All types of shyte are jumping off during Fashion Week. Kanye West has just unveiled a new couture venture:

Like Jay-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs before him, Kanye West is looking to expand his hip-hop empire to include fashion. But leave it to Kanye to do it in a big way. The rapper revealed that he’s signed on to design a line of men’s shoes for Louis Vuitton. He’s also working on his own signature line of womens wear (not Vuitton), which is set to launch in the fall. Kanye’s had a good relationship with the luxe French brand. Back in June, he performed at the opening of Takashi Murakami’s lastest show, which included special Louis Vuitton bags. “I grew up with the Louis look, you know,” he told the Guardian paper at last week’s Vuitton runway show in Paris. “I just love the style.”

Louis Vuitton eh? Classy indeed. Kanye’s got interesting taste, we’re curious to see how these kicks turn out.

    Kanye West is spreading his wings!

    The performer extraoridinaire has been in Paris the last few days for the couture shows and has revealed to Women’s Wear Daily that he’s teaming up with Louis Vuitton to do a shoe line.

    Kanye doesn’t mess around.

    He’ll only work with the best!

    Can’t wait to see what the design house and rapper come up with.

    And, will they be making shoes for poor people too?????

    Don’t be elitists!

  • DA TRUFF HURTZ!!!

    BETTER THAN SAGGIN’ JEANS & WHITE TEE’S!!!!!!!

  • DeLaRoCkA

    Seriously?

    DMX was arrested again today in Arizona. He showed up for a court hearing, but had a bench warrant out for his arrest, so they busted him. Threepeat!

    X was busted June 27 after he allegedly tried to buy drugs from an undercover officer. He was also busted on June 23, May 9 and May 7.

  • DeLaRoCkA

    yea !! i use to love dmx a lot

    i think he has good voice for rap music

    i never thought he would get to this point in his life

  • bree

  • 6 Figgaz

    Definitely not the news I was hoping for bree… Actually, I’m f*cking devastated. Can we do a rewind? You gotta give me another shot…

  • K-ten

    i dont like kanye, but i do congradulate him on making it big with the clothing industry with Vuitton. now they see blacks have come back strong in fashion, they want more of our business.

  • Jahpson

    I love Kanye’s style and I love Louis Vuitton.

    If only my man would allow me to get some shoes for him, I would so get a pair of whatever funky design he has yet to release!!

    My baby says that buying your significant other shoes allows them to walk out of their life.

  • bree

    6 Figgaz

    LOL! you snooze you lose boo!..j/k..lol..i will put it back up tomorrow..idk if it will work from my work computer..check tomorrow

  • bree

    Jahpson

    yes..so when you buy the shoes make sure you point them towards the bed and not the door..you know when shoes are on the floor? if they face the door he will keep walking out, but if they face the bed he will always come home..

  • Nat Turna (MR. 704)

    I applaud Kanye for not being afraid to be different.

    but as a hetrosexual man i cant help but think he looks a lil fruity! just my opinion

  • I’m Just Me

    @ Bree

    Exactly ain’t nothing wrong with buying the shoes….it’s which way you point them.

  • Jahpson

    @ bree

    wow, didnt know that!! thanks!

  • bree

    you’re welcome Jahpson

  • GO GETTA

    LOUIE, LOUIE, LOUIE!!! MY LOUIE BAG IS A HOT JOINT. couldn’t resist that one.

  • CJ

    Kanye will have a hard time marketing this to the urban market. His white fanbase wont support black clothing. He is gonna have to mix the style up not hood not to preppy. Moderation and every one will be on it.

  • Dark&Lovely

    Kanye has a very hott sense of style, so i know whatever he designs it’ll be worth buying. Love U Kanye

  • nat

    again – yall need to proof read this mess before you hit publish. what’s with all the friggin errors lately? it’s tacky.

  • Encyclopedia Brown

    who cares about the louis v’s…when do the air yeezy’s come out?

  • mariama

    Someone mentioned that you met your woman on the famous free interracial people seeking beautiful women site interacialchatting.com.. ? True or not??

  • FattDoll

    I thought he would have a new line of relaxers for nappy chest hair…..

    Kanye is great as an artist..but sucks as a person..you’ll know Amy Winehouse was rite….she may be a crazy coke head…but she’s rite about Kanye!

  • sweet_lies

    why do people support this shameful wackness? kanye makes my skin crawl and if you had any taste or self-respect you would too. he’s playing you all…

  • statim08

    He going to be the only one sporting that look.

  • http://www.casualpal.com just4FUN

    ARE YOU SEEKING FOR FUN ONLINE???

  • Royal Chocolate

    ….he is so fugly in the face. It’s like his head is small up top and big/round at the bottom.

  • Lil’ Kevin Mayne

    ouch

  • HomoMafia

    Keep doing your thing KanYe. Most people are mad because they won’t be able to afford it. LOL! All you people complaining about his dress sense clearly you haven’t left the shores of the states, I’m in London right now and it’s all the rage. So stick to your baggy pants, baggy tees and uncouth appearance!

  • victory

    Is it wrong for a man like him to have sugar baby?? you know it is an

    absolutely extramarital relationship, but more and more services c ome

    out on Internet focusing on this kind of relationship..like ^^^ukblackfriends. c o m .. what will the world be??
