Kanye West has become one of the world's style icons. He is constantly making trips to various fashion events around the world and has become a mainstay at fashion weeks like New York Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week. King Yeezy has been rewarded for his diligence by being voted the Most Stylish Man of 2014 by the readers of men's fashion magazine GQ. West won ahead of rumored James Bond candidate Idris Elba.
GQ explained why it thought Yeezy's legions voted for West in this face-off against Elba:
"West has shifted the landscape of men's fashion with his forward-thinking style. 2014 was no different. From bomber jackets to Chelsea boots to over-sized coats, Kanye helped define what this year meant to men in terms of the things they wear."
West has uncharacteristically shared the spotlight with Kim Kardashian in one of the most high-profile relationships in the world. The pair have become fashion icons with their ability to break new trends and market their own brands of clothing.
Kanye has developed his own highly sought-after clothing line in A.P.C. that includes everything from a $90 — now only $63 — "Plain T-shirt," which is just a cotton white T-shirt, a $2,000 parka and $60 beanie. He also has listed pants, jackets and sweaters. His shoe line, Yeezy, is one of the hottest celebrity designer lines of shoes that have been sold in the past few years. The Yeezy 3 rumor mill has long been circulating about when the shoes will be released, with the latest estimate being this winter. Whenever they are released, expect lines to be long at stores and the prices to be high.
Kanye, the musician, is gearing up to release a new album sometime soon, one of our 15 most anticipated in 2015. He played it for 20 people at Paris Fashion Week, as well as Seth Rogen in a limo. No one knows expect West himself what the timeline is for the album, so we will just have to wait and see on that front.
