Nelly Hosts Apple Bottom Fashion Show With Macy's

Comments (5)

Rap star Nelly hosted a fashion show for his latest Apple Bottoms Fall/Winter collection at Fashion Show Mall in Las Vegas on July 10, 2010. Fans and spectators were able to experience a live runway show along with the chance to receive Nelly's autograph and be photographed with the star. The show benefited African American Bone Marrow Awareness month. Nelly continues to show support for leukemia victims after the death of his sister, Jacqueline Donahue, who passed away from the disease in 2005. Since then, he has created the foundation Jes Us 4 Jackie in her honor and in an effort to match bone marrow transplant patients with donors.


Even though Nelly isn't necessarily making music, he is certainly making a difference by shedding light on less fortunate individuals through fashion. He even did his usually good deed by shedding light on cancer survivor Valerie Cruz, 18, from the Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation, by having her model his line. Cruz strutted her stuff down the catwalk with confidence and appreciation for all of Nelly's support.

Apple Bottoms has made must-have jeans for any female with an "apple bottom" and even for those without. The entire inspiration behind the collection began with a model search for women with nicely shaped rear ends. To many, this may sound demeaning, but Nelly will surely be the apple to someone's eyes through his great humanitarian efforts.
