Kanye West Heads to London to Pursue Fashion

According to UK sources, Chicago rapper Kanye West plans to move to London next year to launch his clothing line, Pastelle, and intern at major fashion house like Louis Vuitton. Now I'm not sure how true this is but it's pretty interesting. Apparently, Kanye is so serious about it that even if he has to serve tea, he wants to get in at a major fashion house to learn the business of fashion.

I've checked his blog and he hasn't mentioned anything of the sort but I'm staying tuned to see what happens. I'm really interested to see what Pastelle is about. He's always present at all the European fashion weeks and shows and is thoroughly passionate about fashion.

Stay tuned.

Britney's Back At #1

Britney Spears' new album, Circus will debut at #1 selling over 505,000 copies in its first week.

I'm excited. I was was rooting for Britney the whole time. Now I didn't get the album myself, but it seems to me she did just fine without my purchase. Now, she's no Lil Wayne (who sold over a million copies earlier this year) but she did beat Beyonce's I Am...Sasha Fierce first week sales.

Good for her...I hope that this is just the start of great things for Brit.

Forever 21 to Open 100,000 Square Foot Store

Popular retailer, Forever 21, plans to open a 100,000 sq. ft. store in Times Square sometime next year.

I absolutely love this store! And I don't care what's going on, I will be at the opening. Seriously, this place is going to be like a shopping mecca. The store in SoHo is incredible at 21,000 sq. ft. I even thought the new location in Perimeter Mall here in Atlanta was impressive so I kid you not when I say this place is going to overwhelm me.

This is huge and impressive, especially with the way things are going in the economy. But no fears for XXI. The company brought in over $1.3 billion in sales last years and plan to beat that number with $1.8 billion sales in 2008 overall.

Viva La XXI!
