For 27 years, Gene Simmons (KISS) sat on his Moneybag trademark waiting for the perfect designer to collaborate with.

The bearded clothier still remembers his first meeting with the blood-spewing musician last fall.
"He had just finished getting his plastic surgery and tummy tuck," recalls Daussaltt. "So when we showed up to his house, hes had on black sunglasses and a baseball cap.

Because he just wants to get up and start doing business. He's just a machine."Read more here.
