Dark Fantasy

By


Yeezy commissioned a line of scarves in collaboration with French design partnership M/M (Paris).M/M (Paris) is an art and design partnership consisting of Mathias Augustyniak ,and Michael Amzalag established in Paris in 1992.M/M are best known for their art direction and collaborations with musicians (Björk, Madonna, Benjamin Biolay, Etienne Daho, Jean-Louis Murat, Mew); fashion designers (Nicolas Ghesquière, Yohji Yamamoto, Jil Sander, Calvin Klein, Stella McCartney, Riccardo Tisci); magazines (Les Inrockuptibles, Vogue Paris, Purple Fashion); contemporary artists (Pierre Huyghe, Philippe Parreno, Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin, Liam Gillick, Sarah Morris).

















I have followed his style since the Louie backpacks that I had my mom go get which I no longer where, so its only right that I make an attempt and coping one of these scarves( I spent 300 bucks on this just to be like nigga you aint up on this)The five limited-edition designs, on sale from Monday, are based on paintings made for the cover of Kanye's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy album.
Artist George Condo's original work for the album cover, which featured a nude portrait of the artist with a female beast on top of him, was allegedly banned from stores last autumn for being too racy.

Kanye decided to print the image in silk, along with four other design commissions based on his musical fantasies, he named them Power, Phoenix, Face, Priest and Ballerina, and each is set in a frame of gold lettering created by the M/M (Paris) team.














Only 100 of each scarf will be made, and will be sold exclusively through M/M (Paris)’s website, and at French boutique Colette for 250€ ($364). A press release announcing the collaboration explains how Kanye asked M/M (Paris) to design the album packaging for the record last autumn.

" 'During the creative process, M/M (Paris) created a series of hand drawn ornamented frames to adorn the Condo paintings.'The design team decided to use the most striking combinations of the paintings and the frames, and transform them into silk scarves.'" He unveiled the design via Twitter a month before the album was released, writing: 'Yoooo they banned my album cover!!!!! Banned in the USA!!! They don't want me chilling on the couch with my phoenix!'"

Referring to the cover of Nirvana's 1991 album Nevermind, which famously featured an image of a naked baby swimming, he continued: 'So Nirvana can have a naked human being on their cover, but I can't have a PAINTING of a monster with no arms and a polka dot tail and wings.'

Drew Vision Talks “Date Beyond” & “Big Little Lies” for VDay 2025

First and foremost thank you!!!! Now I’m not sure if you are familiar with Comospolitan magazine, well this setup for V-day is that from a guy’s perspective I love that you decided to bring up dating and relationships because as guys, we never really have the forum to really express that. With that being said what is your ideal first date and why….     Yeah, men can never express! And we’re expected not to have feelings so for most of my life, I didn’t, but I’ve been tapped in lately. For a first date I think it should be something very casual because the stakes shouldn’t be high. My ideal first date is something in nature like a scenic walk or a picnic. The reason is because nobody should be spending money on someone you don’t know and also it shouldn’t be somewhere loud because I think the conversation is the most important thing.  Is it ok to ask what your dating situation is like gender wise, and how do you really know if you’re attracted to that person or is it just ...

She has it all from the girl next door appeal, to extreme sex appeal. I first took notice of her when I saw the Jamie Foxx ft Drake "Fall For Your Type" video and to be honest I had to take a sceond glance because I really thought that she was JLO. It wasnt until recently when I actually found out who this stunning beauty is who looks like she could be Jennifer Lopez's little sister. Jessica Burciaga (born April 11, 1983) is an American model .
