I basically just wanted to look good, man. You know, to be perfectly honest, I was just, like, looking at myself and saying, "Boy, Goddamn, you look good!
I just wanted to walk down the street like I was Shaft or John Travolta. I just wanted to feel what it would feel like to one of those superbad, superfly motherfuckers! Talley: What stood out to me was the fabulous clothing. Even I ordered two coats, I think. There were two big parkas, like you'd wear if you were in an Alaskan outpost or something, with some big fur collars.
Naomi Campbell supermodel : When the men came out in their fur coats, it took New York by storm. It was amazing. The men were so chic! It was absolutely brilliant. It was back in the day when fashion shows were truly entertainment and everything about the show was captivatingly beautiful and just fun! He spared no expense, and he wanted it to be the best. And so it was. Christian: I remember mad cameras flashing on me and my mom and my brother.
I just remember the hype that was around it. Christian Combs—here wearing an archival Sean John jersey—was born the same year his dad launched the label Like mogul, like son. A brand that started with Tweedy and a couple freelance designers working out of a record company's office evolved in just six short months after the Magic tradeshow, where the brand first attracted stores, to 12 people in a New York City design studio. Diddy knew how to amass talent. The brand sprouted new arms, like a premium denim line.
Sean John became a darling of the fashion industry and was nominated for its most prestigious award, a CFDA often called "the Oscars of fashion" , four years running before finally taking the trophy home in when he beat out Michael Kors and Ralph Lauren.
Critical success led to massive commercial success, and the brand found a dedicated pack of customers at one of the country's biggest retailers. In , Sean John struck a deal with Macy's that gave the retailer its sportswear collection exclusively, and brought Diddy's brand to every nook and cranny in America, cementing Sean John's status as an iconic brand.
Chow: Coming to work every day, you had no idea what to expect. One day he likes the collection. Then the next day, he's like, "I hate it," and we'd design another line. You never knew what the fuck you were gonna get. Bevans: Puff would walk the hallways and just see our work and he was just so much fun. And the music that was going on and the energy that Puff brought, the freedom that he would give us with our designs and it was just really special. Chow: Everybody came through.
There was not an artist that didn't come through, from Black Rob to Mase. It wasn't even just his artists. Puff always made sure that all the artists got clothes. Williams: I'm not blowing smoke up anyone's ass, but [Diddy's] brain is going so fast and he's so far ahead of everything and everyone that, to me, it sounded like he would be frustrated because he would want stuff to really happen and he had a lot of ideas.
Chow: He couldn't take no for an answer. If he wanted to get something done, it had to get done. That's what made those shows so iconic. He knew exactly what he wanted, from the music, to the styling.
He knew he was the ultimate creative director. And I remember within a week he flew his entire Sean John design team to Miami and was like, "Hey, this is Fonzworth, and he's a fashionable guy and he doesn't own a stitch of Sean John clothing. You need to find out why and you need to fix it. Chow: His clock was working on music industry standards.
So come to the office at one, but stay there until three in the morning. Then you'd have to go out. When he was up, he expected you to be up.
If he was in Miami, he expected you to go to Miami or Saint Tropez for three weeks. Whatever it was you would have to go. Working on a yacht and then you're at break at day. The line between work and play was blurred. Diddy: My life takes me all over the globe and I am doing business no matter where I am. In creating a fashion line like Sean John, there are deadlines. Tropez or Paris or London, my team will have to come to me so we can make the deadlines and create an amazing collection.
Williams: Puff would always be doing stuff like shooting a video or going to the Super Bowl. And it would seriously be Friday at 4 o'clock and someone would come up to me like, "Puff's doing a video—we need this whole collection carted and sent to Miami. Chow: That was the scent that he burned at his apartment. Combs spent much of early sitting a court room, standing trial for charges of gun possession and bribery. The charges, stemming from an incident at Club New York in December , led to a six-week trial that found Combs not guilty of all five counts brought against him.
Shortly thereafter, Combs held a press conference announcing he was changing his nickname from "Puff Daddy" to "P. The trial did nothing to tarnish Combs's image among the high-fashion elite or among the legions of customers who flocked to stores to buy his clothing. Kal Ruttenstein, the influential fashion director at Bloomingdale's, expressed nothing but praise for Sean John's line. I wear Sean John like crazy, and I'm no spring chicken.
Sean John Clothing succeeded by winning over two distinct realms of the apparel industry. The company's runway shows were extravagant affairs attended by celebrities and the arbiters of what was high-fashion and what was not.
Combs's skills as a producer, promoter, and showman gave his company a decided edge in this area. In , for instance, Sean John Clothing made fashion history when it became the first designer to have its runway show broadcast live on television, a two-hour event simulcast by the E! Style networks. Sean John Clothing did not make its revenue by selling rhinestone-studded jeans or opulent furs, instead, the company's commercial success came from attracting ordinary consumers.
The sale of the company's simple casual separates, leather jackets, and suit blazers provided the majority of its sales. Combs made his reputation on the runway, earning nominations for Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards for three consecutive years, but his company made its living on the streets.
Sean John Clothing's unmitigated success as a designer of menswear provided the encouragement to develop a line of apparel for boys and women. Combs's achievements in the music industry during the s, many observers noted, had helped popularize East Coast-style hip-hop, cultivating a mass-market audience for the genre.
