As previously reported, the Dallas Morning News recently issued the following report from Crystal Dempsey:
At the moment, they're one of the fashion industry's most unlikely couples.
He's Nikki Sixx, the bassist for MÖTLEY CRÜE who often says that he used his body as a chemistry set.
She's Kelly Gray, a former exec with St. John, her family's knitwear line, and its "face" in over-the-top ad campaigns."It's like mixing a tongue stud with a tiara," said the Los Angeles Times of the pair.
Mr. Sixx and Ms. Gray are visiting Neiman Marcus stores to unveil their men's apparel line, Royal Underground.
"It's an unlikely combination, but we're more alike than what people think," says Ms. Gray in a phone interview.Mr. Sixx, 47, isn't a fashion neophyte. He has designed his own clothes for years and briefly had a line called Outlaw.
The Royal Underground clothing is geared to the guy who wants a rocker look but with luxe fabrics (cashmere, antiqued leather). T-shirts are around $100; cashmere sweaters, $900; and leather jackets, $1,200.
Here's what Ms. Gray, 39, had to say about Royal Underground, how she met Mr. Sixx (real name: Frank Carlton Serafino Ferranno) and more:
Q: So, Tommy Lee (the Crüe's drummer) introduced you guys?
A: "We met through Tommy at a Mötley concert, but we didn't hit it off all that great at first. I was so scared of him that I called him Mr. Sixx."
