Michelle Rodriguez will travel around the world to research for her new clothing range that will employ ethnic style.
Michelle Rodriguez is launching her own clothing line. The 'Lost' star plans to create a fashion line named Ishkadada which will be inspired by world cultures.
Michelle - who grew up in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic – will travel to a dozen countries, including China and Brazil, to "study people, social classes, history, culture". The actress told TV show 'It's Midday in China': "The company that I want to start should be ethnic. I think there is a growing awareness and people are opening their eyes about the world and the environment."
The 29-year-old brunette is a keen follower of the fashion industry. Earlier this year, she was a guest at Marc Jacobs' New York Fashion Week catwalk show. Michelle sported her very own unique fashion accessory at the showcase – a court-imposed alcohol-detecting ankle bracelet. The beauty tried to hide the metal clamp behind a cloth wrap, but she was unable to disguise the bulky bracelet.
Michelle was forced to wear the bracelet after being briefly jailed for violating her probation terms after getting arrested for DUI (driving under the influence) in Hawaii in 2005. The actress complained about the bracelet saying: "Why do they care if I drink, what am I going to do, drink and walk over someone? I have no licence."
