Kanye: Vuitton Shoe Designer
Filed under: Fashion Smashion > Kanye West
Kanye West is spreading his wings!
The performer extraoridinaire has been in Paris the last few days for the couture shows and has revealed to Women's Wear Daily that he's teaming up with Louis Vuitton to do a shoe line.
Kanye doesn't mess around.
He'll only work with the best!
Can't wait to see what the design house and rapper come up with.
And, will they be making shoes for poor people too?????
Don't be elitists!

I knew it! He's Hot, Talented and GAY!
Top Ten! I loves kanye!
tats wat im talkin bout. pharrell and kanye are the vuitton bros. drop dead all u haters!
kanye west is a fu@#in' douche bag
top 10
don't hate on Kanye (other Perez readers)….he's brilliant.
Congratulations! I'm SO happy for him! He's come such a LOOONG way!
If his current style of clothing is any indication of his shoe style, it will suck more than Perez does on a banana with his sundaes.
Why does kanye have to have such a lousy ass personality yet such good work comes from him. Seriously, if his personality was better… I dunno maybe I would get a girl boner? : D
Thanks for the Canada mention
I doubt they will be available for the average person. I'm guessing 300$ for a pair minimum. P:
Dear Perez H, I admire you and want to be more like you but I just don't think I have what it takes, so say a little prayer for me if you would't mind. My thoughts are with you — I think you are fine.

He is gay for sure
This guy is an arrogant -no talent …piece of shit! Why do you insist on promoting these dirtbags. He must have a small dick
Wow I bet they're going to be ugly
So tacky, yuck.
kanye is the shit.
damn looks like i am out 1500 bucks
great, one more thing to make Kanye's head even bigger! I'm sorry but when you're that full of yourself, you're setting yourself up for failure. Maybe not now, but someday we'll look at him and think wow he kinda sucks now and then what will he feel like?
I, for one, am so over kanye west! He is a pompous ass, and i wish he would just go away. I love his music, but he is such a jerk, that i forbid myself from listening. Hes like a big bratty ass whining child!
Kanye da Cunt. Because he sure aint got balls where they should be- they have been screwed into big ass lock jawed mouth!!
He's a shit talker -so come on everyone lets talk shit back to the little bitchy cunt!!!!!
Oh, please.
He can't rap. He might as well move on to someting else.
I wonder just who propositioned whom, to work together.
I don't see european designers knocking each other down to "partner" (using the term very, very loosely) with american rappers (or just rappers,…only in America, etc.) to design haute couture.
That would be like a caviar-selling company begging Jiff peanut butter to join them in some cockamamie adventure.
It's not because he attended some fashion shows that he knows something about fashion it's ridiculous!
Louis Vuitton will go right down the ghetto toilet just like Tommy Hilfiger did. Louis Vuitton and hiphop???? WOW!!! I guess they've jumped the shark!
Kanye is no trend setter- Kanye is a whinning bitch. No ones going out to buy a shoe designed by this crybaby. Retire
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! The cherry shit was bad enuf….
"That would be like a caviar-selling company begging Jiff peanut butter to join them in some cockamamie adventure. "

Kanye, Fiddy, Lil Wayne, Akon, and ALL the rest—including every freaking idiot with "Ice" in their name—should be put on one ship, headed for europe, or even better yet Japan or Taiwan. With a "special" U.S. Coast Guard escort.
Somehow they will "accidentally" go off course, heading for the Mariana Trench (one of the deepest parts of the Pacific Ocean).
When the "special" Coast Guard escort arrives, having lost the "Ship Of Fools" that went down into the depths with no survivors, they will then report "that a terrible storm came up and there was nothing they could do".
Yeah, that's the ticket. That will be the plan. No survivors. Lost at sea.
And the world will be a better place—guns and drugs will cease to be glorified.
The notion of Fame and Wealth, without talent and hard work—will be a fallacy of the past. O Brave New World.
i smell disaster in the air.
kanye PLEASE understand your not that great. and louis vuitton are really setting themselves up to fail.
i mean theyve already lost enough brand value when 13 year olds started wearing their stuff.
kanye west is not a designer, so make a line for macy's instead. thats more like your "group". don't bring down people with actual class, just because your mom died.
Re: J-StaRRa – Unfortunately, number 8, Kanye don't loves women. Size 18/20 girls and higher have a tough life, I can only try to imagine. But bes loving on some nice, actually talented, young black mens.
I KNOW KANYE IS A CUNT……BUT HOW DARE AMY WINEHOUSE SAY ANYTHING ABOUT ANYBODY…..SHE NEEDS TO SHUT HER CRACK SMEARED MOUTH..BETTER TO BE A CUNT THAN A CRACK-WHORE..SLUT BITCH!
Kanye is speading his wing???!!! ha ha he already spread his butt cheeks and took in up the ass…

