Kanye West to design shoes for Louis Vuitton

Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News, Shoes, Men, Celebrities with Style


Kanye West revealed to WWD that he has plans to work with Louis Vuitton, or "Louis" as the rapper says. The collaboration between the rapper and the label will be on a line of men's shoes.

That's not the only thing Kanye is designing these days -- he anticipates launching his first women's clothing line under his own name this fall. This mixing of the worlds of hip hop and the classic LV logo won't be the first, though.

Louis Vuitton: Bringing camouflage back

A couple of weeks ago, the Takashi Murakami - Louis Vuitton exhibit opened at the Brooklyn Museum with a swoon-worthy party and a stellar performance by Kanye West.

Takashi Murakami hits the MOCA in Los Angeles

murakamiLA Fashion Week may be coming to an end but the fashion fun isn't over in the City of Angels.

The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles will be presenting work from Takashi Murakami October 28, 2007 through February 11, 2008.

Murakami is best known in the fashion world for his collaboration with Louis Vuitton, under Marc Jacobs' creative direction. The exhibit will include selections from the early 1990s to the present. Murakami's exhibit will occupy 20,000 square feet and will have over 90 works in various media.

Perhaps the most appealing aspect of the exhibit (to me) is the 1,000-square-foot Vuitton mini-boutique on the museum's mezzanine floor. The shop will include an extensive line of handbags and accessories created for the show.
