April & Mae T-Shirt Section:

Apple Bottoms is a clothing line that caters to females of all shapes and sizes who are trendy and fashion forward. It’s their mission to celebrate and liberate the natural curves of a woman’s body. This unique brand is the mastermind of multi-platinum recording artist/superstar Nelly. He describes the intent behind the design by saying, “The clothes should fit a woman, not the woman fit the clothes.” The team of designers for Apple Bottoms seeks to highlight and accentuate the curves of a woman. Nelly is personally involved in the design process to make sure that the fashions deliver the magic to reveal the beauty of the woman who wears them.

In August 2003, Nelly launched Apple Bottoms with partners Yomi Martin and Ian Kelly, by starting a nationwide model search for the “Apple Bottoms Girl,” which was televised on VH1. It quickly became one of the top shows on VH-1 that year. The popularity of the jeans was so enormous they sold out completely within two weeks. Apple Bottoms jeans are beloved by celebrities including Oprah, Vivica A. Fox and Alicia Keys.

Apple Bottoms has grown from an original denim collection to include a variety of clothing styles that include mini skirts, jackets, sweat suits and an array of tops that are flexible and offer the customer a variety of choices. With jeans being a staple in today’s woman’s wardrobe that can be dressed up or dressed down, Apple Bottoms offers a wide range from casual comfort to sexy style. The Apple Bottoms collection allows women to be comfortably dressed for the day -- yet remain chic to go out at night. In Spring 2005, Apple Bottoms debuted tight, body hugging dresses, mini skirts and a few low-cut tops that can be worn to any hot-spot club. Apple Bottoms has also added five new styles to their denim collection in addition to the signature jeans with Apple pockets, which are always in high demand. In addition, there is a Golf Glam collection which includes polo shirts, sweaters and halter-tops featuring Argyle prints with heavy rhinestones and fun accents. To complete the Spring ’05 collection, Apple Bottoms added a white denim group with white blazers and jeans to complement the variety of colored tops that are available.

About Nelly:
Cornell “Nelly” Haynes II. first came to national prominence when Universal Records released his 9x platinum-selling 2000 debut Country Grammar. The St. Louis native followed this with his 6x-platinum-certified Nellyville (2002), and the platinum-certified remix album Da Derrty Versions (2003). Cumulatively, Nelly has sold close to 30 million singles/albums worldwide.

Today, Nelly is a household name and is showcasing his diversity as an entrepreneur through the success of his two clothing lines, Vokal for men and Apple Bottoms for women; his own record label Derrty Entertainment, his energy drink Pimp Juice; his part-ownership of the Charlotte Bobcats; and his nonprofit organization 4Sho4Kids, which in addition to its work with children also launched the Jes Us 4 Jackie Campaign in an effort to increase membership on the National Bone Marrow Donor Registry, in memory of his sister Jackie.
