NFL Supports Breast Cancer Awareness 2011

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and every year the NFL shows its support by using the color pink to accessorize the uniforms as well as other football equipment.    In case you've been living under a rock and wondering why players have been sporting pink during the games lately, this is why.  Since I don't watch a whole lot of football I always make it a point to search online for candid photos during Breast Cancer Awareness month to see the players accessorizing in pink.  Here are a few of my favorite photos I found online: 


San Diego Chargers Antonio Garay sporting a hair cut with a pink breast cancer awareness ribbon.

Cutie Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers warming up in a pink wrist band, cleats, and head cap before an October 9th game against the New Orleans Saints.

Here is another shot of Cam Newton, at the October 9th game against the Saints, wearing a pink towel over his head.

Members of the Green Bay Packers added splashes of pink to their cleats in a recent game.

Jaguars Wide Receiver Cecil Shorts wearing a pink mouth piece along with pink arm bands, towel and gloves.

Browns Cornerback James Dockery signs an autograph in pink gloves before a game against the Titans.

Way to go NFL!

Kanye West Reveals Womens Wear Line at Paris Fashion Week

Kanye West introduced his first clothing line, DW by Kanye West, at Paris Fashion Week.  DW by Kanye West is a womens wear collection dedicated to his mother, the late Donda West.  The Ready to Wear Spring/Summer 2012 fashion show took place at the Lycee Henri IV in Paris, France on October 1, 2011.  Kanye West has been spotted in the front row of many runway shows over the years, and he was apparently taking notes and gaining inspiration for his upcoming clothing line.


The audience consisted of several big names in fashion such as Alexander Wang, Sylvia Fendi, Anna Wintour, Lindsay Lohan, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and Ciara just to name a few.  Kanye mainly used black, cream, and white palettes with  plunging necklines, tasteful cut-outs, high leg slits, fur collars, and a few asymmetrical hems.

Here are several of the looks from the DW by Kanye West collection. *photo credit

Here are some of my favorite looks from the collection:

I think out of all the looks, this cut-out dress (or it may be a top and a skirt) is one of my favorites.  Definitely something I would wear in a heartbeat.

Kanye used Jourdan Dunn as one of his runway models


Chanel Iman (right) also model some of the runway looks




Two other looks that Chanel Iman and Jourdan Dunn modeled down the runway

He added a little color to some of the pieces.


All of the shoes worn by the models in the show were specially designed by Giuseppi Zanotti

Mr. West kept his attire simple sporting a white tee and jeans.

I personally loved most of the looks from the collection.  The price point hasn't been revealed yet, but hopefully it will be affordable because I definitely saw a few pieces that I would rock.  Ladies, what do you think of DW by Kanye West? Is it something you would wear?
