• Happy Birthday, Kanye West

Today, June 8, 2010, Kanye West turns 33. It was only at 24 that the up-and-coming producer laid his magic on Jay-Z’s hit-single “Izzo (H.O.V.A.).” Fast-forward nine years later and he’s given us four groundbreaking albums, countless memories at award shows, a taste of his eclectic sense of fashion, and collaborations with some of the top designers and brands in the world, including a sneaker with both Nike and Louis Vuitton. Happy Birthday, Mr. West.

• Kanye West Spotted in SoHo New York

After months of being away from the public eye, Kanye West was seen yesterday in the SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan in New York. Photographed by lifestyle blogger and tastemaker, William Yan, Kanye’s outfit consisted of a cream pocket t-shirt, a red hoodie, and dark vintage-washed jeans. Nothing of shock value, but definitely a classic outfit that is comparable to his style from the Graduation days of 2007/2008.

• Dress Like Kanye West Update

To all the dedicated readers of Dress Like Kanye West,

As many of you have noticed, there has been a severe lack of updates in the past two months. During that period, I have been going back and forth on the direction that I would like to take this website. Believe it or not, when you’re running a website that is centered around a single individual, in this case, Kanye West, it can be quite a difficult task to generate new content when that individual is nowhere to be seen in the headlines.

After much thought, I will continue to operate this website as an avenue for all your Kanye fashion information. I’ve gained too many loyal readers for me to simply walk away.  Blog posts may be limited, but I will try my best to present the best possible content.

In the coming months, there will be major additions to the website to ensure content is fresh and relevant.

Stick with me, don’t give up just yet.

• The “RIP Kanye West” on Twitter is Fake

Since I do run a website centered around Kanye West clothing and fashion, I feel I have a moral obligation to do this. The RIP Kanye West trending topic on Twitter is a complete, 100% fabrication.

KANYE WEST IS NOT DEAD
