"Today, style is all about customization and confidence," Guadagnino added.  "GTL – or gym, tan, laundry – can only get you so far. DIY – do-it-yourself – is the real key to personalized style."

The news comes amidst drama between Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino and clothing brand Abercrombie & Fitch, who offered to pay the reality star not to wear their clothes, saying in a news release that the reality star's "association with our brand could cause significant damage to our image."

Both Sorrentino and MTV issued responses. "Looks like Abercrombie got themself into a Situation!" tweeted the star, who also shared a link to a story announcing Abercrombie's 9 percent stock drop Wednesday.

While MTV released a statement saying "It's a clever PR stunt, and we'd love to work with them on other ways they can leverage Jersey Shore to reach the largest youth audience on television." 

Jersey Shore's fourth season, set in Italy has been maintaining high viewership after debuting to record ratings.
