KANYE WEST + ALEXIS PHIFER = POPLUXE
Friday, July 27, 2007
PIC CREDITS: LAVISH MAGAZINE
Kanye is showing off his L.A. pad and fiancée, designer Alexis Phifer - in the August Issue of Harper’s Bazaar. On its pages, he talks about:
His style:
“It’s like …pop luxe. Pop and luxury. Everything about me is pop and luxury.”
“Alexis is my original stylist,” says West.”She helped me get fresh!”
Meeting his fiancée, Alexis Phifer:
Alexis was wearing Miss Sixtys. I had on this throwback jersey, and the first thing I said to her, because I could tell she was stylish, was ‘I don’t normally dress like this!’ ”
His favorite designer:
“I lived for Dior until Hedi Slimane left. So I’m gonna see what he comes out with.”
Claims that he’s cocky:
“I’m really shy. … Why do you think I’m so cocky? It overcomes it.”

Cosign with whytry, I was getting ready to post the same thing. Kanye has got to be the most Metrosexual man I have ever seen! I’m not nearly as into fashion as he is. And I’m a woman!

I met Kanye as much as he is cocky he is a down to earth brother. Most of these rappers are not what they image portray. So its a breath of fresh air to see someone be true to there real self image like Kanye. He is one of kind.

I can’t stand his egotistical ass. He gets on my damn nerves! You would think that after all he’s been thru that he would be a little more appreciative instead of just acting like an asshole.

>>>>> He does. Arrogance is a means for people to protect themselves. Don’t think for a second that Puffy and Jay-Z are confident about themselves and strong. The most humble people are generally the strongest and most confident ones, they don’t have to brag or inferiorize anyone cause their strength and confidence speak for themselves. I can tell you for sure that Common is a secure, confident and strong soul.

>>>>>>>>> He got engage to her right after breaking up with that Brooke girl (over the whole Myspace drama), it’s like he just wanted to hurt Brooke. They do look cute and stylish but I have a hard time taking this engagement seriously; But oh well, that’s his life.

They are a fly ass couple! And Kanye knows damn well that he is cocky, I hope that was just sarcasm. “I don’t normally dress like this”, I wish sombody would try to step to me with that weak line. I would of been like ok who cares, but I guess 1st impressions are everything. It must of been an old Oilers throwback jersey or something.

Cocky? Yes. Goofy? Yes. Refreshing? Yes. Original? Yes. Trendsetter? Yes.
He might be arrogant as all get up but it is great to see a “rapper” that steps out of the box. Instead of wearing those baggy @ss jeans most of these idiot @ss rappers are doing…Kanye kept it fresh and funky…and got brah’s rocking sweaters and blazers in the morning and jeans and one’s in the evening. Gotta love the inventiveness.

ok..let me see…Kanye his hated because he brags a lot…
Interesting…
Almost every video I’ve had the chance of seeing in the hip-hop/ R and B circuit is a video of someone bragging. It could be women or men. I see diamonds being flashed; I see designer jeans; I see Louis Vuitton purses; I see high price cars. And if you don’t see these material items, you see a provocatively dress women bragging about her ass or looks.
So, really, if you don’t like Kanye, then you must hate the HipHop and R&B community..
My thing is, if you are going to bitch about one man, bitch about them all.

I can’t knock his hustle or his taste.

NO ONE on her knows what kanye does with his money or what kind of relationship he has with GOD. Just know that before you start runnin off @ the mouth about what he does with his money and how he should be humble. Kanye is cocky whenit comes to his music…He is an artist, he takes it serious because he’s good at it and is confident in what he does.

at #41- those may seem like just “stuffed animals” to you but if you knew anything about the “street/skate” culture youd know that those are called “toys” and there a big deal in street/skate culture,there mad expensive and usually made by two different companies that collaborate….anyways kane is pretty vital in making the skate culture blow up in the mainstream along with pharrell……anyways jus droppin a lil knowledge, its all G*

#48 Kanye is cocky whenit comes to his music…
Did you see his hizzy-fit in England or wherever he was when he didn’t when the best video award? He jumped up on stage and ranted on about the million he spent on his video. That was some ARROGANT chit! I don’t see other artists jumping on stage when they loose and demanding acknowlegement. He’s cocky and ungrateful; he was near death for crying out loud. Show some thankfullness in your life for once.

I agree with you 100% the whole rap and r&b game is about bragging about what they have and being cocky….I don’t understand either how they get so upset with kanye on here but don’t have a problem with T.I. who constantly says how he’s the best and how he’s a sex symbol….isn’t that just as cocky if anything he’s more cocky then Kanye but the women on this board never have a bad thing to say about the dude. Not hating cuz TI is my dude….I guess if you find someone attractive on here it’s okay to be arrogant and cocky…..Just a bunch of hyprocrits….
Kanye and his fiance have style and like fashion ain’t nothing wrong with dressing nice and caring about your appearance…

Pretty much all of what kanye produced since he started with the dynasty were BANGING ass beats. I would give a list but it aint that serious. I love music so I respect kanye in that aspect and I fully understand and can’t hate on him being cocky about his shit.
That boy almost died in 2002. He has a chance now to live life the way he wants just because it isnt the wasy you would, doesnt mean it aint right.
I cant wait til the graduation drops.

YOURE RIGHT!! Because of Kanye & Pharrell, I had to change my whole style…I went to a white preppy school……
Evrybody at my HS was rocking the Ralph Lauren Polos with the collar flipped since my freshman year in 1999..way before Kanye….
Now that shit is played…
I dont shop at American Eagle, Abercrombie, Hollister or none of them NOW wack ass store..bc everybody was bitin’
Its all about Urban Outfitters, American Apparrell, American Rag, & Centre..
DONT BITE FOLKS!

read the interview if you want. I put it up just incase you feel like reading. You must not be a fan, and it seems like you are assuming. Based on what you see on tv.
I respect him and his creativity and so many other things. I usually tend to speak about things and people I have read about or am a fan of, and if I dont im just making jokes.

Alexis helped him get fresh??? Why do I feel like this chic is playing Barbies and Kanye is her personal Ken doll. Doesn’t he know he’s being used as walking-talking advertisement for Alexis’ lack of style. She’s trying to start a fashion craze at his expense. A lot of times he looks like he just lost his mind.
