KANYE WEST HITS UP COLETTE

With the women’s collections underway in Paris, the fashion faithful have flocked to the city. Any visit to Paris must include a visit to the internationally chic boutique Colette (sidebar-we’re talking to you Lissette! You know who you are!).

This week The Moment caught up with Kanye West as he hit the store up while on vacation for the shows and got the deal on his outfit.

The Moment: “Kanye, what are you wearing now?”

Kanye West: “Y-3 sweater, Gap T-shirt, Dior belt (from back when Hedi was there), this [chain] is Verbal, he’s the designer, and the watch is Audemars Piguet. It’s engraved on the back, on the watch’s weight. [Removes watch to show initials K and A.] Me and my girl [Alexis Phifer, also at Colette] got matching watches. My glasses are Tom Ford — see, they say so? — and these down here [sneakers] are Adidas.”

Kanye also talked a bit about the crazy L.E.D. light-up jacket he wore for his Grammy performance a few weeks back.

K.W.: “I designed it together with my stylist. I took a shape that I liked — I can’t say who made it, but I liked it, it had a kick in the back. Under my jacket I wore a Hedi hoodie. So we put on LED lights — there were LED lights on my jacket, on the sunglasses and my scarf. I had on a pair of Nikes too, but I can’t talk about those because they’re not out yet. The lights in the jacket were powered by battery.”
