Kanye West was spotted all layered up earlier this week as he hit the
streets of Manhattan in a long brown velvet pimp coat and Timberland
boots. He rounded out his outfit in a Maison Martin MargielaHoodie and black leather pants from Bottega Veneta’s Fall 2012 collection, which carry a price tag of $5300. Ouch!
Kanye West has teamed up with French design firm M/M (Paris) to create a collection of silk scarves inspired by the artwork from his last album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. This is a fitting collaboration considering the fact that M/M designers Mathias Augustyniak and Michael Amzalag designed the album’s linear notes with a gold illustrative letterset. The scarves measure in at almost a square meter and will be sold in a series of 250 scarves — 50 for each of the 5 different My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy covers. They will be available in the coming weeks at Colette and MMParis.com.
Kanye West debuted his "Long Form" music video RUNAWAY on Oct 23rd. This epic mini movie streamed through thousands of TV's and PC's. Teleporting all his viewers to the world of Kanye West giving us a taste of "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" his recent album. Which is banned form stores in the USA for his album cover, but available on iTunes.
West is known to having art influenced music videos. RUNAWAY takes his artistic aesthetic to the next
level. As the director of this film Kanye made sure to get his vision across. Filling this 34min video with vibrant visuals, classic cinematography, amazing artistic direction, and a love story wrapped up within a heavy message.

Bravo!!! To the amazing team that was behind the creation of Kanye's Costar Victoria's Secrets model Selita Ebanks. Who is no stranger to dawning a pair of wing as she played the Phoenix Kanye's love interest.
This angel was givin the works by Makeup Artist Adriana Bartosova, Body Painter David Sestak, and Costume Designer Josef Cechota . Making her come to life as the Phoenix.
With little words she captured viewers. With a stunning display of avian movement mixed with a sexy seduction.
"Many people don't appreciate this Mad Genius,
but the Neon Fix crew is behind you 100% sir"....IT'S JUST ART!!!
Kanye might have st the bar for long-form music video's but he's not the first, here are a few videos that go beyond that 3:45 min mark. That takes you on a journey into the artist world.
Seems largely of character, that after working meticulously for two (2) years on his much anticipated clothing line, Pastell (past tell museum), Kanye would stop the project dead in it's tracks. MURDERER! According to witnesses the scene must have went something like this. . . In a drunken stupor, Kanye can be heard referring to his garments as Taylored Swift, proclaiming Beyonce's House of Dereon could fashion battle Pastell to the grave, and arise the victor. He was then spotted in the dessert donning matching Dereon stockings and garter, shoving every sample piece into his car trunk, ripping them to shreds with a diamond cut shovel, all to the soundtrack of "Flashing lights". Ok so that was pure speculation, but my sources were very convincing. His line, he boasts, was to be a style mix of Urban outfitters, Polo, & American Apparel. Amazing lifestyle collection that postmortem, still does wardrobe for my dreams. After recruiting Lupe Fiasco & Rihanna for a campaign add, Mr. West faked left, and has supposedly gone right back to the drawing board to soon release a new self titled line. If he had just branded the project Neon instead of Pasttell, the outcome would have never been this dim lit. R.I.P. Pastell :-(
