Kanye's Clothes

We all know that Kanye has dipped his toe, make that foot into the fashion world. From designing sneakers for Louis Vuitton, Nike and interning at the Gap we were all expecting a Kanye line very soon. That line would be Pastelle. Kanye had been spotted wearing pieces from the line (above) and the below pictures had made their way around the net. Well, that line may be put on the back burner right now, waaay back. No real reason given, just don't expect to see it in stores any time soon. Apparently, Mr. West will be releasing a line in his own name in the near future. How near? You tell me....

Kanye Falls Into the Gap

Really, Kanye! After successful collaborations with Nike (Air Yeezy) and an upscale sneaker deal with Louis Vuitton, Kanye still isn't done! He may be a college dropout but somehow he ended up being an intern at none other than the Gap. Not sure what the term "intern" means in Kanye-speak but, I'm not convinced he's off getting coffee or filing papers for the higher ups. Just what will he get out of this internship besides invaluable knowledge? My guess is there won't be any college credit given. Perhaps, something more substantial is on the table. Let's not be surprised if Gap suddenly has a collection of clothing on it's racks with a certain Chicago-bred rapper's swagger. I'm just sayin'. Because being a superstar rapper, producer, director, entrepreneur isn't enough, right? If only my internships had turned out so well.

Madonna's Material World

Madonna has been asked to grace the campaign ads of French fashion house Louis Vuitton yet again. The material girl will be teaming up with famed fashion photographer Steven Meisel for the shoot. They'll be treading familiar ground as he shot her last campaign for Vuitton's spring/summer collections.

Kanye's Kicks, Numero Dos

As if the Louis Vuitton kicks weren't enough, Kanye West has released his shoe for Nike as well.
The highly anticipated Air Yeezys hit stores, with the first of three colorways—Zen Grey— this month. West’s kicks are limited to select retailers, including all Foot Locker House of Hoops locations, and carry a price tag of $215. As soon as they hit store shelves... they pretty much sold out. A black version of the shoe will be on sale starting May 2 and a third color will hit stores in June. They are more affordable than the pricey Louis Vuitton sneaks. Still, glimmers of hope and all, we're in a recession people!

For the Love of Bags

Katie Holmes' Roger Vivier shoulder bag

Kim Kardashian's Louis Vuitton bag

Kate Bosworth's shoulder bag by Chloe

Halle Berry's Cartier handbag

Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B handbag

Do you have a favorite bag? You know the go-to, lived-in, carry-all-the-time bag? Well, so do your favorite celebs! Some bag choices are pretty obvious. Gwen's L.A.M.B. bags are a no-brainer. I mean, it is her line and all. It's easy to see why Katie Holmes loves her Roger Vivier bag! It's a roomy bag, but it's not so big that it's annoying to carry. Kim Kardashian loves her Louis Vuitton quilted handbag. Kate Bosworth rocks a bright, funky shoulder bag by Chloe. Halle is hardly seen without her Cartier bag.

Kanye's Kicks

I told you before that Kanye West was designing shoes for Louis Vuitton. We only had a glimpse of the line before, check it out now. These are just a few of the sneakers they're putting on the market. They look decent enough but, it's the price tags that has me at a standstill. From top to bottom let's run it down. The top pair will retail for $1140, the next for $990, third goes for $960 and the red sneaks are $870. Kanye has always been known for his ego, maybe they figured they'd make the prices to match.

Kanye, the Designer?

Kanye West is taking this fashion thing very seriously. Not too long ago he was giving a sneak peek at his shoe designs for Louis Vuitton. Now they have premiered on the runways of Paris. Above is just one style. The whole line will debut in Louis Vuitton stores in June. It's good to see someone living their dreams. What do you think of his new shoe?

808s, Heartbreak and Louis Vuitton

Kanye West has made no secret of his love for fashion. I mean, his nickname is the Louis Vuitton Don for goodness sakes. So it came as no surprise to me that he is taking some time to be an intern of sorts for Louis Vuitton. His first project is this shoe. He's creating a line of sneakers and loafers. The line won’t hit the stores until the spring but, this is a sample of what’s to come. Love it or Loathe it?

Lady M

There are major moves going on in the world of fashion. One of which involves Madonna. The queen of re-invention is changing up her look this time from one V to another. She's moving on from being the face of the house of Versace and making her way into the house of Louis Vuitton. She'll be in all the upcoming ads and rocking them fabulously, I'm sure. I hope she brings some of her signature creativity to the campaign. The big question for me is how does this lady do it? A new album, a world tour and the face of a major fashion house at 50 years old. In this business, one could only be so lucky!

Who Rocked It?

This Louis Vuitton dress easily goes from good girl to vixen. Sex & the City's Kristin Davis paired this dress with tights and a clutch. She easily makes the coat dress more demure. Mariah Carey on the other hand looks ready to take on the city night life with strappy sandals and bare legs. Both ladies made the look their own, but... who rocked it?
