Kanye West's International Velvet Tour
Fashion month just wrapped up and with it, Kanye West’s attempts to take over the fashion industry go on the back burner (if only because there aren’t any places to photograph him every day anymore). Earlier this year, Kim Kardashian, his wife, excitedly tweeted about her new look for 2015, masterminded by Kanye. But what about the his own style? Well, it seems like Kanye has also been working on something different for himself this year. The main component? Velvet! Yes, that fabric of Hot Topic goth dresses and heavy antique curtains that has both seduced and repelled us is now aiming to make a comeback into the mainstream on the back of the multi-faceted rapper. It all started at the Grammy Awards when he wore a black velvet suit to walk the red carpet, switched into a wine velvet tracksuit for a solo performance, then changed into a different black velvet blazer to perform with Rihanna and Paul McCartney. It’s obvious he loves this fabric, as he wore it to pretty much every fashion week event this season. We dig it, honestly, velvet is very regal, and if anyone can bring it back, leave it to Yeezy. He is Yeezus after all.
