Kanye: Vuitton Shoe Designer

kanye__opt1.jpg

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!

      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

      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?

    30. 30

      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.

      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.



    37. 37

      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.

      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

      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.

      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!

Too bad you are so easy to buy Kanye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its going to be called GAYER LV by K!!! PLus LV is very racist and they treat people like shit!

How about a big concert, free hotel rooms and ATM cards pre-loaded with $3,000? Will any mayors in these Iowa cities go to the media and say their town needs to be a vanilla town again like God intended? Oh the questions

      If you don't like Kanye, you should just email the company and let them know that you don't feel that Kanye is ethical and stable enough to take on such a job and that his antics are embarrassing and that he is a bigot.
