Kanye West is proving himself quite the well-rounded fashion guy. There's his current stint at Gap and the rapper's recently released Louis Vuitton sneaker collaboration.

West gave the public a hint of what to expect when he wore the sneakers during Men's Fashion week Fall/Winter 2009 in Paris, and now the limited edition footwear is finally out!

Rumor has it that there's a serious wait list, and even though the footwear debuted late June, the collection of 10 styles may already be sold out!

Kanye West is Working at Gap

Looks like Kanye West is covering his fashion bases! First, he worked gratis for Louis Vuitton and Raf Simons, now Kanye is going mainstream by working at Gap!

As Us Weekly initially reported Kanye has been quietly putting in the hours as an intern at the Gap offices. "He works all the time, and one Friday night recently, he stayed until 12 a.m. He's learning the fashion business from the inside and trying to do it quietly," the site stated.

Gap confirmed the story to StyleList: "Kanye's been spending time working in Gap's offices, working with Patrick Robinson, as he's interested in gaining more firsthand experience of the fashion industry."

From the sounds of our Gap source, we speculate that Kanye is probably not interning but rather working on a collaboration. (After all, we can't really see the music mogul fetching coffee and managing calendar appointments like a usual fashion intern.)

Plus, considering the cool capsule collections with last year's CFDA winners, could a Kanye/Gap one be far behind?

And at first his much-hyped Louis Vuitton sneaker collaboration was delayed until the end of the year, now we hear that it may be already sold out! (Figures.) But with the current Gap stint, maybe Kanye is learning that fashion is fickle and flying under the fashion radar is the right way to go?

The ultra-stylish Mr. Kanye West hosted the 3rd annual Men.Style.com Women of Fashion Awards last night in NYC to celebrate the most elegant behind-the-scenes women in the industry (who also happen, in this case, to be gorgeous).

Designers (Rachel Roy, Charlotte Ronson, Minnie Mortimer Gahan), muses (Chloe Sevigny, Milla Jovovich, Erin Wasson), stylists, publicists and other glamorous go-getters were feted at the Palace Hotel (fittingly, the fictional home of the "Gossip Girl" crowd).

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!

We had a great weekend. We danced our butts off, sang our hearts out and probably had one too many beers at the Glow in the Dark tour in illy Philly on Saturday night. But as always, we were thinking of our dear reader's and before we went in to enjoy the likes of Rihanna, Lupe Fiasco (heart!), N.E.R.D. and the brilliant Kayne, we took a tour of tailgate heaven to see what's hot and what's not for concert gear this year.

Here is a breakdown of the ideal concert attire:
