Kanye West’s Pasttell clothing line makes an appearence, yet still nowhere in sight

Article, Fashion, Images, Style, , , ,

So here’s a long story made short.

Rapper Kanye West first introduced his concept clothing line called Pastelle in Spring 2006.  Over three years later, we still do not have any definitive information about it.  Although it appears Kanye has worn nunmerous peices from what is now called the Past-Tell line, not a single article of clothing or accessories have been released yet.  According to its Wikipedia page, Kanye has made it known that “The first Pastelle Clothing store will open up late 2009 in Chicago — followed by the New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco launch.”  The website Past.Tell.Museum has been idle ever since its creation.

Today the blog The Black Nouveau has “sourced” three photos of what may be future Pasttell jackets and shirts.  As the official announcement of the clothing line keeps getting pushed year after year, I’m skeptical if Pasttell will ever become a reality.  Now, though, with Kanye taking a break from touring, maybe he will find some time to fulfill the promise he made three years ago.

kate beckinsale as the sexiest woman alive on the cover of esquire

In what is a surprise turn of events, Esquire has decided to name the beautiful Kate Beckinsale this year’s Sexist Woman Alive.  After filming and shooting Megan Fox with a 3K RED One camera for a photoshoot last May, director Greg Williams hinted at using an upgraded 5k Red Epic camera to shoot the Sexiest Woman Alive.  This hint misled me to believe that Megan Fox would be shot again, this time for the special shoot.  Today Esquire has released the photoshoot video, directed by Greg Williams, of actress Kate Beckinsale.  And damn does she look good in super-HD.  The 5K RED Epic camera allows the photographer to shoot video in high definition and then choose specific frames to print for the magazine cover and story.  Congratuations, Beckinsale.  We all look forward to picking up the Sexiest Woman Alive edition of Esquire this November.

The mojito shoe looks uncomfortable by design

Fashion, Images, Style, , , ,

The mojito shoe is designed by London architect Julian Hakes. 

Hakes: “The material choice is simple: The shoe is a laminate with Carbon fibre for the core which gives the shoe its spring and strength, leather on the foot side and rubber on the walking wearing side. 3 materials, each doing a specific job.”

See more images of this fashionably unique yet somewhat disturbingly uncomfortable shoe in the gallery below.

Special edition Nike Air Yeezys auctioned for a combined total of $23,900

Fashion, Images, Style, , , , , , , , ,

Nike auctioned two special edition Air Yeezy sneakers.  Each of them are one-of-a-kind and were only made available for the sole purpose of the auction.

“One pair features a black leather upper and Jordan VI bottom, the first and only time the shoe will be made available with a Jumpman logo, and the other pair is THE Air Yeezy that Kanye worn on The 50th Annual Grammy Awards.”  As cool as these kicks are I cannot see anyone getting tooexcited about wanting to get a sneaker Kanye West wore at an awards show.  (Tee-hee…)

However, it’s for a good cause, and they are certainly nice pairs of sneakers that come in equally nice boxes.  The auctions ended last night.  The Jordan VI-inspired pair sold for $7,400 and the West-worn pair sold for $16,500.  DAMN!  All proceeds went to the Doernbecher Children’s Hospital that’s located in Portland, Oregon. 

See the gallery below for more images of the sneaker, a peek at the box, and the winning eBay pages.

Esquire’s Sexiest Woman Alive 2009 tease

Fashion, Hot Stuff, Images, Technology, Video, , , , , ,

Oh, there’s nothing to doubt here. IT’S MEGAN FOX.

Remember that video I posted a while back? Yeah, that one. Esquire shot Megan Fox’s cover shoot with a RED One video camera rather than a digital camera. This allows for extreme detail and produces amazing results for stills. Photographer Greg Williams is shooting the sequel with “the first-ever Red One camera outfitted with the Epic 5K Mysterium-X Sensor.” And if you thought the first video/photo shot was blazing hot, you haven’t seen anything yet. This upgraded RED One camera shoots at four-times HD!

For now, peek at the gallery below for two exclusive stills from the photo shoot. Check back here for the full video and Esquire‘s official announcement of Sexiest Woman Alive this October. Chyeah!

Lady Gaga at the VMAs invokes nightmares

Fashion, Images, Television, , , , , , ,

Sweet baby Jesus.  I totally respect Lady Gaga’s fashion style and how she is trying to push the envelope when it comes to fashion sense.  But I’m sorry–this is fashion non-sense.  I thought her bloody performance of “Paparazzi” was good, and her outfit for that was fitting.  However, each wardrobe change during the course of the show was horrifying.  When she accepted her Moon Man award wearing that red dress and started talking with her face covered up I knew I would have nightmares that evening.  Thankfully she removed the face mask and revealed herself halfway through her speech.  Check out the gallery below for more of Gaga’s wardrobe malfunctions.  The last dress in particular, the one that featured the white wreath/porcupine around her head, was just slightly less scary but equally as strange.
