Early on Friday morning urban fashionistas started lining up in the pre-dawn hours at 83 Wooster Street in New York’s chic Soho district. This ritual could only mean one thing Kanye West, the new streetwear Guru was releasing something. Life of Pablo, a pop-up shop that coincided with the beginning of spring, sprung up for a three-day Kanye West fashion-fest this weekend March 18th through 20th.

There is no gallery selected or the gallery was deleted.

Loyal followers braved the cold and darkness to be the first to own the latest Kanye merchandise featured in his video Life Of Pablo. West, the master of shameless self-promotion, enlisted the first family of media hype the Kardashians to help push his new line. The K-clan has been wearing the distinctive bright blue or maroon t-shirts for weeks leading up to the release.

The Louis Vuitton Spring Summer 2016 Mens Fashion Show during Paris Fashion Week presented a youthful relaxed luxe look. Featuring jackets cut from indigo-dyed Kobe leather (the cows are massaged with sake; the hides are sun-dried). The pearls that appeared as accessories were also indigo-dyed, actually in the shell. And there was a small group of fully reversible pieces made from organza-backed lambskin, so ludicrously light that they were practically incomprehensible.  Continue reading

While it’s still unclear whether the low-top Yeezy Boost from Season 3 will be an updated 350 or the new rumor 550 version, Kanye was photographed at LAX airport wearing a pair of the sneakers that have been making the rounds lately. The kicks appear slightly higher than the 350s around the ankles and don’t include the heel tab, making us wonder if this is an entirely new silhouette altogether. The brown and tan shoes also feature a bright orange stripe running along the upper, giving it a distinct look from its more neutral predecessors.

The usual heart-basketball logo found on past Valentine’s Day releases is absent with this pair unfortunately, but the vibrant pink shade definitely makes up for it. So my female sneaker heads be extra nice today… this is a great post V-Day gift.
