Kanye West Cleans Up His Act With Strict Suit Dress Code


First Posted: 08/19/10 09:26 AM ET Updated: 05/25/11 06:25 PM ET

After storming the MTV Video Music Awards' stage and being called a "jackass" by the President, Kanye West has quite the image to clean up as he makes his comeback. So how does he expect to do it? With a new dress code, WWD reports. It's called the "Rosewood Movement," a mandate that he and everyone in his posse must wear "sharply tailored, designer suits." West himself has been spotted in Dior Homme black suits over the last week and he's rumored to be wearing Dior onstage during his upcoming tour. Jay-Z has also rethought his onstage look wearing a cardigan to rap at the World Basketball Festival Tip Off.

It's not too surprising that West has turned to fashion to help him out, since he previously collaborated on a shoe line with Louis Vuitton and blogged about the death of the late and great designer Alexander McQueen.

Cleans up his act .... or just his packaging?

The clothes aren't going to make the man. Sewing his mouth shut would be a better use of thread and a better PR strategy. Pretty good at sharing his opinions, not so good at sharing the stage.

People say they hate Kanye because of what he said about T-swift, but be honest, although wrong, it was extremely entertaining and it made him more popular than he ever was, that was the best career decision he made. this one is second

Kanye was very popular already, on the contrary, it was Taylor that exploded through the roof with fame and more media coverage ever. This headline is also such a non-story, because Kanye always was a snazzy dresser, never sloopy and always neat and clean-looking.

Even this move wreaks of douch-baggery...

Great! Now if he can only act like he wasn't raised in a barn.
