Back in October 2014, W Magazine introduced its “Royals” issue — a volume that celebrated creativity and greatness amongst multiple industries. For the 2016 issue, rapper and artist Kanye West is bestowed the honor, who had recently finalized his controversial YEEZY Season 4 fashion show and continues to tour for his ‘Saint Pablo’ multi-city journey. The talents, of whom possess a certain “flair” to their craft, also include the likes of Mr. Robot‘s Rami Malek, Game of Thrones‘ Kit Harrington, superstar actress Halle Berry, Oscar winner Jodie Foster, and more. Along with the prestigious cover, W Magazine playfully flipped its ubiquitous logo to associate with the respective featured star.
