Kanye West collaborating on a shoe line with Louis Vuitton
The rapper was in the front row for the fashion giant’s unveiling of its
Spring 2009 collection in Paris.
Kanye, who was joined by music producer Pharrell Williams, confirmed he will
be working with Louis Vuitton to design a range of men’s footwear.
Speaking at the show, dressed entirely in his own fashion line, Kayne said:
"I’m here for Louis. I grew up with the Louis look, you know. I just love
the style."
Fashion conscious Kanye - famed for his bright plastic slatted sunglasses -
has already revealed plans to release his own brand of women’s wear,
separate from the Vuitton shoes deal, which will debut later this year.
Kanye has previously admitted his style is inspired by Carlton Banks - the
preppy upper class character from hit 90s US TV series ‘The Fresh Prince of
Bel Air’, which starred Will Smith.
At the fashion show, Pharrell also expressed his love for Louis Vuitton,
saying: "It's got style and elegance, man. And I do love the accessories, I
am an accessories boy.”
