Trina’s Big Plans

Slip N' Slide's Diamond Princess is gearing up to take back her crown as the baddest female in the game. The ‘Baddest Bitch' was in Atlanta to make an appearance at the BET Hip-Hop award and to promote her upcoming endeavors. Not only does she have a new album on the way, the princess divulged to HipHopWired exlcusively that she will share her world with her fans through a reality show and give the ladies a chance to emulate her style through a clothing line. 

Unbeknownst to many, Trina's ‘Diamond Girl' clothing was almost shelved completely following disagreements on the direction. The princess claims that designers lost sight of her vision, a line of jeans to fit “curvy, bodacious” women much like herself, forcing her to step in and call for a revision.

“It's a beautiful line, I've worked with so many different designers that I wasn't too pleased with the work, so I put a stop to it and revamped it. So now the jeans are actually to fit curvy, bodacious, beautiful women and they lost that, they lost that factor and I was like, I'm not feeling it. “

Now following the revamping, Trina feels confident that her line for “real” women will be an in-store success.

“To revamp it and start over was a beautiful thing for me. I got to be more hands on and actually go in there and say listen: I want the jeans to fit like this. I want blouses that fit like this. Everybody's body type is not the same and I'm aware of that. I know as a woman, insecurities with your body that you don't want like, so as a woman I wanted to make sure to make a clothing line that could represent women. So if you're not feeling comfortable with your stomach, or your back, or your boobs, you don't' have to worry about it being shown if you don't want it shown. And that's a thing we love about clothing. So that's kind of what I wanted to do. “
