Mr. West Is In The Building

As you know it is Paris Fashion Week once again. This year Kanye West has embarked on a bold quest to go where no hip-hop artist has gone before(well at not like this at least).

In case you missed it here are some of the looks from his new women's collection:








































































































































Overall not too bad for a first pass at women's wear. There is definitely room for growth. Some of the fur seemed pointless unless however your occupation is in the area where making a point is the objective. The use of texture was inspiring while some of the color blocking and zipper treatments bordered on the unnecessary. I give this a. 3 out of 5 overall. Feel free to lend your comments here.

Going Gold

Unless you have been living under a rock, you already know that gold is the safest investment in uncertain financial times like this.

Dior Homme has made their own investment with the new limited edition "Gold 01" aviator sunglasses. The frames are solid 18-karat gold.



$5,500

Your welcome.
