KANYE WEST IS DEEPLY ABSORBED IN DESIGN RIGHT NOW


Kanye West's fashion line PasTelle could go up for sale on the Internet at any moment. Any delays in launching are only because he is almost insanely aware of his responsibility to offer only the best. As it stands, Kanye has — after working on the project for more than a year — only created four pieces as part of his line. They include three articles of clothing. And a belt. All of which Kanye wore to the shows in February and March.

He's been so absorbed in fashion as of late, he even cleared his schedule for an entire five months, starting back in February, to work only on clothing design, including the range of sneakers he designed for Louis Vuitton. This is not simply a case of Kanye attaching his name to a product, but a return to his childhood passion. Lil' Kanye, you see, loved to draw shoes. "Nobody — not even girls — loved clothes as much as me," West says. "And even now, the girls I go out with, I take them to the Pierre Hardy store and say, 'Why don't you wear these instead of Vans?'" Kanye won't even tour until the summer, so he can continue perfecting his garments and perhaps soon end the world's torturous yearning to wear them at last.
