Kwame's new courtroom image....
Kwame's new courtroom image....
lookin sharp. If he has a briefcase stuffed with cash buried somewhere he should been left to some african country where 1) he may be able to blend in and 2) his briefcase of money will allow him to live reasonably well
Dangy! He IS sharp! ----
He looks much better in his orange jumpsuit!

hm. bow tie vs. regular tie. probably no messaging, but interesting..
Yes. Farrakhan stereotype noted but it doesn't look like a Farrakhan tie to me.
To me it says unconventional but traditional, intelligent and nonthreatening but discreet, possibly concealing an underestimated advantage.
I'm not referring to Kilpatrick, just the image of that same bow tie on anyone else.
What does a bow tie say to others here? Sincerely curious.
The bow tie screams Farrakhan..the look screams Farrakhan. For a man with no money, he sure dresses the part, doesn't he?
What a POS.
For one, it's not the type of tie Farrakhan would wear simply because of how big it is. Most if not all of the brothers in the Nation wear a slightly smaller tie and not one that is as flamboyant as this one is. As far as the suit, it's fly.
Now that's a man I'd buy a bean pie from! Personally, I'd like to see the Kwamester show up to court in nothing but a barrel with a couple of shoulder straps. You know, to go with his posturing about how broke he is.
That's not going to happen however you feel about Kilpatrick. The designer of his custom clothing is probably happy to create each tailor made suit. Great advertising!
I wonder whether KK very expensive, very sharp look is related the cultural desire of Black Church-goers to have their ministers wear Rolexes and expensive suits and drive Benz'.
KK says he's broke yet shows up looking like this . It's almost code speak.
In a time and place where his every word and image has to be calculated to speak to that one potential juror who will mess things up, he shows up in a very calculated, very custom, very evocative outfit.

In his interview last week he insisted he couldnt get a fair trial in Detroit. Ha, thats the only place were he could get a trial and get off. So in a weird way he is correct.
As a man who likes a fine bespoke suit, that is remarkably gaudy.
Hold on... not every black church in Detroit goes out for the high-fashion attire or expensive watches.
Regarding Kilpatrick, I would not expect anything less. I am not surprised one bit in his level of clothing... it's all part of the package.

Pee Wee Kilpatrick
You guys act like the way he dresses is something new. He always has been a "clotheshorse" since his days in Lansing. He's not a gaudy dresser by any means.
The late Chuck Daly's style was very similar, and nobody criticized him. All they ever said was Chuck was one of the best dressed coaches in the NBA. Not defending KK, because it takes big money to dress like that, high quality men's clothes are expensive, considering he's suppose to be broke.

Do we know who made the custom suit for KK? The only way the designer would be happy is if his name were associated with the suit and I don't think the tag was on the outside.
KK is still laughing at Detroiters, Wayne County taxpayers and the taxpayers in the entire state [[since we are paying for both the prosecution and the defense)...wearing custom made suits, designer glasses, custom shirts, ties, shoes, etc., claiming he can't get a fair trial in Detroit, saying he didn't steal a dime of Detroit's money [[does he really think everyone is that dumb?), mamma didn't get a fair shake because of him," yes, there's corruption in the City of Detroit, but was I corrupt??? Absolutely not! Did I steal? Absolutely not!"
This man is a sociopath.
I heard he has a couple of designers names circulating among the 'who's-who' of that crowd. They know the designers work from the style and cut especially outfitted for big and tall men.
Umm, and FYI I am not a KK defender... I just don't find it strange or odd that he would be very stylish during this process. As I said before it fits the whole package.

Someone should tell all of those white televangelists and mega church leaders that they are giving in to the cultural desire of Black Churchgoers by wearing expensive suits and jewelry, expensive cars, and mansions.I wonder whether KK very expensive, very sharp look is related the cultural desire of Black Church-goers to have their ministers wear Rolexes and expensive suits and drive Benz'.

You don't actually think it's just Black "preachers" that spend money lavishly, do you?
