It's official: Kanye West will show during Paris Fashion Week this season. Vogue UK confirmed last night that the rapper is indeed showing--and that he's tapped designer talent Katie Eary to be one of the top creatives at the label. Eary, who has won critical acclaim for her menswear, added womenswear to her label in September 2010--which means the line she is working on with Kanye is just as likely to be menswear as it is to be womenswear (or both).

Smack in the middle of Men's Fashion Week, the British Fashion Council has announced its NEWGEN menswear class of Spring 2011. Much like the womenswear recipients, announced June 10, the ten designers will be afforded the opportunity to show their Spring 2011 collections at London Fashion Week this September. And along with £5,000 – £10,000 towards their show costs, they'll receive free exhibition space, usage of the BFC catwalk and mentoring. Christopher Shannon, James Long, and JW Anderson will use stage runway shows; Carolyn Massey, Lou Dalton, and Sibling will do presentations; and Christopher Raeburn, James Small, Katie Eary, and Omar Kashoura will create installations.
