• Kanye Wearing Ato Matsumoto “Studs” Shoes

Even though Kanye West was nowhere to be found during the 52nd Grammy Awards, he was in town in Los Angeles to meet with producer Quincy Jones and several other artists to record a remake of the song “We Are the World” for their support towards Haiti relief. Kanye was seen at LAX airport wearing Lanvin “Way Shiner” sunglasses and the Ato Matsumoto Cowhide Boot “Studs”. This isn’t actually the first time Kanye has been seen wearing the high-top Ato Matsumoto shoes as he was seen wearing the red patent leather version in a previous edition of Turn Back Thursday. The white version of the “Studs” is available at the online Japanese retailer Rowage for about $522. In addition to the sunglasses and shoes, Kanye was also carrying his 1-of-1 Goyard “Robot Face” backpack that he designed.

• 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.
