Kanye all GQ and Graphite
Saturday, August 1st, 2009Kanye in his Louis Vuitton Leggings
Saturday, February 21st, 2009
So, GQ gives Kanye an award for being one of the top 10 most stylish men in America.
And Kanye shows up for the shoot with Louis Vuitton Stephen Sprouse pink graffiti leggings around his neck- as a scarf.
Something tells me if I showed up at a shoot with leggings around my neck, they'd be calling me something... but stylish wouldn't be a word that would come up. No question about it, I just couldn't pull it off.
Did Kanye?

The Louis Vuitton Dons
Thursday, January 22nd, 2009
Well, Kanye and a line-up of men in the Louis Vuitton Fashion Show in Paris were sporting the sneakers that he gave us a preview of not too long ago. Apparently, that's all we're gonna see for now.

Louis Vuitton Dons
Wednesday, January 14th, 2009
If you watch this video from ConsTV, you'll see a second pair of Kanye's Louis Vuitton Sneaks. These ones are called... wait for it... "Louis Vuitton Dons"!!!
But first- couple things... first, I started watching this with my 5 year old sitting next to me- and well, don't say I didn't warn you about the language.
Second. It's interesting, because I'd wondered who owned the SO Red Epi Christopher backpack that Don C blogged about a while back, saying "None B4 None 2 Come" and that Kanye mentioned in the Vanity Fair Best Dressed, when he said of his:
"Favorite fashion purchase of 2008: “A special-order red Epi leather Christopher backpack from Louis Vuitton.”
Anyway... that whole question gets cleared up in the clip.
Yep... as I suggested earlier, the first pair of kicks that we saw were reminiscent of a pair of Sperry Topsiders. These look more like lace-up vans. I do like the tall heel on the back though. In the vid, Kanye shows how they keep your jeans from dragging. My 5 year old needs some of that!
Kanye’s Louis Vuitton “Sneak” Peek
Friday, January 9th, 2009
They aren't coming out till this June... but Kanye's giving us a little preview of a pair of sneakers he's designed for Louis Vuitton. (There's five more coming...)
Funny, before seeing a close-up, I was thinking his trainers were a Keds/ lace-up Van's hybrid. But, now I'm getting a major Sperry Topsider vibe. He's obviously digging this look. What do you think?

Are these them?

He says they are. They look more like a Keds X lace-up Vans collaboration than a Kanye West X Louis Vuitton collaboration! But maybe he's just pulling our collective legs, or maybe there's more to see than what we see here.
Here's the video from TMZ where he's leaving Louis Vuitton on Rodeo Drive, where he talks about the shoes:
What do you think?
There’s no place like home

You may have seen Kanye's relatively new video for Heartless.
It uses a process called rotoscoping where artists take regular video film footage and basically trace and draw each image frame by frame.
I thought it was interesting that Heartless has a bunch of the scenes rotoscoped in Kanye's real house. (Check out more pictures of his place in Interior Design Mag.) The picture on the above left is a rotoscope of the picture on the right- a shot taken inside one of the rooms in Kanye's Los Angeles house.
Interesting that Kanye's vintage Damier trunk came rotoscoped borderline Azur! And maybe the artist's a vegetarian? Notice that one of my mom's old favorites Campbell's "Hot Dog Bean" soup was replaced by Vegetable!
Kanye, the Louis Vuitton Intern
Thursday, November 20th, 2008
Apparently, for a change of pace after all the hard work on his new album, Kanye West's hoping to pick up an internship with Louis Vuitton to help him learn the process of "designing a line".

Whoa, Kanye, careful with the SO Azur Christopher!
Thursday, September 11th, 2008
Kanye, Kanye, Kanye. Dang. Come on, friend. I know you don't like the paps in your face, but show some restraint. The hoodie was perfect- just don't give them a good picture, and you win.
Now, the whole story's all over TMZ. The video is on all the blogs...
But, at least it looks like your gorgeous Special Order Azur Christopher Backpack made through the ordeal unscathed!
