FRESH FELLA SPOTLIGHT: KANYE WEST
Sunday, June 7, 2009

Though I don’t cover men’s fashion like I should here, I received lots of questions about this outfit Kanye West rocked while on the set of the Clipse’s ‘Kinda Like a Big Deal’ video in New York recently. I decided to spotlight this look this week with the items he rocked:
A. - Starting with Mr. West’s favorite pair of shades - Kanye wore the ‘Flat top’ sunglasses by RETROSUPERFUTURE ($132)
B. & C. - Then moving along to the two most asked questions on this outfit, Kanye wore a Rick Owens DRKSHDW black poplin jean jacket ($629) along with his black custom-made wooden Jesus pendant. A more price friendly alternative I found to his jacket was G Raw Denim’s “Mash Jacket” ($260)
D. - Kanye wore his very own Louis Vuitton ‘Jasper’ sneakers (retailed for $990) to complete the black’d out look which he showed off separately…
E. - On his wrist was his black Rolex Submariner, which he even features as 1 of his 10 fashion essentials on mens.style.com.

I must really miss 90’s music, because I swear those shades reminds of the 90’s,
( the “Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number” album cover) and so on and so forth. Seriously, I must’ve been sleeping under a rock or something, because I haven’t been seeing any of today’s artists rocking flat shades in years…….Years!
When I saw those shades, I kinda got a little emotional. I almost criededed.

Kanye dresses too….what’s the word….WIERD, for me. I mean yes he has style, but I like my men looking VERY manly, not SOME-WHAT or PARTLY manly i.e. Kanye. I really don’t like the skinny jeans on men..SUPER DOUBLE EW!

KANYE SO SEXY
Sunday, June 7, 2009 /
Yes yall Kanye is just so sexy and his style is so sexy. He don’t care what yall say, he gone do what he wanna do. He walk to the beat of his own drum. @ELIJAH Ciara please sit down. I checked your twitter and you are bragging about having dinner with Kim Kardashion. Shouldnt she be bragging about having dinner with you? You are so D-list for that one. While you could be hanging out with Kanye you choose the slut of the century. Quit begging folks to follow you and start hanging out with some real people.

Personally I’d like to see less about how much these celebs spend on their clothes and more about what they are doing in our community. I’d like to see one talk about investing in your financial and spiritual future. Instead what we get is how much so and so paid for their jacket.

Kanye’s style is dope!!! The thing I love about him is that you can clearly tell this is HIS fashion, not that of a stylist!! Happy Birthday today Kanye!!! The LVs will be in the stores this month and I cant wait to get my paws on a pair of the ladies pair! I love Kanye’s music bc its the truth and it speaks volumes! Anyone that puts that much time, effort, and care into what they do will always be respected!!! Do you Ye! I love u!!!

I like the look that Kanye is sporting….def. stylish! He is a ego manic tho, so not sure how he would go about accepting the compliments on his style. He’s liable to say, “I know” than “Thank you” such a pompus azz. Anyway yea featuring more mens fashion would be a delight. Featuring the style of brothers like Pharrell, Boris Kodjoe, Djimon, Idris Elba, just to name a few.
