Tupac Shakur’s sister Set Shakur has announced the Fall 2006 launch of her high fashion urban line, Madameveli.

The name of the line is a horrible ass spin on her brothers well known alias Makaveli, which is also a clothing line. Which isnt all that great.

According to Shakur, “Madameveli embraces the oddities each woman possesses and accentuates the physical and intrinsic features that make her unique.” But we’ve heard that shit before. Remember Jennifer Lopez’s shit? And that AppleBottom shit? Its gonna be like that, but different.

The brand aims to “expand upon his iconic legacy by exposing the female ego of the Makavelian persona and establishing an untouchable position in the retail fashion world.” But this reporter is thinking, not so much. Untouchable is a bit of a stretch, but ok. At least she was smart enough to hire some one else ( she had to have ) to write her promo text. Anybody who comes with a spin off like this has to be incapble of coming up with promo text this good.

“The Mademeveli line is so much more than just sexy clothing,” Set Shakur said with a straight face. “The edgy collection will serve as an Armour, or protective gear for grown women who want to place themselves on unshakeable pedestals and celebrate their regality.”

The line will include miniskirts with garters, bustier/gaucho cat suits, corset-style tops, hip hugging suit pants with suspenders, denim jackets and other pieces. OK, now we’re talking, too bad she couldnt come up with a better name though. But i can feel my mind changing almost. But not really.

Shakur has partnered with fashion K.A. Kitties, a fashion consulting company that has worked with Mecca, Rocawear, FUBU, Apple Bottom and Fetish. Hopefully this shit wont suck.
