Beyonce's "I AM" Tour Costumes Revealed

Beyonce kicked off her " I AM" world tour yesterday in Canada, Wearing one of a kind pieces by legendary Designer Thierry Mugler (whom Beyonce personally chose as Creative adviser for the tour).  

Sasha Fierce is another aspect of Beyonce’s personality,” Thierry Mugler, the man who designs Beyonce’s costumes says to WWD (Womens Wear Daily). “She is Fierce on stage and Beyonce in real life. I tried to understand these two sides with my own perception of both aspects....”

“There will be a lot of dramatization and metamorphosis on stage,” he states further. “Feminine. Free. Warrior. Fierce.  As a creative adviser for this tour, it is my responsibility to make her vision come true.”

 The designs show the duality of Beyonce between being a woman and a warrior.

So Amazin'

Wearing Yves Saint Laurent sunglasses and  his own  Nike Air Yeezy's (launching this summer) , Kanye West goes digital for his photoshoot in the April issue of Complex magazine. Check out some of Ye's  futuristic pics shot by Director/Photographer Chris Milk .  Sicccckkkk!





Some of the interview, Where Kanye discusses his sneaker line and Celeb life in true Kanye fashion ;0)

You’re driving us through L.A. with no driver or bodyguard—
Kanye West: Yeah. I’m rich and I’m famous, but I try not to be extra with it.


Did you consider how a recession might affect the reception of the “Martin Louis King” video you made in Paris?

Kanye West: People tune into me for escapism. When you went to the Glow in the Dark Tour, you were literally transported to another planet. I know there’s anti-rich sentiment right now, with corporate people not using their jets and Obama saying heads of banks can’t make more than $500,000, but I really feel like that tape embodied me and what Louis Vuitton is about. I’d like to think I give optimism to people when I stunt. When I have a pink watch on or tight jeans on, people talk shit about me, but if I wore all gray and black, who would be the one to wear all the bright colors? How depressing would it be if I was always depressed, or should I say, the press. I’m here to entertain people and to be the one that does the crazy, bold stuff so they can live through me and get their mind off the recession and the war and whatever else is going on in the world.


What does the brand Kanye West mean?

Kanye West: Pop but Luxury. Edgy but Comfortable. I’m about clashing worlds that you think don’t belong together. This is our world and everything belongs together. That’s the ill thing about our president. Our president is black, but our president is white, too. And the original struggle of America is racism, and to have someone in office that represents both of those sides is what I think this world is about. Segregation and snobbery and elitism should be the wack words. That should be what people use to dis people.

Your fashion endeavors have been much more exclusive and expensive than your music. Does your brand translate equally to both mediums? Do they have the same audiences?

Kanye West: It’s a similar goal. But I feel like when I do my own line it’s not going to be anywhere near as mass as I am to start off with, because it’s impossible to start off there and be credible. I have to start small not only to gain respect but to have time to learn and get better. I have to do some things that affect the world or affect culture, like I did with music. In fashion, trends are set on a high level, so I need to do stuff that hits the runway; like with the Louis shoe and its reverse tongue, that could set a trend that you’ll see on other shoes.

West Side Story Revisited

In honor of the cult classic movie "West Side Story" coming to Broadway. Vanity Fair magazine has recreated infamous scenes from the movie with the help of Latina Singer/Dancer/Actress Jennifer Lopez!


Jennifer Lopez as Anita originally played by Rita Morena


The Dress Shop
Bernardo (Rodrigo Santoro), is focused on his girlfriend, Anita (Jennifer Lopez), whose far-off gaze suggests she dreams of moving beyond the confines of the seamstress's life. Bernardo's little sister-the
heroine of the film's Romeo-and-Juliet drama-is Maria, here brought back to life by Camilla Belle.


The Dance, where Tony (Ben Barnes) and Maria (Camilla Belle) first meet


The Rooftop 
Before West Side Story takes its tragic turn, Anita (Jennifer Lopez, amazing in purple) drives the film's most fabulous, energy charged scene: the rocking rooftop song-and-dance sequence set to "America."
