Kanye’s coffee table book…what to expect?
Posted by Miss Info under for fashion-hounds and obsessive consumers , high point 2009 , life beyond rap , photos , quotes[65] Comments
According to NYMag’s The Cut….
Rizzoli has a book in the works about Kanye West, tentatively scheduled for an October 2009 release. Kanye West: Glow in the Dark will chronicle Kanye’s journeys around the world as he tours and hits up fashion parties. Photographer Nabil Elderkin also captured him shopping in Asian malls. The book will come with a USB drive of previously unreleased music and will cost $50.
So, there will be foppery and dandyism galore….but will there be caps-lock? and megalomania? and clever self-affirmations?
As long as there are posse pics like above, I’ll be happy.
The Asian shopping mall pics should be interesting….I’m sure ‘Ye spends lots of time/money at Omotesando Hills and Loveless, etc. (sigh…must be nice)
Here’s another pic from this recent Paris Fashion Week, where Kanye was causing divo palpitations at every show. This was backstage at the Dior show with style god Karl Lagerfeld…

Maybe fashion is too far above my head at this point but every dude in that photo looks suspect. Every single one.
Thousands of dollars to dress look like a loon, the shit is disgusting.

Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t find any of them fashionable. Original and creative (kind of a stretch) yes. But fashionable, ehhh. Looking forward to the book though.

WOOOW… Im very much into fashion myself, Kanye got me loving the Dior Hommes and Acne jeans but his crew don’t look on point!! that’s TOO many COLOURS for me.. but then again, fashion going all vintagy colourish so maybe thats the new look….
Othar than that it’s all love for yeezy.. i mean cmon he’s kick with THE GREAT LAGERFELD!! he be gettin that fashion money, alot people don’t know, theres load in that industry ..BUT I’ve seen niggas compromise theyrself or change their ”sexulaity” for a second just to get somewhere.. and that’s sad!!

I read Ferrari’s blog where he defended the look as being the height of fashion, and that they were some kind of Super Pimps.
Then.. where’s all the ladies?

I’m speechless. Where are they going looking like this ?
Usually an artist reflects their town. For example,
* BIG,Jayz,Fabolous was a reflection of BK
* Camron,Juelz reflecte Harlem
*Snoop – West coast
But Kanye doesnt not reflect the homies I know from Chicago.

Throw in a disco ball a bottle of lube and play some Darude’s sandstorm and this photo really makes sense.

they don’t look 100% straight, but their steez fits right into hip hop’s suspect masculine trends. along with wearin’ pink, tall tee’s, v-neck shirts and all leather gangstalicious related trends from the 80s…

everything is fine except for dude with the leopard tights and stetson boots ? c’mon dog, stop it — that’s not fashion forward and it looks hideous…as a matter of fact, it’s fashion backwards…you’re not prince or lenny kravitz, so stop it..
