We've been expecting a Kanye West clothing line ever since he resurrected the Louis Vuitton backpack from its resting place in the late 90's, but we've never been so pleasantly surprised by a celeb-designer collaboration.
Considering he's been a such a huge fan that he named himself the Louis Vuitton don, Kanye's partnership is a dream come true. He designed five sneaker styles for the French House and one, cherry red with smooth lines and clean detail, made it to the runway. Mr. West told NY Time's T magazine that the raised back was inspired by a jacket in the movie Dune. We're thinking the entire look is very Disco meets Dorothy, something you'd see on the dancers in Madonna's Sticky Sweet tour. We don't just like it, we LOVE it. Now we know where we'll be spending our Obama Stimulus Check!!
Congrats Kanye, you WORKED it!
