• Ice Cream Hoody from 2008 LAX Incident

If you recall Kanye West’s arrest for an airport scuffle with paparazzi at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in 2008, you might remember the gray Ice Cream hoody that he wore during the incident. Although it has been two years, the Ice Cream hoody is available for sale on Gilt Groupe, an invitation-only online store that sells high-end items at a discounted price, for $128. The sale on Ice Cream clothing has been going on for some days now, and last I checked, only a size XS and S remain for this specific hoody.

• Rosewood Movement Attire at Secret Show

Kanye West and John Legend were at the New York nightclub The Box last night to perform at their secret show in front of a crowd of 200 people.

• Kanye Confirms Fashion Internship at Fendi

While on the air with Angie Martinez on New York’s Hot 97 radio station, Kanye West discussed a variety of topics that included his upcoming album, Amber Rose, and his overall state of mind since the passing of his mother. A brief topic of conversation was Kanye’s internship role at Fendi while staying in Rome. He didn’t get into details of his work responsibilities, but mentioned a routine of “going to work, walking to work, getting cappuccinos” while interning at the Italian luxury brand. Kanye’s idea of being a fashion intern was revealed back in late 2008 just after the release of 808s & Heartbreak, and there were even talks of a possible Kanye and Fendi collaboration. Hearing it straight from the source confirms many of the speculations from the past two years.

Listen to part 1 of the radio interview at the 5:50 mark for the conversation about Kanye’s internship at Fendi.

After Kanye’s Rosewood Movement was unveiled in the U.S. several weeks back, he and his inner circle have taken the whole “suits all day” lifestyle overseas.

The photograph below includes (L to R): Jalil WIlliams, Virgil Abloh, Kanye, Don C, and Tony Williams. The suit brands they have been wearing the past weeks are still unknown, but considering Kanye’s taste in high-end fashion, one can safely assume the outfits are from a luxury European fashion house.
