"Downtown Mixing Fabrics tryna find the magic" Wk8

In September 2005 Kanye West first announced what was the beginning of his venture into the fashion world. A line called Pastelle Clothing was his first go at officially designing. The complications are unknown but the line was cancelled in 2009 but this was the start of a wild ride for Kanye. He then began teaming up with many different designers through the years; Nike, Bape, Louis Vuitton, and Giuseppe Zanotti. West has even had some success with the, I guess you could say redo, of his lines. Although Kanye always seems to discuss the lack of support he receives from the high end fashion world. Many people look at him as being egotistical and narsassistic  but i simply believe the he just wants to achieve greatness and go down in history. It seems to me as if he doesn't want to be known as a rapper who has a line but a true designer, which in a recent interview with Kanye i learned that he actually attended design school. He is qualified and shows dedication as well as a true passion for the art but is simply not well received or maybe well respected in the way he wants to be in the fashion world. 


Here are a couple looks from one of Kanye's shows:
