The rapper kept his new collaboration with designer Jean Touitou under wraps until it launched on Sunday (14.07.13), and the nine-piece capsule collection crashed the brand's website because demand was so high.

Kanye's line for the hip-hop label consists of seven logo-less pieces, including two T-shirts, two pairs of jeans and three jumpers. It is now only available via pre-order after the clothes were snapped up within a matter of hours.

Designer Jean claimed the collaboration was two years in the making, and admits the musician wasn't the easiest of people to work with because he kept redesigning the items to fit with his image.
The funny thing is apart from redesigning over and over, we are talking about some plain white shirts and all basics. Crazy, right?

Wear the Celebs labels!


Kanye West is designing a new menswear collection:


French brand APC confirmed their collaboration with the 'Yeezus' rapper via Instagram following reports by W Magazine last month that the rapper's new men's capsule collection would feature "jeans, T-shirts, and hoodies,”
Posting a picture of blue denim with a red tag that reads "A.P.C. Kanye", the fashion label revealed the line would go on sale later this month. The caption read: "A.P.C. KANYE CAPSULE COLLECTION, JULY 14. #apc #kanyewest (sic)".
Whilst there are as yet no details about what the clothes will look like, it seems a wise move to team up with an establish brand after Kanye's own 2011 debut womenswear collection was widely panned by critics.


Karl Lagerfeld and his cat Choupette have been immortalised in plastic:


The Chanel designer and his beloved furry friend have been turned into a toy figurine as part of Japanese-inspired company tokidoki's latest capsule collection, which also features clothing inspired by the fashion mogul.
The limited-edition line also boasts two other figurines, a Karl-emblazoned clutch bag, printed jeans and casual T-shirts and vest tops.
It comes as no surprise the 79-year-old star is pleased at with the statuette of him cuddling his cat. He is so besotted with Choupette - who has two maids to provide her with round-the-clock care and her own iPad - that he admitted last month he is disappointed there is "no marriage, yet, for human beings and animals."

Sandals + Socks: fashion crime?

Can you wear socks and sandals style and look chic? Yes you can. Socks and sandals  was once a fashion faux-pas; but now is a fashion trend. But still a trend that must be executed right. So how do you pull off socks and sandals style? Check it out below! 




All in denim

Winter is ending and the next station is ready to dress the man to score one goal with each outfit. The first is promoting the love for jeans clothes. According to Calvin Klein s/s 2013, be total in jeans is a must! Deep indigo, washed, bleached, mix the types and carry on!
 

Paul Smith will show his menswear collection in London in June 
The fashion designer will showcase his label's spring/summer 2014 collection at the biannual men's' fashion week in the British capital for the first time. However, the brand will still debut its main collection at Paris Fashion Week.
It was previously revealed that Burberry would break from tradition, showing its new menswear line in London for the very first time. The brand traditionally launches new collections at Milan Men's Fashion Week in the Italian capital. Other newcomers to London Collections: Men include Jimmy Choo and Rag & Bone.
More than 60 designers are expected to show at the week-long event, which takes place between June 15 and June 18. Returning designers include Tom Ford, Alexander McQueen and Spencer Hart.

Go Digital!

Digital prints have been a hot fashion trend for a few seasons now, and we’ve recently noticed them popping up with increased frequency. In case you didn’t know, digital prints are dramatic motifs (often from photographs) made on a computer for a specific garment. The most popular styles of digital prints are bold, almost psychedelic motifs. Designers like Mary Katrantzou (catwalk picture) have made them increasingly popular in recent seasons. Get a piece and make a statement!



Having trouble to tie a tie?
Then follow these instructions below...  There are four necktie knots are in widespread use. They are the four-in-hand knot, the half-Windsor knot, the Windsor knot and the Shell knot. Get over it! 


Gucci go eco
Gucci has created a handbag range using legally produced leather from the Brazilian Amazon. The luxury fashion brand has teamed with Green Carpet Challenge, co-founded by actor Colin Firth's wife Livia Firth, for the collection of responsibly sourced bags featuring three styles - the hobo, the top-handle tote and the New Jackie - which are already on sale in Gucci stores and online.
The Gucci for the Green Carpet Challenge Handbag Collection all bear a GCC brand mark as well as a 'passport' which documents the origins of the bag, as well as allows the owner to trace where the materials came from.
The red wine-coloured bags are guaranteed to not cause deforestation and Gucci has begun using cattle ranches which are certified by the National Wildlife Federation and Rainforest Alliance.
Right on, Gucci! We  totally approve the idea!

Try Hot pink !

Neon was spotted on the womens wear catwalks every now and again, but took the spotlight on the menswear catwalks – particularly in London. Hot pink was the key shade, showcased through bright jumpers and blazers at Topman, stripe details at Sibling and patterned trouser suits at Meadham Kirchoff. Afraid? Don't be! According to a research, men who wear pink shirts to work earn more and are better qualified than those who favour traditional colours such as white or blue. If this is completely true we don't know, but it doesn't' hurt trying, right? 



Paris Fashion Week starts today 
Concluding four weeks of international shows, the French capital follows in the footsteps of New York, London and Milan by showcasing the autumn/winter 2013 presentations from some of fashion's biggest names.
Alexander Wang will make his debut at Balenciaga on Thursday morning (28.02.13), having Nicolas Ghesquière in November last year, and all eyes will be on him to see what he has to offer.
Raf Simons' will show his second ready-to-wear collection for Dior the following day (01.03.13), while Hedi Slimane's next offering for Saint Laurent is sure to attract a star-studded front row.
However, Alexander McQueen is missing from the show line-up this season as creative director Sarah Burton is on maternity leave so the label will instead host an intimate presentation.
Other labels to show at PFW include Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Lanvin and Isabel Marant. We are looking forward to see what Paris will bring! Yay!

From summer to fall 
While boots have always been a wardrobe staple for fall, the wedge was something that was reserved for summer… until now! A platform wedge is the ultimate fall shoe must-have due to its tendency to be uber chunky, yet trendsetting and sexy, regardless of whether they’re paired jeans or midi skirts.

The 'Stay' singer has teamed up with the luxury cosmetics brand to release four collections over the course of the year under the name RiRi [Hearts] MAC.
Rihanna's first release with MAC will be a new spin on the company's Ruby Woo red lipstick - a favourite of the 25-year-old singer's - which will be titled RiRi Woo. The lipstick's release will coincide with the singer's Diamonds World Tour concerts on May 4 and 5 in New York City, with a pop-up stall celebrating the launch at her concert in Brooklyn's Barclays Center.
Following the release of RiRi Woo, a second collection will go on sale in the summer, followed by a fall collection and a fourth collection to tie in with the Christmas season. Don’t’ miss out! 



Then and Now 
In 1967, the stunning Bulgari emerald and diamond piece was shining on Elizabeth Taylor’s neck. After decades, the $6.1million necklace was picture again, but in another A-lister actress– Julianne Moore. Who wore it better? 


Noble Knights
The knight armored style hoodie will definitely be a showstopper if spotted on the streets. It sure won't protect any sword from puncturing, but it'll provide you a lot of comfort. Get on the trend!
