So this year the "Louis Vuitton Don " Mr. Kanye West himself set 2011 and now 2012 on fire with music and fashion ...which I can say he is very good at ...Making the summer hot with "Watch The Throne " Cd with Jay-Z then turned around and dropped a line for Spring 2012 which was not received well but I loved it ...Fur ,leather,heels high you know that jet setting rock star look ...lets look below at the collection ...
I loved it the highlights were these shoes ... to me at least !
$980
Shoes are by Giuseppe Zanotti x Kanye West these for $5800 ( yikes)
After he was shut down by and unforgiven industry ...for what reason I do not know of I'm sure he took what he learned while interning at FENDI and working closely with Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy he used what he learned to make a new hot collection ...Fall 2012 is looking hot for the DW (Donda West )line... The Show was this morning In Paris for fashion week ...check it out let me know what you think ...
Well I like it ..Mr.West did his thing would be a dream to get my hands on some pieces and shoot them The boots and the lush fur and bags are it . I know it feels good to have all your friends in the industry front row and fly from all over to see what you have created . Very Jeanous ..Reminds me of the bad bitch era post I did featuring Total with the black leather and all ...what do you think ?
Well I know Im not the only fashion head that gets excited when designers do a sub line with Target or Khols or H&M im all for a discount with the same quality that i would have paid if it was from a flagship store so here we are again ...This time with Jason Wu !!!
The designer thats synonymous for his White House entry looks on thee Mrs Michelle Obama during the inaugural process his name then begin to ring bells on who is Jason Wu well as you have seen his sleek chick designs had Mrs Obama looking very classic . Well now U can get a piece of the Wu at your local target on Feb 5th..Look for frocks with sailor hemlines ,dainty blouses with neck ties and collars ,sportier knits and tennis skirts(throwback).
Jason Wu for Target Dress $40 Satchel $50
Jason Wu:"My Goal was not to duplicate anything from my main collection....Instead I designed completely new clothes and accessories that reflect my taste and have a voice on their own".
Will u partake in this collabo and own a peice of the Wu ?
I know we all remember this lil snaggatooth lil girl that is now all grown up and a senior in high school ..even tho she is still a child she is dressed to the 9's in the latest Fashion In the ELLE UK issue...check her out ...

Last week Christmas day to be exact "BigMomma" Lilkim tweeted this photo readying her fans and naysayers that 2012 she's coming back !!!! with her new Universal records company signing and her saying she is releasing and EP ...In her Honey girl fashion she is donning the latest fashions some fans are not to happy about the heavy airbrushing and Photoshopping but to each his own ...Personally I think she looks swell ...shot by Mike Antonio lil kim was wearing ...

No word yet when the Ep will be released but i hope these 5-7 gives me the Kim everybody loves no auto tuning just str8t rapping..and from the looks of the photo she is not playing its a good look and u know its not Kim if no Fur is not involved .
Ok so we got no EP like Kim said but she released a couple songs since late December...One was "If you love me"the most resent ...along with "Spend a million bucks "and a couple others being that its Kim I will always check them out I understand her plight to do and try different things rap wise but she needs to take a page out of Jay-Z Nas and other greats book and just stay true to how she came in the game raunchy ,truthful ,unmatched flow and that deep voice we all love ...so she released some art work some I like other I dont ..Here we go lets check it !!
Shot By Micheal Antonio ...I LIKE THIS !!
