Vuitton by West

Posted by Bossip Staff

All types of shyte are jumping off during Fashion Week. Kanye West has just unveiled a new couture venture:

Like Jay-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs before him, Kanye West is looking to expand his hip-hop empire to include fashion. But leave it to Kanye to do it in a big way. The rapper revealed that he’s signed on to design a line of men’s shoes for Louis Vuitton. He’s also working on his own signature line of womens wear (not Vuitton), which is set to launch in the fall. Kanye’s had a good relationship with the luxe French brand. Back in June, he performed at the opening of Takashi Murakami’s lastest show, which included special Louis Vuitton bags. “I grew up with the Louis look, you know,” he told the Guardian paper at last week’s Vuitton runway show in Paris. “I just love the style.”

Louis Vuitton eh? Classy indeed. Kanye’s got interesting taste, we’re curious to see how these kicks turn out.

    Kanye West is spreading his wings!

    The performer extraoridinaire has been in Paris the last few days for the couture shows and has revealed to Women’s Wear Daily that he’s teaming up with Louis Vuitton to do a shoe line.

    Kanye doesn’t mess around.

    He’ll only work with the best!

    Can’t wait to see what the design house and rapper come up with.

    Seriously?

    DMX was arrested again today in Arizona. He showed up for a court hearing, but had a bench warrant out for his arrest, so they busted him. Threepeat!

    X was busted June 27 after he allegedly tried to buy drugs from an undercover officer. He was also busted on June 23, May 9 and May 7.

    @DeLaRoCKA: Seriously “X” needs an intervention, that is crazy! they had a spin on the radio this morning where they were just playing his old shit! and it sounded so good! So sad!

    I love Kanye’s style and I love Louis Vuitton.

    If only my man would allow me to get some shoes for him, I would so get a pair of whatever funky design he has yet to release!!

    My baby says that buying your significant other shoes allows them to walk out of their life.

    Jahpson
    yes..so when you buy the shoes make sure you point them towards the bed and not the door..you know when shoes are on the floor? if they face the door he will keep walking out, but if they face the bed he will always come home..

    Kanye will have a hard time marketing this to the urban market. His white fanbase wont support black clothing. He is gonna have to mix the style up not hood not to preppy. Moderation and every one will be on it.

    What self-respectin’ hetero-sexual male would wear some suspect bullshit like that? See this is what happens when men are raised solely by black women -They have no sense or conception of what’s masculine. This is just another by-product of the “CONFLICTED D.L. GENERATION”.

    I thought he would have a new line of relaxers for nappy chest hair…..

    Keep doing your thing KanYe. Most people are mad because they won’t be able to afford it. LOL!

So stick to your baggy pants, baggy tees and uncouth appearance!
