L’Officiel Hommes. Kanye West && Kim Kardashian.

The famous kouple couple Kimye is at it again. They are no stranger to the public lens, this time doing it in an editorial scene for the French men’s mag L’Officiel Hommes shot by Nick Knight for the Spring 2013 edition. The cover was released last week with a naked Kanye & Kim in a lover’s embrace.

The rest of the spread keeps the focus on Kanye, with clothes on. The spread is lengthy, featuring about 10 other shots. There is probably an editorial component, but nothing has been released yet. The parents-to-be look to be in love. Can’t wait to see their next editorial shoot, maybe with baby Kimye in tow?

Adidas — All Originals, All Iconics.

 

Check out the new commercial from Adidas. It’s the full-length version promoting their “All Originals” ad campaign featuring Dwight Howard, Big Sean, Jeremy Scott, Snoop Dogg, and Sky Ferreira. The originals line promotes some of the iconic Adidas styles that have been around since 1969. They have remixed the styles and colors with influences from sports, music, and fashion. Some of the updated styles include the Samoa, Gazalle, Campus, and the famous shell-toe Superstar. (even I had a pair of the orange stripe “Superstar” shell-toes back in the day) For those who are fans of the track suits, Adidas has plenty of those in both traditional and fun colors.

Also, if you “like” the Adidas Originals page on Facebook you can create your own icon kit. This enters you into a contest to see rapper Big Sean who is making moves in the music game. He’s been featured on tracks with Chris Brown and Kanye West and recently released his debut album “Finally Famous”.

All Originals. Leave a Legacy.

Would You Rock? ‘Kanye West in Trussardi 1911 Fringe Sneakers’ Edition.

Kanye West performed this weekend at the annual Essence Music Festival in New Orleans, Louisiana. He wore a white Balmain shawl collar blazer, jeans, and Trussardi 1911 fringe sneakers.

The black suede sneakers are from the Trussardi 1911 Fall/Winter 2010 collection. Trussardi 1911 is a luxury line that features both menswear and womens’ wear. All of the apparel and footwear is of the finest quality and 100% made in Italy. Launched as a capsule collection in 2008, the brand has steadily grown and gained awareness. The sneakers are from last fall and might run you a cool $550-$600, if you can find them. Kanye is such a trendsetter though, we might see some replicas pop up for the upcoming fall season.

Question is…would you rock??

 

Pharrell + Revlon mascara. Huh??

Now I know Pharrell is known for his fashion chops as well as his musical talents, but endorsing mascara? It’s not exactly what you think. Peep the video below:

Okay…so Pharrell provides the soundtrack for the Revlon Grow Luscious Plumping Mascara commercial featuring Jessica Biel. The black and white video was directed by the ‘Black Swan’ director Darren Aronofsky. I like the ‘fit Mr. Williams is wearing. That suit is niceee. The song is ‘You Got Me’ and can be downloaded here. I’m just now seeing the commercial and it’s been out since the beginning of June so Revlon needs to play the commercial more. 😉

 

BET Awards 2011. Red Carpet.

Diggy Simmons.
Look at Rev. Run’s son Diggy Simmons arrive on the red carpet. His performance of his new single “Copy.Paste” was dope…til he started dancing.

Lloyd.
 New album coming out soon…never seen him without a shirt.

Rocsi.
 I know it’s hot in LA but what is she wearing??

Jaden && Willow Smith.
 Love these two! They tied in the Best Young Talent award. Willow’s Fresh Prince shirt is haute.!

Kerry Washington.
 Loving this neon color! Great silhouette. I would have picked a different shoe though.

Alicia Keys.
 New mom Alicia Keys was styled by June Ambrose. Loving the fishtail braid and the black and white Louboutin’s in this look.

 

Rumor: Kanye designing a collection??

The rumors have been swirling in fashion circles that Kanye West will be designing a collection for the Spring 2012 season.

Kanye is no stranger to fashion. He has done a collaboration with Louis Vuitton on a shoe line, wore a Céline top to perform at Coachella, interned at Fendi, and designed a limited edition of silk scarves with French graphic design team M/M.

Mr. West is keeping quiet on the existence of the rumored collection but that doesn’t mean it’s not happening. From what I can gather the collection will be shown in October in Paris. It will be a presentation rather than a traditional runway show. The line will be for both men and women. The collection will probably be high end since Kanye was very busy during the fashion weeks earlier in the year. He was spotted sitting front row at many shows including Chanel, Rodarte, Alexander Wang, Lanvin, and Givenchy.

Kanye with fellow designers Pharell & Marc Jacobs.

 

When I saw Kanye with Tory Burch at the Met Gala I definitely knew he was up to something…I think I even tweeted about it. We’ll have to wait a few months to see if the rumors are true.
Here’s what I want to know…

Considering Kanye’s antics (Taylor Swift incident, etc…), do you care?
Will you save your pennies to buy a piece frm the collection?
What will he name the collection? (probably after himself)
Do you see other designers and celebs taking the line seriously?
What stores might carry the line?

More on the story at the UK Telegraph.

Haute Looks at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards.

Kristen Stewart in Balmain.
We get a rare smile from the ‘Twilight’ princess Kristen Stewart. Usually she’s all dark and awkward but I’m loving her look here. This Spring 2011 Balmain dress is spot-on. We need more of these tough but feminine looks from her.

