"Musictoob serves up juicy tidbits from the music scene" - The Wall Street Journal
It’s official. The talents of hip hop wonderboy, Kanye West, have reached mythical proportions. Not only can he sing (sometimes), but now he is an international design guru/judge. That’s right. A source revealed exclusively to Musictoob that West is due to co-host Wallpaper* magazine’s 2009 Design Awards in fashionable Paris later this month. Wallpaper* – the international design, lifestyle and fashion bible – is today publishing its annual Design Awards issue, which is the biggest selling edition of the magazine. The winners will celebrate at a party in Paris on 22 January. Kanye is one of the panel of ‘esteemed judges’ who also include: Jean Nouvel, Ines de la Fressange, Marc Newson, Sir Ken Adam and Stefano Pilati. Categories include Best City (Paris); Best Women’s fashion collection (Yves Saint Laurent A/W 2008) and Best New Domestic Appliance (’Ciussai’ heater by G Di Tullio and S RagainiĀ and Hob and oven by Marc Newson for Smeg). Surely, this is about as sophisticated as Kanye could possibly get?
