Otis- Jay-Z, Kanye West, The Throne

If there’s one thing about me you should know, it’s that I love Kanye.  I think his style of pretentiousness is endearing, he’s immensely creative, he also isn’t afraid to be himself and I appreciate that, not to mention he is the mind behind the greatest Twitter account ever created. So with that said, I have been wanting to do a Kanye video since I began this blog.  He’s perfect for it! He makes music videos and he loves high fashion.  He’s not a hoe but who cares.

So since Kanye apparently abandoned his last album to work with Jay-Z on Watch The Throne and I didn’t want to post about a video that’s really old news, it only made sense to do a Throne video and that lucky one…well the only one is Otis.

Let me start off by saying, Givenchy+Kanye=I DIE.  When I heard Riccardo Tisci was going to be creative director, I knew this was going to be pretty epic. And it was. From the album cover…

To this alternate cover…

To their tour outfits…

To this in the Otis video…

I was in heaven.

Not only was the Givenchy great, the video itself was great.  Not much else in fashion going on but it was refreshing to see a hip-hop video of not just two guys, but the biggest rappers in the game just having fun, driving around with models. You can always count on these two for a great video.
