KWest x LVuitton = finally

Season after season, hip-hop superstar Kanye West is front row at the Vuitton show. He calls himself the "Louis Vuitton don" as he's an avid walking mannequin for the label, giving them free publicity 24/7 and receiving nothing in return other than a hefty receipt (he can handle it). Things have changed as Kanye has finally taken his love for design and fashion and made something of it; fortunately enough with the most dominating fashion house in the world (I think that's pretty safe to say). A single style from the KWxLV collab debuted during Paris fashion week, on the runway for Louis Vuittons menswear show yesterday. The collab features several designs, including a simple white boat shoe embossed with the signature LV logo debuted earlier this month (shown below). The style featured in the show (calfskin - red, black)will be hitting Vuitton stores in June 2009. What do we think? The red ones tickle my fancy. Though I thought Kanye would design with a colour explosion in mind, the sneakers are tasteful and classic appealing to...everyone. P.S. Marc Jacobs in a skirt paired with Stephen Sprouse tribute leggings = priceless.