Is he going to pick the cotton for the fabrics too?
lol Faggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
Porkez, I'm sure it won't come close to your hot nosepix line.
He did go to art school you idiots
Re: Nubian Goddess – You make fun of other people, but I must say, why don't you try getting a life outside of commentig on this blog several times and pissing people off. We get it, you don't like Kanye. Nuff' said.
Is anyone else sick of his ass already?
Kanye is a douche like SouljaBoy.
That's stupid of LV. I'm never buying their shit again. GO HERMES.
Who in the "hell" cares what Kanye West does?
why do you give this fool the time of day?
Re: Nubian Goddess – Your comments are quite insightful. How could rappers design haute couture while remaining true to their urban roots? I find these two ideas incompatible like water and oil ! Anyway do we really think that rappers have a sense of style that the average folks would like to emulate? Errrrr, sadly only in certain circles
I can just imagine them being very ghetto.
Re: WTF –
Amy may be on drugs honey but since when did we use that against people would you be this nasty to an anorexic? Amy has talent everyone on the face of the planet can see that she's just off the rails hopefully soon to return and cunts like you and Perez who consistantly bitch about her will of course eat your words when she gets better. Kanye raps… it requires no talent he shouts into a microphone big fucking whoop and he acts like a stuck up child because he can shout into a microphone. Hmmm got to agree with Amy on this one he is a cunt.
Buy some style first…
Kanye is worthy to be one of Avril Lavigne's hemmorhoids. Kanye is fit to lick the shit off my used toilet paper. Kanye isn't talented enough to sing an elephant fart. I do not like Kanye in a box. I do not like Kanye with a fox. I do not like Kanye in a house. I do not like Kanye with a mouse.
Wow. Now only if he could "design" some shitty flip flops. Oh…and an elastic. That would be epic.

I remember when that talentless fuck ruined of our best Police songs at that stupid Al Gore benefit thing. Ha ha. I put a compact florescent bulb up Kanye's ass that night.

Perez, if it were for the "poor people", it wouldn't count! Jeez, everyone knows the rap scene is all about elitism! It just isn't urban or cool to be poor, right? *sarcasm*
Style? THIS guy? pfff ROFL come on are you serious?
HE is PATHETIC and an idiot.
I dont understand how big names such as LV mix with talentless bitches as him. I hope this guy someday soon disappears of this media world.
Re: idiot – Number 46, kiss my black nubian ass. I'm on vacation. So between shopping, martini's, and lounging by my pool, Et Cetera, I can post all I damn well please. Idiot.
Re: FUGLY – And excellent point, 51. Thanks for toning down and softening my crazy-ass rants. Seriously, thanks.
didnt he make sunglasses with them too?
Re: annka – probably twice that since your run of the mill gucci and diors go for that much
# 26 Sienna I know thats you/.If he doesnt win a fashion award is he going to cry like he always does at every awards show. Stupid idea a great way to dilute the brand.Maybe he'll design a car for Mercedes and become an urban planner for New Orleans. Yes you are a very creative but dont get too carried away. I can already see what these high top plastic covered mothas will look like.
What a dork.
*************************************************************************************
YET ANOTHER REASON WHY I DONT BUY LV! ITS SOOO GHETTO!!! RAPER DESIGNING?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I think these two are more than styling together…
Kanye West hates white people. And his money killed his Mother.
Barf!!
Bow to the presence of patheticness!!
No Kanye!!!!!!!!!!
Kanye West does not care about poor people.
okay seriously everyone needs to stfu about kanye west.
sorry you don't like him, but he's around. world known
and pretty darn amazing. he's projected hip hop to a new
artistic level, gaming up with some of the biggest name
in the buisness, i dont think him getting ur respect is
really gonna make a difference in his career cos he's
got millions of other supporters who think he's great
and all his shows are sold out…for a reason.
secondly, kanye dressed EXCEPTIONALLY WELL.
his glasses have become a staple among the youth
as well as bringing back old school nikes
and dope leather jackets…i think what he wears
instantly becomes a success, just like his music.
he pretty much promotes "louis v" in most of his songs
so im glad he's working with them its obviously one
of his favorite brands!so if you don't like it plug your ears, close your eyes
and go listen to some carrie underwood or something
I find it very disturbing that Kanye (and I actually like the guy) would "partner" up with a brand such as LV, when they could care less about the demographic to which he caters. This is just what we need, another rapper to stamp his name on a European product, for young black/hispanic/asian kids to run out and spend their hard earned (or parents hard earned) money on a brand that does not give a fuck about them enough to put more than 2 black males (out of 54 looks) in their show! The runway show is supposed to be a reflection of their customer base, do they really feel that is what we represent as a consumer to their brand. With all the idiot rappers screaming the LV name all over their songs-which leads LV all over the US to be crowded with young inner city teens and adults?! Come on Kanye…Fuck a LV collabo…Do ya OWN SHIT! Marc is just trying to capitalize off of you and Pharrell & you guys are falling for it. There are plenty of Black Luxury designers who can actually benefit from your collaboration. Come on black people, we have got to do better!
LOL, He will only work with the BEST. To bad he didn;t follow that rule when he got the KFC momma of his a doctor.
