    Kayne went full-force into the realm of music….now just think about this…he elevated and re-introduced a pair of glasses from the 80’s.(shutter shades)……People in the Fashion realm were like who the hell is this? Different people are known in differnt realms. Dude has leverage and momentum….that’s hard to stop. Everything has fallen in place because ya boy make Hot music(beats….whatever)…..he’s not chasing Fashion…..all these other things are chasing him.

    Yeezy’s the perfect example of what progression look’s like….fashion aint shit its just expression…if you seen photos of him during his early rap career he was wearing basic
    attainable duds…progression happens when money is made….I think people are to set into the image
    of how a black man should dress, act, think, eat,drink, spend his money…whatever. Kanye maybe a bit shrude and over the top, but people his a fucking entertainer…the meek and humble are never remembered. The fashion world is dominated european designers, my friends if you cant beat em join em. Oh and please stop calling calling yourselves sneakerheads beacuse quite honestly collecting kicks just aint that cool anymore…..for real. DRESS LOUD BUT ROCK YA KICKS QUIETLY SUCKAS

    “still dont think he deserves nor has the fashion talent to mix with these people”

    This is definately not hating??? is it??? well thats for you to decide but sounds a bit gay to me these people are humans you sound like you have a bit of the “why not me? syndrome” pick yourself up dust off your shoulders and rise from the depths of envy from which you dwell.

    You wish you limited edition sneaker collection could grant you access here it dosn’t so you browse and bitch

    You love his is style

    you said it

    “Just cause he dresses fly doesnt mean he can design fly clothes”

    The vail has fallen and you inner camp man is reveled

    ohh little moron don’t cry give hypebeast members a unlimited budget? why? because they like the shit?

    A smart runner looks who is ahead of him not who is behind you get my drift…

    I can guess your mantra..

    “I BROWSE THEREFORE I AM”

    (maybe in another life)

    Peace .

    Only time will tell if he will seen as a genius or someone who just stretched himself too thin. I applaud him for always trying to push the limits and explore new boundaries, even if he does fail. So why deny a chance to collab? Even though I do think the fashion industry is where Ye will have to keep his ego in check, at least for now. Hopefully the real critics of high fashion won’t be bias when it comes to judgment day of his stuff.

    Wow!… Hate?…. Just negativity and downplay. Kanye is different; he makes different music, he acts differently, and he dresses differently, that’s all. He loves it, and we can tell. Some say he dresses “fruity”^^^, but if he was a white celebrity as opposed to a black rapper (or now pop artist) nobody would say a thing. A lot of people may not know that he attended an art school in his early years. He is in artist who loves all forms, from architecture to fashion and music. His collabs are wonderful, and he hasn’t dropped pastelle yet because he wants to make sure it is great… he has even said this. You can’t say “what if” and foreshadow a pitfall. He has done nothing but great things in his career, and released nothing but positive music and energy. It is so sad to see that so many hate his eccentricism….. because that’s what makes him great.

    Wow…he’s having a mental breakdown because he’s designing clothes and sneakers? Get off his dick people. Let him do his thing.

    why hate?? get up and do your own thing… pissedoffsneakerhead you can’t lose talent… ie its called TALENT. God given. How are you gonna say wait until he fall off… I rather wait until you get put on….
    Oh wait no pun intended… Second,token black dude… are you serious. Clearly you are a hater which is ok. Everyone has them. What are your talents when am I gonna see something fruitful come from your hard work at mc donalds.. $7.15-an-hour-ass-nigga…

    Hennessy you tired from swinging from Kanye’s sack?
    Cool it son.

  13. Posted by: Fashion fart face on January 26, 2009 at 9:07 pm

    He is wearing a draft block for a door around his neck! Cool…..and as for a token black guy, he’s more like a white guy on American idol right now!

    pissedoffsneakerhead speaks the truth….

    Kanye is starting look jusss a bit too fruity….

  16. Posted by: BEAST on January 26, 2009 at 8:22 pm

    Not to say the folks involved in this don’t have any skill, but its always about who you know as opposed to your level of talent. Get use to it kids.

    i smell some jealousy in here. and, pissedoffsneakerhead, which is prolly a name that says more than a 100 words haha, i bet u think that u would deserve it to hang out wit these people, right? so go ahead, make a fortune (oh wait, you’re stuck on blogs haha), dress yourself fly (oh wait, sneakers never by high fashion) and hang out wit these people (oh wait, your a nobody, why should they?)

    grow up old sport

    Fuck that shit, I can dress fly on a budget. No need for unlimited money, I just know what fits and how to get the stuff I like. Kanye with all his money seems to be heading into some sort of mental breakdown; he’s now insisting people call him “Martin Louis the King Jr.” I swear give it 6 months and this guy will be in a clinic.

    I’m really hoping pastelle isn’t just a bunch of overpriced things shirts
    I’ll pay if the design is deserving, but don’t try to sell me no striped hoody for 500$

    Finally someone who sees the reailty behind the facade! I’d add more, but the poster above already said it all.

    hmmm … you are right so far , but you can’t judge what has not happen … maybe his picking up tips along the way connects , then he’ll build something , but your right I seen collabs so far and they give him too much respect in the fashion department so far … no hating on my nigga kanye tho , neva that

  32. Posted by: pissedoffsneakerhead on January 26, 2009 at 5:17 pm

    Is Kanye West Europe’s go to guy when they need a token black guy. All you see is Kanye here and there. I still dont think he deserves nor has the fashion talent to mix with these people but when your famous and rich you can be or do anything you want. Once Kanye loses his musical skills then youll see how the fashion world really thinks of him. He will disappear.

    PLEASE dont say im hating. Kanye has yet to put out any solo fashion projects that blew up. EVERYTHING is a collab and it makes you wonder exactly how much input he really has. Just cause he dresses fly doesnt mean he can design fly clothes. Give 90% of the people who check out Hypebeast an unlimited budget and I bet they dress fly too.
