• The History of Kanye’s Clothing Line Pastelle
3 Comments

Complex has created a very informative timeline that traces Kanye West’s clothing line, Pastelle, from its unofficial introduction to the public in 2004, all the way to its supposed name change and unique offerings of varsity jackets in 2008. In the 5 years of anticipation, Pastelle showed a lot of promise to be an actual brand, which is a huge statement to make considering all the now-defunct clothing lines by rappers. From the Dropout Bear collared shirts to the sunglasses collaboration with Ksubi to the varsity jackets revealed during the promotion of 808s & Heartbreak, coupled with Kanye’s unique sense of style, Pastelle was destined for greatness. For old time’s sake, with a smile, let’s take a walk through memory lane of what Pastelle was, before we frown at what Pastelle could have been.

• Kanye Clothing in the “Forever” Video
4 Comments

If you’ve ever seen the “Forever” music video that features Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Eminem, several questions may have been running loosely through your head. Why is Lebron James the star of this video? Did Kanye really get the nod for the best verse? Is that Slaughterhouse behind Eminem? Why is Lebron James the star of this video? Despite such head-scratchers, it doesn’t take away from the fact that it’s quite a good song that not only displays 4 different rapping techniques, but also 4 different fashion styles. Complex has covered the fashion side of the music video, putting together individual outfits that resemble what Drake, Kanye, Lil Wayne, and Eminem wore in “Forever”.

• Kanye West x Louis Vuitton Release Date
16 Comments

The collaboration sneakers between Kanye West and Louis Vuitton will be released at worldwide Louis Vuitton retail stores TODAY, WEDNESDAY, July 1st. Unlike the Nike Air Yeezy release, all 3 styles, the Dons, Jasper’s, and Mr. Hudson, will be released at the same time. The least expensive price is $840 for the Mr. Hudson boat-style sneaker and the most expensive is $1,140 for the Jasper’s with the pink sole. Surely, it is pricey, but what did you honestly expect from a French luxury brand that sells handkerchiefs for several hundred dollars?
