Style school





I wonder if Dr. West has a closet full of black three-piece suits, and scarves because he's been rocking this look for years. He's here with Malcolm Jamal Warner (Yes, Theo Huxtable), Kanye, Common, Tommy Davidson, President-elect Barack Obama over the years. Actually, he rocks this exact same look at every public function...and it looks great. I'm all for something formulaic. Dr. West has this mad scientist/sartorial splendor thing going on. His clothes fit well. His hair obeys no force. His hair was a little shorter and he wore a different tie on the cover of one of his books, Race Matters. Wear the same clothes everyday if you're saving the world by introducing theories, dispensing knowledge and inspiring people to think, which doesn't even come close to everything he's done. Here's to you Dr. I-wear-the-same-ensemble-everyday-because-I'm-brilliant-and-I-can West.
P.S. Who's this young Hollywood couple? Surely it didn't take a stylist to come up with this. It just took a look at Dr. West.
