• Turn Back Thursday: Kanye Wearing BBC Hat

This month’s Turn Back Thursday takes us back to 2008, during Kanye West’s Graduation era. In this photo, Kanye wears a hat by Billionaire Boys Club, a BAPE plaid flannel shirt, and a pair of Gucci Shaman moccasins. The more I see Kanye’s latest outfits, the more I believe he is done with the Rosewood Movement and is back to this Kanye. The Kanye that would mix high-end brands with streetwear brands. And the Kanye that would wear Air Jordan and Nike shoes with almost every outfit. Which Kanye West do you think we’ll continue to see in 2011?

• Turn Back Thursday: Kanye and Pharrell

For this week’s installment of Turn Back Thursday, I won’t be going too far back for a Kanye West outfit. Here’s a backstage photo from a 2008 N.E.R.D show of Kanye and Pharrell. Appropriately enough, Kanye is wearing a Billionaire Boys Club (Pharrell’s brand) hat, a camo Bape cape, and red Ato Matsumoto shoes. Although Kanye’s recent outfits from 2009 have been more refined and represent a classic look, he will still occasionally put together outfits similar to this one, most notably with the hat and high-top shoes.
