Kanye West’s Vuitton Kicks

PARIS — Marc Jacobs and the Louis Vuitton men’s studio director Paul Helbers have some design competition this season. Kanye West, who was sitting front row at the Vuitton show, has designed a line of five LV sneakers. Only one design, above, was featured in the show — a monochromatic midtop with no frills, save for a quilted flap in the back, all the easier to tuck pants into. “The inspiration came from a jacket with a huge collar in the movie ‘Dune,’ ” West says. “Most sneakers focus on the tongue, so I wanted to do something different.” West knows whereof he speaks: he says he has no idea how many shoes he owns, but he does know that he routinely needs to send shipments off to storage. The LV-meets-Kanye kicks will be available at Louis Vuitton stores in June.

Alexander McQueen for Target

Oh Lord!! I want them all! A studded leather vest $129. The detailing on a studded denim grey jacket it’s insane, the sharp lapels, the rouched sleeves—are unquestionably McQueen. And a sleeveless black harness dress is so lustrous, totally futuristic McQueen piece

Pay attention McQueen pieces are hitting the stores March 1st.

Thank you Refinery 29