Emma Watson in Marchesa.
The British beauty Emma Watson looks great in this short white Marchesa dress. It’s fun and flirty without being over-the-top.

Selena Gomez in GiambattistaValli.
How cute does Selena look?! This whole outfit hits from head-to-toe. It’s age appropriate and season appropriate. Not too many people wear Giambattista Valli on the red carpet but I approve of this look. I’m sure the boyfriend Justin Bieber approves too. 😉

Trey Songz.
R&B hit-maker Trey Songz hit the red carpet in a leather jacket, ivory scarf, printed tee, & jeans. Not sure who he’s wearing but he is on trend for the upcoming fall season. Leather will be in, especially non-traditional pieces like the blazer Trey has on.

Tyrese.
Okay, I see you Tyrese looking quite dapper. I am feeling this caramel leather aviator jacket. The singer and ‘Transformers’ star sports a white button up and white v-neck tee under the leather jacket. The sneakers don’t disappoint and the rosary beads are a nice touch.

Emma Stone in Bottega Veneta.
Emma Stone is wearing a look from the Fall 2011 runway. The black lace overlay compliments the grey and yellow striped bustier dress. I’m glad that Emma has returned to her red locks (although not her natural color).  The accessories are on point also, the burnt orange Casadei pumps and the orange Bottega Veneta clutch are the perfect compliment to the dress.

Leighton Meester in Balmain.
‘Gossip Girl’ star Leighton Meester is the third person to wear Balmain to this event. (Mila Kunis wore a Balmain skirt) The long-sleeved dress might be hot for the summer LA weather but I do love the pockets. Leighton keeps it fun in this blingy ultra mini.

Met Gala 2011 — Haute Looks && the Odd Couple.

There were so many great looks that graced the red carpet I just had to show some of the other looks. Check ’em out, tell me what you think. Is there anyone that you loved that I missed?

Sarah Jessica Parker in vintage Alexander McQueen.
love. love. love.

Carmelo Anthony and Lala Vazquez.
No one gave these two any shine but I think they look amazing. I’m kind of obsessed with Carmelo in the all black.
Lala is princess perfect and the colors of the dress and makeup are spot on.

Anna Wintour in Chanel Haute Couture.
A dubs looking oh-so-chic in the runway Chanel. She wears Chanel to this event every year.
This dress isn’t for everyone but I think she makes it cool.

Mary-Kate Olsen in vintage Christian Dior.
MK is giving a totally different look than the rest of the attendees. This vintage Dior is spot-on bohemian which is the hot trend for spring/summer. I love the red dress paired with the green jewelry and the smoky eye she’s wearing is killer.

Jennifer Hudson in Vera Wang.
Mrs. Jennifer Hudson looks amazing in this gown. I’ve been loving her fashion choices as of late.
I had to add the picture of her with the designer of her dress, the talented Vera Wang looking great in that chartreuse color.

Iman in Stella McCartney.
This woman never ages. Look at her rocking this low-cut gold jumpsuit.
She just looks flawless. Werk.!

Tory Burch and Kanye West.
Kind of the odd couple, no? Apparently Tory Burch is launching a menswear line and got Kanye to wear a suit from the collection. I never would have picked these two as friends. What do you think of Tory and Yeezy??

Would You Rock? Jeremy Scott x Adidas “Teddy Bears” Edition.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

New Years’ Eve is always a time to get dressed up. Lil’ Wayne was no exception as he and the Young Money crew performed at BET’s 106th & Party NYE show. Weezy sported a black and white BBC EVA Varsity jacket, a white tee, jeans, and the Jeremy Scott x Adidas Originals Teddy Bear sneakers. The sneakers retail for $328 and are part of the Spring/Summer 2011 collection. These are a bold choice for the popular rapper but he wears them well. My question to you is, would you rock?

 

Style Icon::Pharrell Williams

“The motivation for me is them telling me what I could not be…” – P.

Skateboard P at the Louis Vuitton Party

N.E.R.D. breakout star and successful producer as a member of ‘The Neptunes’, Pharrell Williams is a man of fashion. Less flashy than another stylish man in the hip-hop game, (cough. Kanye West.) but he is definitely fashionable in his own right. Also known as Skateboard P, this entrepreneur has an established luxury-sportswear line called Billionaire Boys Club. The line features funky graphic T-shirts to functional outerwear made with high-quality technical fabrics. BBC is geared towards a style conscious male, usually from the ages of 16-30 (with a sizable bank account as well). He also has another line called Ice Cream, which is a more street driven line co-founded with the BAPE clothing line (A Bathing Ape) founder.

Pharrell is no stranger to collaborations though. Musically, he’s worked with everyone from Madonna, Janet Jackson, Usher, Justin Timberlake, and Snoop Dogg. Other noted collabos for him include his stint as the face of the Louis Vuitton ad campaign in 2005 (a tough gig to come by) and his recent design of an All-American Harley Davidson. When a man dresses well, the women are never too far behind. His good looks don’t hurt either. Esquire named him the best-dressed man of 2005 and now Vanity Fair has named him one of the International Best-Dressed of 2010.

Check out some of Pharrell’s inspirations below.
