Kanye West Ends Yeezy Gap Partnership: A Dream Deferred and the Pursuit of a Fashion Kingdom

In a seismic development within the fashion industry, Kanye West, now officially recognized as Ye, has brought an abrupt end to the Yeezy Gap partnership, a venture initially poised to span a decade but cut short after just two years.

Facebook wasn't the pioneer of Web 2.0, but it was the one that made it accessible to a global audience. It changed consumers' digital lives forever.

Painters Paint Paintings: LA Version at the Nino Mier

Review by Christopher J. Graham, guest contributor The press release for Painters Paint Paintings: LA Version-curated by Alexander Warhus at West Hollywood’s Nino Mier Gallery states that a contemporary painter’s largest concern is with the paint itself. Multiple painterly positions, it describes, are available in a single work. With so much freedom, the writing suggests painters can distinguish themselves based on the individual needs of their singular paintings. Space and composition are given to the reader as a common denominator, with a sense of suspension as a shared factor. These paintings have a lot in common. They are mostly abstract in presentation, though some bodily forms sometimes appear. In every work, the paint seems to be the piece’s subject. Each work sits togethe...
