No matter how many times we collaborate with him, we can always count on Kanye to come with a completely original idea when it’s time do a cover story. And as you probably guessed from the preview he posted on his blog back in January, we’ve got something really special planned for our April/May 2009 issue.

The magazine officially hits stands on April 7, but you can check out the full story now, along with the futuristic photo shoot, co-created with photographer/director Chris Milk. How did we make the hi-tech computer generated imagery? Watch the video below to see the whole process…

Buy-Tees.net is an online fashion magazine featuring t-shirt reviews and news. Buy-Tees.net has featured our new “Know Your Destination” theme now available at the Envee Apparel Store.

They say that the grass is always greener on the other side, who knows, I only have a small decked terrace with a few potted plants, but I’m guessing the idea that you can always aim higher rings true with many of us. The idea of a better life, a greater existence, a final destination is a concurrent theme throughout Envee Apparel’s line of top quality designer t-shirts. I’ve just received a very enthusiastic email from Robert Hartland to take a look around their rather innovative fashion store and blog, and overall I’m impressed.

Cottonable is a blog of T-shirt designs, trends and ideas delivered in fashionable way. It searches inspirations from the undiscovered, indie fashion scene but not shy away from mainstream influences. Cottonable has featured our new “Know Your Destination” theme now available at the Envee Apparel Store.

The new collection brings up about choice made by us as individual; the path to our destination, be it the high road or the low road. So, that’s pretty thoughtful, ya? For instance, High road represented by Guardian Angel T’s (among other tees), while low road chosen by Envee Skull tee.

Kanye West unveiled on his blog some of the samples of the shoes that he has collaborated with Louis Vuitton on and they are simplistic with a futuristic edge. I like the materials that were used and how he has the heel in the back for you to tuck your jeans so that they will not drag. These are definitely not like your typical LV sneakers, so big ups to Kanye on this one. More than 20 images after the jump. Read more »

This seasons theme is “Know Your Destination”. Some people wander through life not knowing where they are headed or how they will get there. This them focuses on the choices that people make that put them on the path to their destination, be it the high road or the low road. To each their own, everyone has a reason for their choices and you can’t knock someone for the choices they make if you haven’t been in their shoes.

The Low Road
The Necromancer and Envee Skull tee’s focus on the darker path. Everyone has skeletons in their closet, some come out to creep the night and some stay in the darkness, plotting and sneaking. Can you suppress your inner demons? Death is a challenge. It tells us not to waste time. When the body sinks into death, the essence of man is revealed.

The Middle Road
The Legendary tee spotlights the battle between the high and low road. Let everyone that you see, know you mean business and you are something legends are made of.

The High Road
The Evolved Essence and Guardian Angel tee’s focus on the high road. Someone once said “Change is the essence of life. Be willing to surrender what you are for what you could become.” Live your life as you would like to be remembered. Guardian Angels are thought to be spiritual beings that are “assigned” to assist people here on Earth in various ways. Whether there is one angel per person, one angel for several person or several angels for one person is open to question. But whether you believe in them or not, or whether you want one or not, believers insist that you do have a guardian angel.

yesterday the victoria and albert museum in london bought the original artwork of the rolling stones’ iconic red lips and tongue logo at auction. the V&A paid 92,500 USD for the logo after it was put up for sale by british designer john pasche, who designed it in 1970 while he was still a student at the royal college of art - he was paid 50 GBP.

john pasche say he will use the money to finance his sons education, you can find more on the story over on the BBC website and the creative review blog.

the logo was first used on the ‘sticky fingers‘ album insert sleeve, 1971.
