I\u2019m someone who loves high fashion and I\u2019m a customer in that area. For me, it\u2019s not easy to find a mixture of sexy and upscale with a little street edge, and that\u2019s what I\u2019ve done. Myself and <strong>Antonio<\/strong> [<strong>Brown<\/strong>] have a similar style. Putting this together, we had in mind what was missing from today\u2019s fashion and what tomorrow\u2019s fashion should be like. We wanted to bring to the table what\u2019s never been done before.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You\u2019ve been vocal about not being interested in fashion as a child, so when did the spark happen?<\/strong><br \/>\nProbably in high school. Things started to take a turn because you\u2019re as good as the pair of sneakers that you had on in terms of the girls. You know what I mean? Wanting to get dressed up and having the nicest kicks I could have was because of getting the hottest girl I could possibly get.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you think you\u2019ll get into sneakers?<\/strong><br \/>\nWe designed shoes first [points to his shoes]. The intention was to release the shoes first,<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>but<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>the menswear sped in front somehow.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, was your dating life busy back then?<\/strong><br \/>\nYeah! It was pretty good but not because I was wearing my own clothes. I wore my brother\u2019s clothes a lot, so that helped. The only problem was that I was a lot younger than him, so, a lot of the times the clothes didn\u2019t fit. I\u2019d put a sock in front of my brother\u2019s shoes and I\u2019d have these big old t-shirts and big old jeans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are some of your favorite pieces in your\u00a0LVL XIII range?<br \/>\n<\/strong>The book-bag jacket. If I\u2019m trying to dress up an outfit I put on a jacket. You can turn the jacket into a book-bag in less than a minute and have it around your waist so you don\u2019t have that extra weight. It\u2019s actually a stylish book bag.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s something we\u2019d never find in your closet?<\/strong><br \/>\nCrocs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who do you look up to in the fashion industry?<\/strong><br \/>\nI had the pleasure of meeting <strong>Kenneth Cole<\/strong> a couple years back. He became a good friend. We did a lot of charity work together. In fashion, he\u2019s an icon who has changed the fashion industry, but as a human being, he\u2019s a special guy who\u2019s really passionate about amfAR. Having someone like as a mentor and a friend is an honor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You have a new album coming out. Anything you can tease?<\/strong><br \/>\nSome cool collaborations. It\u2019s a very grownup switch. I\u2019m not really concerned about what the radio is playing or what\u2019s on the radio. This album is based on myself and the things that I\u2019m going through, the things that I\u2019m into. A song like \u201cSwalla\u201d was not made for the radio. The fact that it\u2019s gone five times platinum is a blessing. The songs go deep into some of my breakups and some of my failed relationships, why they may have happened or how they may have happened, or falling in love. It takes you on this roller coaster ride of who I am today.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<dl>\n<dt>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomfit247.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2017_LVLXIII_Web00478-533x800.jpg\">\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<dl>\n<dt>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomfit247.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2017_LVLXIII_Web00207-533x800.jpg\">\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<p>\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He\u2019s the singer behind some of your favorite songs, and now he\u2019s tapping into fashion with his very own clothing line.\u00a0Jason Derulo\u00a0sits down with us to break down his menswear range\u00a0LVL XIII in partnership with Bloomingdale\u2019s and how his love life has served more than just inspiration for his music.\u00a0 Jason, why did you decide [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2438,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.tomfit247.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Clothing-Style-wjce0ufrz5j.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[305,59,58,306,307,308],"class_list":["post-2437","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-clothing-style","tag-bloomingdales","tag-clothing-style","tag-clothing-tips","tag-jason-derulo","tag-lvl-xiii","tag-slider"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tomfit247.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2437","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tomfit247.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tomfit247.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tomfit247.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tomfit247.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2437"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.tomfit247.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2437\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tomfit247.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2438"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tomfit247.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2437"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tomfit247.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2437"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tomfit247.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2437"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
