READY? Probably not. That’s Hott!
