Filed Under: Bono Stella McCartney

bono-nyc-mccartney.jpg

Whaaat?! Hey, remember that time he sued you for "stealing" his wife's scent, girl? Guess those bygones are bygones!

Yesterday, Bono was spotted walking around downtown Tribeca accompanied by Stella McCartney.

Why? Don't know, but we're less concerned with why they are together now that we've see what they were wearing!

Sooo much denim! Tooo much denim! What early 90s wormhole did you guys come from???

Bono For LVMH

Filed Under: Fashion Smashion Bono LVMH Annie Leibovitz

bono-louis-vuitton.jpg

Earlier this year we mentioned how Bono might be appearing in ads for Louis Vuitton as they partly own Bono’s eco-friendly company Edun.

And it seems the rumors were true.

Appearing with his wife, Ali Hewson, Bono is featured in the new Louis Vuitton Core Values ad.

And no, they aren’t wearing Louis Vuitton clothing, instead Bono and Ali are each wearing clothes from their Edun line.

Edun, which was started in 2005, helps encourage trade with Africa and has a mission to rid the country of poverty.

The image, shot by Annie Leibovitz, shows the couple landing in a remote area of South Africa with the tagline reading “Every journey began in Africa.”

Louis Vuitton’s director of communications, Antoine Arnault, reveals, “When they go to Africa, they don’t go to see the beautiful landscapes: They’re there to help people. Theirs is a for-profit company.”

What do U think of the new ad?

Bono's Clothing Line Is Losing Money

Filed Under: Bono Business Blitz Collection's Bureau LVMH

wenn2585084_e__opt.jpg

Bad news for U2 frontman Bono and his wife Ali Hewson.

The two started clothing line Edun back in 2005 to help raise money for Africa. Unfortunately, the company has been losing money instead.

In fact, last year their line suffered $9 million in losses!

And although Louis Vuitton purchased a large portion of Edun last year, it doesn’t seem to have helped.

Let's see if Edun can make profits this year.
