Kanye West, Designer

pastellekanyewest.jpgTo be honest, I’d pretty much forgotten that Kanye West was going to do his own line, Pastelle. But apparently it’s finally arrived.

At this point, the man’s ego and mouth pretty much overshadow any professional endeavor he takes on. In spite of myself, I still love his music, but that’s about it—well, when he doesn’t use auto-tune, that is. Does anyone out there care about what this front row fixture has to bring to the design table? Because there’s certainly nothing super exciting in the pictures online.

And actually I’m more surprised that there wasn’t some massive publicity campaign surrounding the launch. I just happened up on the story on MTV.com. Did Kanye really decide to stop talking now? Weird.

he's already worn all the pieces in the 'look book' to award shows and what not. nothing special.

i'm pretty sure after his mouth got him in trouble he fell of the face of the planet.

It just looks like all those other street brands (BBC, supreme nyc, etc.), but like a cheaper version. It looks so weak compared to those other brands and they're lame too. Why did Marc Jacobs ever let him design for Louis Vuitton?

His music will always have credit, but I don't think anything else he does will!

Am I the only one who didn't think his LV collaboration was bad? Considering he was designing luxury sneakers, I think he did an excellent job.

Many times, you look at something and wonder why the Ked's looking shoe with patent leather sides costs $400.
At least he brought something more than different colors to the table.
