Last winter was all about the hoody, and UK brand Artful Dodger had the game zipped up. Thursday November 8, it was announced that Jay-Z in partnership with Iconix Brand Group Inc purchased the high-end street brand for $15 million cash.
"Artful Dodger is an incredible brand with a lot of room for growth and Scott Langton is a visionary designer," explains Hov. "They represent what's next and new in fashion and we are glad to have both the brand and Scott as a part of our family. Artful Dodger represents the first of many acquisitions that will begin to shape our joint venture with Iconix."
PWC had a chance to get a sneak peak of Dodger's upcoming lines in Las Vegas at MAGIC back in August. Check out a few pix of our excellent Vegas adventure after the jump.

Russell Simmons spared no expense on his Vegas booth. Complete with a water feature, sand and cabanas, the two-story structure gets PWC's "the shit" sticker of approval.
