The Louie Vuitton Don/Mr. Rosewood himself Kanye West.
On Monday night the 14th annual ACE awards were held In New York at Cipriani restaurant on 42nd St. And Kanye was awarded the Stylemarker of the year award by the Accessories Council.
Mr. West stepped out looking mighty dapper in a finely tailored suit. I can only imagine this is another one of his Dior Homme suits but I am not for certain. (Gotta love a man in a suit no matter what the tag says )
The Stylemaker award is giving to the person who has "personal style and influence on fashion". And that is Kanye to the "T".
Kanye had this to say in his acceptance speech:
West concluded his speech with a very humble "Thank you for this moment of acceptance.""When they make a list of 100 New Yorkers, and I'm not on it, it breaks my heart." And "I thank Marc Jacobs so much for giving me the oppurtunity to design a shoe for Louis Vuitton, but the thing that broke my heart most was when they said, 'You're finished. The shoe's finished.' When it was ready it was like the dream of putting together the fabric and having the energy that I knew of being a street kid, of being a boy out of Chicago, and enjoying every day and the way I can connect with this. It's like, 'you can't play that video game anymore.'"
Tell them why you mad Ye!
