• Goyard Backpack Designed by Kanye West

After collaborations with reputable brands like Nike, Bape, and Louis Vuitton, it’s no longer a surprise when Kanye West designs a product with a major company. It’s almost become expected of Kanye, and since his clothing line Pastelle is not going to be released, his collaboration projects are that much more significant. Here are photos of his custom Goyard backpack that he designed with the French luggage company. The Goyard backpack, called “Robot Face”, is an exclusive 1-of-1 only for Kanye. The leather backpack features Goyard’s multi-print signature, brown piping, and the letter K and a star symbol in the corner. There’s no official word on future collaborations between Kanye and Goyard, but if the Goyard “Robot Face” backpack is any indication of his eye for luggage design, Kanye might want to consider designing additional backpacks available for purchase to the public.

• Kanye Wearing Ambush Ring

If there’s one piece of jewelry that has become a staple to Kanye’s style, it is definitely his black Jesus piece. However, during this year’s Paris Fashion Week, it seems as though he opted to keep it at home and trade the neck-wear for a new accessory. Kanye is seen below wearing the “Eye Am Not Alone” gold ring from Tokyo-based brand Ambush. If you’ve seen the photos of Kanye at the fashion shows he’s attended the past couple of days, you’ll notice this specific ring with the 2 gold pyramids, but this is the first close-up shot of the accessory. Ambush was co-founded by Verbal from the Teriyaki Boyz, who Kanye has worked with in the studio in the past. The “Eye Am Not Alone” ring retails for $210 and can be purchased at Ambush retailers.

• Kanye and Pharrell at Lanvin Fashion Show

One of the best things about a major event like Paris Fashion Week is seeing all the creative individuals that attend and appreciate the fashion and craftsmanship that is displayed before their eyes. Kanye West and Pharrell Williams, two of the music industry’s most influential men when it comes to fashion, were both in attendance at the Lanvin fashion show today. Interestingly enough, these two went up against each other in round 4 of Complex’s Style War several months back, where Kanye ended up the victor. At the Lanvin fashion show, Kanye wore Lanvin “Way Shiner” sunglasses, which are the ones he’s been wearing since he’s been at Paris Fashion Week, black Balmain jeans featuring 2 front zip pockets, and Hermes high-top sneakers constructed of their popular crocodile leather.

Similar to the previous day’s outfit at the Louis Vuitton show, Kanye went for a basic look yet again, with one item to make the rest of the outfit stand out. First, it was the fur coat and now it’s the Christian Louboutin Rollerball loafers.

• Kanye and Amber Rose at Paris Fashion Week

Everybody remembers the infamous group photo of Kanye and friends at the Comme des Garcons fashion show in 2009. Well, it’s that time of year again and Kanye and girlfriend Amber Rose were seen at the Louis Vuitton fashion show as part of the Autumn/Winter Menswear showcase for Paris Fashion Week. Kanye wore a plain white t-shirt, vintage wash jeans, wheat-colored 6-inch Timberland boots, and a fur coat. The outfit is actually very simple compared to the one he wore at the Comme de Garcons fashion show last year. Without the fur coat, Kanye’s outfit is nothing that you wouldn’t find on your everyday individual walking out on the streets, but seeing as how it is Fashion Week, it’s a piece that stands out and allows the entire outfit to make a statement.
