TW Steel to Partner with Kelly Rowland

TW Steel to Partner with Kelly Rowland - Global Star to Become Worldwide Ambassador








Global Star to Become Worldwide Ambassador
for Oversized Watch Brand

As an ambitious lifestyle brand celebrating a bold mantra of ‘Big in Oversized Watches’, TW Steel made another enterprising statement on Thursday, 8th December, by unveiling global star, Kelly Rowland, as a worldwide ambassador – with TW Steel Kelly Rowland Special Edition timepieces to follow in 2012.

The Dutch-based watch brand, available in over 80 countries, celebrated its dynamic new partnership with Rowland at an exclusive, VIP-packed party hosted at The Box in London, England, one of the city’s leading contemporary establishments.

A global star since the age of 16, Kelly Rowland – a stand-out judge on the UK’s X-Factor and Grammy Award winner, grew up in the spotlight as a member of Destiny’s Child – one of the most successful groups of all time. Her powerful voice a key ingredient in the group’s awe-inspiring list of chart-toppers, which include four No.1 singles in the US and more than 80 million records sold worldwide – Kelly has now blossomed into a stunningly unique solo artist.

“I’m massively excited to welcome Kelly Rowland to the TW Steel family,” stated TW Steel co-founder and CEO, Jordy Cobelens (29). “Kelly’s sheer presence connects her to so many people and her talent is simply phenomenal. We’re delighted to be partnering with her and to have her representing TW Steel. We share her passion for music and we know she enjoys working with many different artists. We’re looking forward to collaborating with her also, we plan to produce a couple of Special Edition timepieces for her, and I know they’ll be a huge success.”

“I was captivated by TW Steel when I was first introduced to their watches,” commented Kelly. “I love the statement wearing a big watch makes and they just get what it is to be fun and stylish at the same time. I love fashion - it plays such an important role in the music industry. For me to now channel that passion into designing my own range of watches with TW Steel is pretty exciting.”

Kelly continues to promote the launch of her third solo studio album, Here I Am, for Universal Motown Records. It follows the release of her 2002 RIAA Gold-certified debut album, Simply Deep, which reached No.12 on the Billboard 200 chart, and 2007’s follow-up smash, Ms Kelly, which hit No.6 on the Billboard 200 chart selling more than 1.2 million copies worldwide.

TW Steel enjoys an equally impressive reputation as an ambitious lifestyle brand and it enjoys a celebrity clientele to match with names such as Jay Z, Snoop Dogg, Jaime Foxx, Natasha Bedingfield, and Fergie owning their own TW Steel timepieces. Founded in 2005, the family owned company, led by co-founder and CEO, Jordy Cobelens – who was recently named Ernst & Young’s ‘2011 Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year’ in Holland, is also currently the ‘Official Timing Partner’ to Lotus Renault GP in Formula One.

CONVERSE ANNOUNCES NEW FOOTWEAR COLLABORATION
WITH WORLD’S MOST SUCCESSFUL VIRTUAL BAND - GORILLAZ


GRAMMY® Award Winning Artists Design Exclusive Prints and Patterns Inspired by
Their Unique Vision and Style....





Today, CONVERSE Inc. announced the launch of their newest footwear collaboration with world-famous Gorillaz. Launching in February 2012, the styles from the collection combine the iconic Chuck Taylor All Star silhouette with the band’s legendary graphic images. Award-winning designer and Gorillaz co-creator Jamie Hewlett has designed exclusive prints incorporating elements from their ground breaking artwork.. Each design melds their diverse backgrounds and unique influences to create a revolutionary collection. The partnership with Gorillaz will also include a Converse “Three Artists. One Song” music collaboration that will coincide with the launch of the collection.





"To converse: the exchange of thoughts, feelings or ideas. That's what Gorillaz are all about, working and collaborating and exchanging ideas with other artists and global communicators. We've been trading in ideas and conversing with one another for ten whole years. So I couldn't think of a better bunch of people to help celebrate our decade in the business than the good people over at the Converse shoe company. Plus I've been wearing my Chuck Taylor's since forever." - Russel Hobbs, drummer of Gorillaz

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of their self-titled debut album, Gorillaz are widely recognized for not only creating a new genre of music but redefining the concept of a band. With a unique sound that brought together alternative rock, hip hop, electronic and pop music, the band implemented fresh ideas from their limitless fictional universe and have sold over 15 million records worldwide to date. In 2006, the band won a GRAMMY® Award for “Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals”, for “Feel Good Inc” with De La Soul. On November 28th, they will release the long-awaited “Singles Collection: 2001-2011,” a celebration of a decade together.

The Gorillaz collection gives the classic Chuck Taylor All Star silhouette an edge with four different looks inspired by the band. The military inspired camouflage print, taken from the cover of their self-titled debut, is the signature design for the collection and is featured here as a sneak peek. All shoes from the collection contain a Gorillaz heel tab and hangtag with additional details on the product. The full Gorillaz Chuck Taylor All Star collection will be revealed in February 2012 and available nationwide and globally at select retail stores and online at http://www.converse.com/





To celebrate the collaboration, Gorillaz and Converse will host a Gorillaz Sound System evening at the legendary 100 Club in London, UK on Thursday, December 1. Fully endorsed by Gorillaz, Gorillaz Sound System is a unique audio-visual experience, featuring music, live percussion and special projections. Please visit http://www.converse.co.uk/  or http://www.gorillaz.com/ for more details and ticket info.

In continuation with Converse’s dedication to the global music community, the design partnership with Gorillaz will also serve as a gateway to Converse’s latest installation of their signature “Three Artists. One Song” collaboration. Created as an opportunity for three distinct artists to come together from different backgrounds to create an original new song, “Three Artists. One Song” has recently seen pop duo MATT & KIM, rapper and producer Soulja Boy and singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist ANDREW W.K, among others, come together to create an original song made available for fans for free. Gorillaz will serve as the latest artist to anchor “Three Artists. One Song”; the other artists and exciting details regarding their collaboration will be announced at a later date.
