I gotta be honest, this is impressive.
I second that!!!
AM FIRST!!!!! yay!!! but come on high waist jeans????? this is 2011, that was out years ago- at least they couldve picked an attractive model if they want to cram old gears down our throat….mschewwwww
whats wrong with the high waist jeans? ..forget her face and i’ll want to get the out fit.
I can’t stand when people cannot have their own identity! I bet u are one of those people who stock up on trendy clothes and have to get rid of them the next year because it is “out of style”. Look, real fashionistas dont dress according to trends! Have fun with fashion and dont take it too seriously but most importantly wear what suits u and what u like regardless of what n e one else thinks!
well said!
Looks really nice..
i wish him all the best
actually well put together…. i pray it flies
nice
nice, wish he ironed the garments to give it a more sophisticated look though
Whaooooo! fab collection.
‘Actor/ MOGUL’…hahaha .Good luck to the most DISliked man in Nollywood.
Good job Jim! I love to see young Africans thinking outside the box and paving their own paths. I also love that u never give two hoots what n e one thinks of u…u just keep thriving! I wish u God’s favor and success in all ur endeavors. Keep soaring bro!
Wicked!!!
When you are NOT loved by the public you can NOT sell anything, how many CD did his music sell. Jim pack it in mate!
they are wearable…that’s important. #impressive
Jim has an incredible fashion sense
bleh
Haters make una allow am land first before una crucify am haba
why is he not liked by the public? Haters

“with a lot of success comes a lot of negativity”

#preach!
this is amzing,impressive,itz huge and itz gonna sell in the market
I really am impressed bcos it strikes me as a well thought out venture. I utterly hate his acting sha, but wish him all the best in this endeavour.
Haaaaabbbbrrr….the boy try mehn. I love the presentation. The photography is on point. And I actually like the high-waisted pants and the “textured” look of the un-ironed shirt that the male model is wearing…big ups Jim, as much as I think you are a terrible actor.
This guy has obviously done his homework! Kudos! Quality Branding!
I am impressed. I strongly believe that whatever benefits those in 9ja entertainment industry are reaping 2day, they totally deserve. They have come a long way from d days d public used to laugh at their effort 2 now dat everyone appreciates n sees where they r headed. Good work n ambition!
fabulous

Good Job
Its not a high waist jeans,its a high waist dress pants! obvious you people dont have no sense of fashion.The model is gorgeous beautiful body and very exotic features why are you haters hating on her? The garments dont need to be ironed the presentation are well put together,quality and selection so why not just congratulate oppose to saying all these negative comments! I bet half of you writing have no food or any achievements to be grateful for.If you cant beat them join them.
I agreed with Joe she is stunning!
Bella naija readers won’t kill me *laughing* we can comment all we want,but dis bros is targeting the government money people so if ordas from around naija are interested place your order.. He nor send,he did his homework well

will people ever stop complaining? Go Jim Iyke!! great designs…….about the high waist thing, no one cares, its simply amazing and its not jeans besides fashion is what u make of it now not what someone else is wearing or not……….lets learn to appreciate hardwork.As for me……great designs, very modern and cam ne worn anywhere…….welldone Iyke…..smiles
I don’t like his acting but this looks like a well thought out venture. I hope it flies. I hope people buy it and I hope it doesn’t go the way of his foray into music!
very impressive i must say,if they are available and affordable,i will definietly get some for myself.
yes, its impressive…..bt it feels like there is loud noise, but i cant hear a thing…..i aint shooting him down though, i just “almost” like it but somethng seems to b missing……
I LIKE IT ALL MY HUSBAND WOULD LOOK GREAT! BESIDES THEN I CAN HAVE A LOT MORE TO TAKE OFF! BUT SERIOUSLY I HOPE THE LINE TAKES OFF AND IT DOES WELL HE IS VERY FASHIONABLE!
omd! for once in my life i have to say Jim Iyke is not rezz… choi… The line is fresh and different (abi is it bcos it is in yankee d and its oyibo models lol ) well. pls just continue this and dont go back to Nollywood mbok. *sigh*
well sha on a 2nd thought, now that i have calmed down… you can pick these things from H&M, topshop, River Island or Burton sha…. im just saiyng oh (before u pple crusify me) lmaoo- my sis says i’m a weist.
I agree, the first thing that struck me is that it’s all totally high street, but honestly, there’s nothing wrong with high street – DP, Riv Island, Zara and H&M serve their purpose. In terms of effort for a Nigerian brand, have to say this is very well presented and if prices are right + quality is preserved, he could go far. Maybe couture someday? (can’t believe I just typed in the words “couture” in a post concerning Jim Iyke)
Nice..Correct packaging..
Jim, this is really nice. You are truly a fashion bloke.
i totally love the outfits, these are stuff you can actually wear without looking like a mad person.
Met Jim Iyke in person and he was actually very nice/politeyes, i like the man and i these designs
*polite
Nice one Jimmy. Carry on!
I love the outfits, they are very nice. Its good to know Jim Iyke is more than just an actor. He is truly an Igbo man and trailing the likes of artistes like Jay Z and co who try to make good use of their money. Kudos.
Ok.. As much as I do not like Jim but I gotta admit.. Fantastic collection!
cynthia my thoughts exactly haters get a freaking life*sips cold water* ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and jim i’m more than impressed i must say
i love dis…thumbs up JIM
i rili wish him all the best,seems like a lot of effort went into it.
Haters! Smh! They always show their funny heads. Who is the public that doesn’t like Jim? I love him and he is a fabulous actor esp when he cries. As for his collection, I’m totally lost for words..he’s blown me away and has proven his great taste in fashion. Umm…some other pple should take a few classes.
Can we for once praise someone for. a job well done, and stop looking out for faults!!!!! Jeez. Shirts not straightened, models not good looking! Pull your own off now!!!! MschewwWw
i don’t see what’s so hot about these clothes. they look like your run-of-the-mill Topshop to me. Nothing says ‘Jim Iyke’ here!
And yet, we still find good reason to shop in Topshop (Lord knows I’ve seen enough Naija red-carpet pics wt celebs wearing highstreet clothes). Nigeria needs it’s own high street brand and if he’s bringing it, why the heck not? Baby steps, hon, baby steps.
Never liked his acting but THIS i must commend. I LOVE the presentation, he really put a lot of work into this one and from the look of it, he’s gonna go far with this clothing line….especially with the teens section. All he needs to do is make sure its affordable. Only critic (contructive) is that the clothes look a little too ‘Tommy Hilfigerish’. Throw in some african prints now, you’ll be amazed….
Smart move Jim Iyke and I like the name Untamed Closet! The models are all hot! I would buy from your store classy and sexy at the same time,smart guy!
Congrats on your achievements,You are growing proud of you man and I luv the fact that you really plan this out you can tell by the different ethnicity of the models and the location well done Mr Nollywood go get that money!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is some Mediocre bullshit
Jimmy I have always know yu to have eagle eyes for good things
Keep it up and sucess.
I’m an upcoming actor sir 4real jim i wish 2 be ur son and u be my godfather in d industry
