The Return of the Baggy Pants?

Filed under: Men, Fashion Week

Phillip Lim's olive baggy trousersA few weeks ago at the Grammys, Jay-Z showcased his ode against the knot-crushing restrictiveness of the skinny jean. Like usual, his deeply meaningful fashion commentary lead us into a long rant about the future of men's pants and that perhaps we're approaching the end of the skinny jeans era. Apparently, we're not alone in that opinion. The news coming out of London Fashion Week indicates that many designers are pushing styles with pleats and room for your bankroll.

Make that Martin Louis the Mullet King Jr. - Kanye's Mullet

Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Hair Cut and Style

Kanye performs at the 2009 GrammysFor any of you who missed the coronation of "Martin Louis the King Jr.," formerly known as "The Louis Vuitton Don," Stylelist posted the video a few weeks ago. One thing you might have noticed about the new Kanye West in the video is a vaguely familiar hairdo -- one that showed up again this week at the Grammys. What do they call it again? Oh yeah -- the mullet. Only the most despised and berated hairstyle on planet earth, popularized in the 80's by pro-wrestlers and other goons. Kanye, on the other hand is a very fashionable guy. What gives?

Jay-Z Says Skinny Jeans Crowd His Knots - The Tight Pants Debate

Filed under: Jeans, Men, Celebrities with Style

Jay-Z raps at the 2009 Grammy AwardsIf you watched Sunday night's 2009 Grammy Awards -- or you happened to flip past CBS at exactly the right moment like we did -- you got to see the most star-studded hip hop group since NWA performing a remixed version of "Paper Planes," entitled "Swagga Like Us." The show-stopping jam featured verses by Kanye West, Lil' Wayne, T.I., Jay-Z, and M.I.A -- but it was one of Jay-Z's rhymes that is sparking controversy in the world of hipster fashion, "no one on the corner/got a bop like this/don't wear skinny jeans/'cause my knots won't fit."

50 Cent to Launch a Cosmetics Line for Men

Filed under: Men, Cosmetics, Celebrities with Style

50 Cent wearing digital camo in concertWe're not sure what to say about 50 Cent's decision to launch a line of face-pampering cosmetics for men, so we'll just start with the facts. It's being reported that the street-hardened rapper is currently in the final stages of development on a male cosmetics line. According to a unnamed source, "his range will be for the guy who likes to be pampered, but the supplements will make it more butch." Exactly what we'd expect from Fiddy, right?

Meet Martin Louis the King Jr.

Filed under: Style in the News


A message from kwest on Vimeo.

Oh, Kanye. Our dear rapper friend has outdone himself once again. Just when we thought his Louis Vuitton moment was over, he goes and creates this nice minute and a half video. Those who have consumed the artist's last four albums should be well aware of the fact that Mr. West has arbitrarily named himself the "Louis Vuitton Don."

Revealed, Kanye West's Hi-Top Louis Vuitton Sneaker

Filed under: Style in the News



Last week, Kanye West's highly anticipated sneaker collection with Louis Vuitton was finally unveiled at the luxury label's menswear presentation in Paris. Not only did front row guests get to see the pearly white low-top shoes that TMZ spotted the rapper donning a while back, but they also caught a first look at the candy-colored hi-tops 'Ye also made for LV.

While the sneakers are admittedly a little too rich for our blood, we imagine lots of luxury consumers and dedicated sneaker heads will be sporting a pair by this summer. Recently, the AP caught up with the man of the hour to discuss his project with LV and as usual, Mr. West doesn't fail to disappoint with the sound bites. Watch and enjoy.

Popped Collars for Men - Yea or Nay?

Filed under: Runway Trends, Men

A douchey guy wearing a popped collarFor most men, pulling off a fashion forward look is a mysterious and slightly heretical dark art. Sure, it's OK when Kanye West wants to wear a bandit scarf, but when a dude shows up at a bar with a goofy bandanna on, he just gets funny looks and people snickering at him behind his back. Here's another specifically male ego-sensitive fashion dilemma: is a popped collar really ever a good look for the average joe? If so, when and how?

Kanye digs Ellen's style

Filed under: Celebrities with Style

If we had to guess who Kanye West's fashion inspiration was, we'd have one guess -- Kanye West. However, that guess would be incorrect. In fact, he really admires the sartorial skills of Ellen DeGeneres.

I want that! Jay-Z's scarves

Filed under: Get the Look



Little bro Boyd, a rap fanatic who we swear will be the next big producer, has been asking where rappers like Jay-Z get the scarves they rock.

Most rap super stars like Jay-Z, Lupe Fiasco, and Dipset wear scarves by Louis Vuitton and Gucci. You can also try Urban Outfitters for something affordable.

Now that we've dropped a little knowledge on you like a big sister should, save your dough stacks and go get a cashmere Gucci scarf!

Kanye gets arrested at LAX after run-in with paparazzi

Filed under: Celebrities with Style

Being an international music and style icon, rapper and sometimes clothing designer Kanye West has to be about as comfortable with getting mobbed by the paparazzi as one can get. Yet, it appears that even Kanye can sometimes lose his cool amidst the constant click of $10,000 cameras.

According to reports, at around 7:15am Thursday morning, Kanye and his manager/bodyguard Don Crowley got arrested for "felony vandalism." The altercation apparently broke out between West, Crowley, and two TMZ photographers in area just outside of LAX's security screening area. No word yet about what set Kanye off, but if we had to guess, we'd say that he's probably not a morning person. Police originally considered battery charges for the star, but found no evidence and stuck with vandalism of a camera valued at over $10k.

TMZ apparently got the whole thing on video. To be fair, if there's any time or place that we wouldn't want the paprazzi in our face, it's at 7:15am just before we have to go through an airport security probing. Bad timing.
