Grammys 2008

Known for wearing hats, Common created the Soji hat line for La Coppola Storta—a retailer of headwear that is handmade in Sicily. The hats, which range from $130-$150, are all newsboy style and come in plaids and solid patterns, both in warm color combinations. So who gave him the push into the fashion industry? Apparently actor Jeremy Piven. "I put him together with the company, and he went to Italy and came up with an entire line," says Piven says. "So I influenced style—I'm a part of fashion history." While Piven may take credit for his fashion connection, the eight-time Grammy nominated musician can take full credit if he takes home one of the three awards he is nominated for this year.
