UPDATE: Earlier today we posted some images from the long-rumored Pastelle by Kanye West collection. Although pieces have been seen worn by Kanye West during several public appearances (such as the 2008 AMA Awards), Pastelle will never be released. That’s right. We’ve received official word that Pastelle will not be coming out. Ever. That said, Kanye West will release a collection under his own name in the near future. Stay tuned.

Dazed & Confused sat down with Kanye West to talk about his upcoming Louis Vuitton collaboration footwear. Furthermore they talk about fashion, his upcoming Pastelle line and of course his always up to date blog.

Check out the interview here.

Many of you have been waiting to finally get an idea of when Kanye West’s brand Pastelle will be releasing first product. Today he informs us that first pieces of the collection will be released online in January. The first drop includes the jacket from the AMA’s, the hoodie that he was wearing at the Dior fashion show earlier this year and the jacket that you see here above.

Furthermore he gives us information on his upcoming sneaker releases. The much hyped Air Yeezy will be released in March 2009 and Kanye also seems to be working with Louis Vuitton on a sneaker collaboration. More on that as soon as we have more information!

Pastelle, Kanye West’s clothing line, has still not launched, but every once in a while some pieces pop up. Tonight at the American Music Awards 2008, Kanye West was wearing a Pastelle varsity jacket. Pastelle is both featured on the chest and on the back of the jacket.

Take a more detailed look at the Pastelle varsity jacket after the jump.

The Pastelle (Kanye West’s upcoming brand) website has been update. Gone is the playful multicolor logo that we saw before and more subtle set of icons have replaced it and the pastelle.com site now forwards to pasttellmuseum.com. The same transition in style that we see recently on Kanye West and in his music, seems to be happening to the unreleased brand. Is this the actual Pastelle logo? Has the brand name changed to “Past.Tell.Museum”? We don’t know, but will definitely keep you posted.

With impatience many are waiting to see the first collection of Kanye Wests upcoming clothing line, Pastelle. Now word got out that Ksubi from Australia, will be working on a sunglass collection for Pastelle.
“The 10-time Grammy winner will launch Ksubi for Pastelle globally in October. The range, designed by George Gorrow, will feature limited-edition gold frames, which will sell for about $2000. Japanese buyers have already placed orders, sight unseen.

West first worked with Gorrow and his business partner Dan Single in 2006 to create stage eyewear for West’s music video clips.” Via SMH/Nitrolicious.
Something to be looking out for! One thing is for sure, Kanye West knows exactly who to work with and only goes for the best.

Here the latest from Estate LA, the quilted caps. They come featuring the 3D Estate LA embroidery on the front and in a line-up of three colorways. The pastelle colorways are perfect for this time of the year. The caps are getting into stores right now!
