Kanye West Wants His Own Topshop Collection
In case you don’t know what Topshop is, imagine a combination of H&M, Target and Macy’s, place it in the UK and then make it better than all the stores I just described.

So that’s that, and Kanye West wants to launch his own collection within the store, because in case you also forgot, Kanye West is a "designer."

The show taped last night and featured VS angels like Miranda Kerr, Chanel Iman, Alessandra Amborsio, Adriana Lima, Candice Swanepoel, and Erin Heatherston to name a few.

Clad in VS lingerie and giant appendages like wings and tails, the models walked the runway at the 2011 show in NYC last night. The show itself will air on CBS on November 29, 2011, but here’s all the details and spoiler alerts:

Kanye West Debuts His First Fashion Line, Gets Mixed Reviews
After all the hype and rumors, Kanye West debuted his first fashion show at Paris Fashion Week this weekend and it was met with mixed reviews.

The new line, dubbed KW by Kanye West debuted it's Ready to Wear Spring/Summer 2012 collection and Kanye wants you to know that he isn't just a "celebrity designer." This isn't Sofia Vergara for K-Mart, this isn't Madonna for Macy's, Kanye West is a full-fledged designer says Kanye West.

He revealed, "I'm so scared. I'm so nervous," which can go down in history as the first time Kanye West isn't obsessively confident about something.

"The biggest conversation I hope I can end tonight is the whole 'celebrity designer' thing. That's the biggest hurdle when you want to get amazing people to work for you," says Kanye.
Riccardo Tisci Gets Rave Reviews for Givenchy Spring/Summer 2012 Collection
The Givenchy spring/summer 2012 runway show during Paris fashion week was a star-studded affair. And I’m not even talking about the front row. The runway was full of big named supermodels such as Gisele Bundchen, Natalia Vodianova and Karolina Kurkova.

The collection was split into 3 color schemes. The black, the salmon pink and the sparkly grey.

Designer Riccardo Tisci said that he was inspired by surfers and mermaids for this collection, which explains the really tight pants. The pants were so tight that they could have actually been wetsuits.

What was great about the collection was that it was very wearable. Sometimes you see things on the runway that look good only on the runway as a piece of art, but you can never see yourself wearing on a day-to-day basis. This collection however was not like that. Who doesn’t like to wear tight pants and hot jackets?

Karl Lagerfeld and Snoop Dogg to Star in a Rap Video Together
File this under "weirdest fashion collaborations ever," Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld is appearing a rap music video with Snoop Dogg. No, Snoop isn't teaching Lagerfeld how to blow smoke rings or "drop it like it's hot."

Women's Wear Daily reports that Lagerfeld made an early morning appearance at the San Tropez cafe Senequier to film a bit for the music video of a French recording artist Jean-Roch Pedri. Jean-Roch recorded the song with Snoop Dogg, who also appears in the video. The song is called "St-Tropez" and Lagerfeld appears in the video wearing head-to-toe white, because that is his "weekend" outfit.

Kanye West is not afraid to take fashion risks, he wore a women’s Celine blouse when he performed at Coachella and was not sorry ‘bout it.

Now, the well dressed rapper is going to launch his own label that he hopes to debut at New York Fashion Week this fall.  

He’s paired up with London designer Louise Goldin on the ready-to-wear label and already had a studio in both London and New York.

Kanye West: Dude Dresses Like a Lady
Now we know why Kanye West is always seen at fashion shows. He digs chick’s clothes! You can technically call him a cross-dresser, but that might be pushing it.

Kanye took the stage Sunday night at the Coachella Music and Arts Festival wearing a Celine Spring 2011 printed shirt.

2011 Coachella Parties

This isn’t the first time Kanye has been seen in clothes that have also been worn by women. Last month he was wearing a Rottweiler shirt also worn by Liv Tyler at the Givenchy runway show. To Kanye’s defense, that shirt looked more suitable on him.

Aside from taking a liking to women’s clothes, Kanye gave one heck of a performance closing the Coachella Music & Arts Festival.

You can see his performance below:

Mr. West is NOT in the building!

Kanye West keeps getting his ego shot while in Paris for fashion week. He was turned away from the Balmain show when he showed up without an invitation.

Actually he tried to get an invitation and was denied so he thought being a fashion show crasher would be cool. That plan clearly backfired because they turned him away. No one messes with the French because they obviously don’t care who you are and what you do!

And this is just not a rumor someone made up! The PR firm that produced the show confirmed saying, "Mr. West requested to attend [Balmain] and we let him know we would not be able to accommodate him. He chose to come to the door anyway and we kindly let him know we could not accommodate him."

Ouch! How dare them? Don’t they know Kanye is the greatest human being to live on this planet? You must respect him!

The funny thing is that they denied him from McQueen, but he was successful in sneaking into that show. Gosh, now I don’t feel like such a big loser for sneaking in to fashion shows. If Kanye West could do it, so can I.

The bright side to this entire story is that he did manage to get into a bunch of other shows. Below are photos of Kanye wearing some fierce outfits at the shows.

Karl Lagerfeld showed of his collection to a celeb packed crowd as always.

Celebs like Lily Allen, Kanye West, Alexa Chung, and Florence Welch were all front row for Karl's black themed show.

"The world is a dark place," said Lagerfeld after the Chanel show.

The setting of the show was very dark and dramatic and so was the collection. There were a lot of black and bulky pieces along with a touch of masculinity.

What do you guys think of the collection? Fabulous as always!
