(URB1) - Brooklyn, New York's John "Fabolous" Jackson, stated in 2005 that he wanted to release his own clothing line in the coming years. Without publicizing detail, the artist went into a search for designers and manufacturers for his line to accomplish the task. After finding qualified staffing, Fab released the name for his line; "Rich Yung Society". According to non-affiliated resources, the line's name represented a lifestyle that many people aspire to live. Even beyond that lifestyle, it also celebrates the more glamorous fashions found in Japanese street wear and urban boutiques. Highly demanded and already being seen worn by such artists as Fabolous and T.I., Rich Yung Society clothing has finally been released to the public in extremely limited quantities. Seemingly, few stores are able to acquire an account with Fab's line and retail Rich Yung, which has many items retailing for over $200. Exclusive urban boutiques and sneaker stores such as 'Rakuten' in Japan and "Vinnie's Styles" in Brooklyn, NY have however acquired accounts and started retailing the Rich Yung Society clothing. Clothing from the line seen so far includes some very creative designs that were applied to hoodies, t-shirts, and a New Era fitted cap. URB1.COM's fashion forums is one of the few places on-line that has collection of photos available of Fabolous' Rich Yung collection Demand for the clothing line so far has caused the stores carrying the line to sell out. Some stores even have call lists in place with the numbers of people waiting to buy the pricey fashion collection. Rakuten.co.jp is the only known website to carry the Rich Yung Society clothing line on the Internet. Larger sizes have been limited and their stock was erased after a short period of time, with plans to restock soon. Rich Yung Society also has their own website, RichYungSociety.com, which has yet to be completed but will probably carry a listing of stores carrying the line.
