Bon Rappetite – The World’s First Hip Hop Restaurant

Based in Atlanta, GA Bon Rappetite is the ‘world’s first hip hop restaurant’. While the menu dishes look rather normal – good, but normal – it is the naming of the dishes that distinguishes Bon Rappetite from other restaurants. From Big Boi-led Shrimp, Lil’ Wangz, Creme Puff Daddies, Salt N Pepa Crusted Tilapia, Chili Akon Carne, Roastface Killah to Wu Tang Clams.  Looks interesting and enticing. [via]

Kanye West’s DW Spring 2012 Fashion Show

Kanye West’s highly anticipated Spring 2012 Fashion Show took place October 1st at Lycee Henri IV in the 5th arrondissement in Paris. Noted fashion editors Anna Wintour, Suzy Menkes, Stefano Tonchi, Sally Singer, and Robin Givhan, along with celebrity guests Lindsay Lohan, Tameka Raymond, the Olsen twins, Jared Leto, and Ciara piled into the hot room to see what Kanye had in store.

Kanye certainly poured a lot of time into his latest endeavor. In addition to sitting front row for several seasons at women’s ready to wear shows (undoubtedly taking notes), he’d interned at Fendi, designed for Louis Vuitton, consulted with Central Saint Martins professor Louise Wilson, and tapped designer Louise Goldin and several CSM students to help him with his latest foray. The result was a mélange of saucy separates and club dresses, uplifted by well placed cut outs, dangerously low v’s and high hems. [via]
