Star Style - Kanye West

In typical Kanye West fashion, he was spotted leaving his hotel in NYC making a very stylish and grand statement. He wore a full length fur coat, leather pants, and a pair of Nike Air Jordan Retro 3 sneakers. I’m not sure if this is the same fur coat, but he wore one very similar around this same time last year for Paris fashion week. Kanye can also be seen carrying a snake print and leather paneled backpack. Do you like his look?

Kanye West in Custom Made 3.1 Phillip Lim Fuchsia Blazer and Hermes Sneakers

Kanye West must be really enjoying Fashion week because he has been seen at all the major shows making sure his presence is felt by wearing the loudest, most flamboyant yet very stylish outfits. He was spotted front row at the the Jeremy Scott Spring 2011 fashion show wearing a pair of black plastic aviator sunglasses, a 3.1 Phillip Lim blazer (inspired from the women’s collection that he had custom made for himself), white pants and a pair of my favorite Hermes sneakers ($900+) in crocodile leather. I gotta say I am really loving this Rosewood movement because it’s bringing something real refreshing to the urban fashion and style that is very much needed.

Star Style - Kanye West

Kanye West really isn’t playing with this Rosewood Movement, he was spotted out in New York City in a Band of Outsiders Shawl Collar Dinner Jacket ($1,824). This hand tailored one button dinner jacket features a shawl collar, front flap pockets and back side vents and is made with natural cotton canvas. He finished off the look with black pants and a pair of white Adidas Vintage Rod Laver Sneakers ($75), and you got to love the distressed brown leather tote he is carrying. In my opinion Kanye is really connecting on all cylinders right now because this fit is DOPE! What do you think about his look? More pics below...

Star Style - Kanye West

Kanye West was spotted out and about walking the streets of New York City yesterday. He looked quite sharp in a well tailored grey two-button suit, tie, and what appeared to be a pair of velvet slippers, which I would assume to be by Tom Ford and if so they’ll run you about ($1,500). I like the look, but one thing stood out to me as a little off, and it’s that his shirt cuff seems to stick out to far from the sleeves of his jacket. I was taught that the sleeves of the  jacket should stop at the wrist-bone, and with the arm at rest, the shirt sleeve should extend no more than one-half inch below the sleeves of your jacket. Is this a rule you follow, or are you just like  Mr. West, where you make your own?

Kanye West Styles in Camel Prada Suit & Tretorn x Comme des Garcon Sneakers

Kanye West tweeted to his fans about the decision to wear his camel colored Prada suit over an all white suit for the last official day of summer. Later that day, he was spotted entering his Maybach in New York Rosewood style, and it was clear to me why the Prada suit was the #1 choice. Hands down, the suit is simply amazing! The camel color is pretty enough and dark enough to be worn during the day or night, and, more importantly, it’s the perfect way to say goodbye to summer and hello to fall. Kanye casually paired his suit with the Oliver People “Daddy B” Sunglasses ($325) and a pair of Tretorn x Comme des garcon canvas sneakers ($100-$200) in white. These sneakers feature colored piping and lining with the words “Himalaya”, “Spirit”, “Training” and “Freedom” hand written onto it.

Style Icon - Kanye West

He may have started his career as another r'n'b artist, but he doesn't just stop there. We've spotted an evolution not only in music or personal life, but in fashion too. No no, it's not another drama queen or a Hollywood's party animal. This time it's about the stylish and hottie Kanye West. No better example for a male modern fashion icon than him.

  Over the years we've spotted so many fashion icons that come and go, but in the male row we kept those who are classy, sexy and elegant. Well, here's an exception. Kanye West brings out a new image for today's masculine figure by combining his own trends that go from all black tuxedo to hip hop style to geek-chic or vintage gentleman, all into a new and modern appeal.

If through the years the r'n'b and hip hop area didn't rise so much in the fashion world as rockstars or indie band boys did, now this side of the music seems to get more and more attention from the designers and press too. But not only Kanye West has made a major development in his style, other hip hop artists like Jay-Z, T.I., Kid Cudi or Pharell Williams had improved their appearances.

Kanye West has changed different styles in time and has also released new trends in men's fashion. At first he went for baggy hip hop style, then he changed it for futuristic techno influences, after that for geek-chic style but in all this time he kept a classical appearance that every man needs to show. For any important event, every man stands out in a tuxedo and with the right accessories you may as well be a style icon too.
