Johnny Weir's Diving Into the World of Fashion, But What Can We Expect?

With the Olympics behind him and the World Championships only a month away, Johnny Weir is already beginning to think about a future beyond figure skating. In a recent interview with Yahoo! Sports he said:

I am going to skate in the World Championships and then I have to decide how long I want to stay on vacation. In figure skating your body can only last for so long. I can’t be 50 and trying to skate but I can be 50 and be in fashion, so I have to look to my future and what I want to achieve.

After a week of speculation, he confirmed the sentiment when he spoke with Bryant Gumbel on HBO’s Real Sports saying he would enter the fashion world in a “big way.” But what would Johnny’s line look like? Given that he designs his own costumes and has a flair for fur and spangles, we really don’t have a clue.

Will he blend the feminine and masculine sides of his personality and have an androgynous line? Or will he have a more structured and militaristic line inspired by his love for all things Russian?

We’ve gone through some of his best looks on and off the ice to catch a glimmer of what we may expect from our fashionista on ice.

First up, Johnny makes the case for classic American sportswear:

Michael Kors would be proud.

Or maybe he’ll take it a bit more fashion forward.

Then there’s that androgynous thing. Unisex perhaps?

And what about all those glittery skating costumes? Surely his line will find a way to incorporate a sparkle or two, right?

Bringing corsets, sequins and tassels out of the strip club and onto the ice.

Well we know his looks will be designed all the way to the last little finger, even if it’s an orange finger.

Cossack couture anyone? Oh, and in case you missed it, Johnny likes fur. A lot.

And apparently high heels.

And then, well, there’s this. Not too sure about the hanger appeal on this one…

In the end, we just don’t know what he’ll do because with Johnny Weir you never know what’s going on in that head of his, and that’s half the fun. So far he has one piece under his new label, “Be Unique;” a black, slim fitting jacket is to be released soon that was designed in conjunction with his reality series, Be Good Johnny Weir.

So what do you think? Are you looking forward to Johnny’s designs or are they better left on the ice? As for me, I’m impressed with the few pictures available of his new jacket. I’m just torn about the giant “Be Good” logo on the front of it. But I’m not too worried; it’s nothing a few sequins can’t hide.
