STORY BY MATTHEW BURT

Kanye West

With the recent release of his short film ‘Runaway’, I thought it would be appropriate for this weeks style icon to be Mr Kanye West. Widely regarded as a style icon by his fans and his peers, Kanye West’s film Runaway highlights his great sense of both visual art and fashion. With his well known collaboration with Louis Vuitton, his surprise internship during a musical sabbatical at Italian High Fashion House Fendi, and general love of fashion, Kanye West is the definition of a style icon. Whether you love him or hate him, you can still draw inspiration by the way he creatively and instinctively throws pieces together in order to create an individual look.

As we have seen from most of the style icons we have featured, they can afford luxury high fashion brands, but I will stand by my opinion that this doesn’t matter in your quest to achieve the style of the men in this series. High street brands, small independent quirky boutiques and vintage stores (my favourite) give you everything you need to re-create a particular look on a budget – or you can just take small pieces of inspiration from a particular icons look and integrate it into your own personal style.
