For the second year running, Kanye West has been crowned as the ‘Most Stylish Man of 2015’ by GQ – and he’s edged out some tough competition to take the swag crown in convincing fashion.
Beating the likes of Alexander Wang, Adam Levine and ASAP Rocky – can somebody also please tell us how the fuck Tyga got a mention in this competition? – Yeezus took out the title with a little help from Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and Kris Kardashian all sending messages of support through their massive social media channels. With fans voting for the winner, Kanye West ended up taking out the title with 520119 votes, a convincing victory against model Lucky Blue Smith who grabbed 445073.
Still, the title should come as no surprise – Kanye West’s style evolution has been notable. Shifting from the androgynous, all-black garments that dominated the Watch The Throne era – leather joggers, anyone? – the latest incarnation of Kanye has a bigger emphasis on earthy tones, unorthodox cuts and a vintage aesthetic. His Yeezy collection generated plenty of talk at New York Fashion Week, while all renditions of his 750 and Boost 350 sneakers have lead to week-long queues across the world and crashed servers online.
We still think Young Thug should have won, though. See the progression of the showdown, and see the full breakdown over at GQ:
