Giuseppe Zanotti Creates ‘Cruel Summer’ Shoe for Kanye West (@KanyeWest)

It only seems as if without Theophilus London’s help, us Americans wouldn’t know much of anything about this…we’re too focused on this sextape revelations. From High Snobiety:

It looks like Giuseppe Zanotti has designed yet another masterpiece for Kanye West, this one to coincide with the launch of G.O.O.D. Music‘s Cruel Summer. The porcelain wreath/Grecian statue elements compliment the albums artwork extremely well.

These were spotted by Theophilus London while in attendance at Milan Fashion Week. This is Mr. West’s second collaboration with Giuseppe Zanotti, the first debuted at Paris Fashion Week Spring 2012.

An excerpt from the interview:

Do you have any code you live by?
I read from the Bible every day, and I read my Daily Word. I read something great yesterday. It said, “Don’t aspire to make a living. Aspire to make a difference.”

Is there an actor who has influenced you?
There’s a scene in The Godfather II. De Niro’s in a theater. And he’s looking back. It’s just a look. I don’t think I’ve ever imitated another actor, but there’s nothing wrong with learning from them.

2011 MTV VMA Best & Worst Fashion Recap (@MTV)

As we gear up for tonight’s 2012 Video Music Awards I wanted to flashback at the best & worst dressed from last year. Will some of these individuals be repeat offenders in the worst-dressed category or redeem themselves? Or vice versa, will some of the fashionable ones get on the dreaded ‘Worst-Dressed List’?

Tonight the VMA’s will go live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles at 8pm ET/PT on MTV. This year funnyman Kevin Hart will host the awards and he will no doubt have the audience laughing all night. Check out Kevin’s look from last year (below). I can not wait to see what he will wear tonight. I hope that he takes the dapper route and rocks a fitted suit.

Do you think Kevin belonged on the Best or Worst Dressed list? He wears this look often high-top sneakers, jeans, t-shirt and either a blazer or jacket.

Kelly sexed it up for the VMA’s last year and wore a Falguni & Shane Peacock black and gold embroidered dress with a plunging neckline. The dress had feathered and leather detailing and she paired it with spiked peep-toe Christian Louboutin pumps.

Miley looked stunning in a floor-sweeping Roberto Cavalli gown. This design combined the designer’s signature tiger stripes with faded Japanese flower print. Her hair and jewelry were soft and elegant.

Pitbull looks dapper in his all-black look I’m not even too mad at unbuttoned shirt due to the event. Now his date is another story and I won’t comment.

Nicki Minaj looked beyond crazy in this cartoonish outfit. The mask, no shoes, the doll and the hair make her look like someone that is moments from going to the asylum. What is crazy is that some of her ‘Barbz” probably loved it and said she is expressing herself…I THINK NOT!

Tyga looks like P-I-M-P in this vibrant print shirt, gold chain and smoking slippers. I don’t care who designed it–stop wearing things because of the label and think about the style. Sorry Young Money your were losing in the fashion game this night.

Kreayshawn looked a mess in this Minnie Mouse-inspired sequined number. To top of the look off she wore two-toned hair and red Nike sneakers. This is not original its tacky.

I hate to put Busta on this list but I am tired of him wearing these extra tight vest, tanks and shirts.

HONORABLE MENTION: CLOSE BUT NO CIGAR

Ne-Yo could have made the Best Dressed List but he choose those shoes and there is something that I can’t quite put my finger on about this look. I do like the the tonal pairing of the shirt and sweater also he knows how to wear a hat. Sorry Ne-Yo but I hope you step your game up this year.

Floss or Toss: Stiletto Nails

Pointy Daggers. Are stiletto nails sexy? Are these functional? The nail art is artistic but how many women with men are rocking these pointy nails. I’m all for fashion statement but I need functionality, so I rock a less pointy and shorter option.
