After Kanye West told people to not buy any Louis Vuitton until after January the company took action and sent an e-mail to their best customers who responded in a huge way. The company says that sales surged yesterday and when final numbers come in that a new record was set for online sales and that customers responded to the attack by Kanye by coming to the brand for the first time and there were many small transactions by people who wanted to show their support for anything that is anti-Kanye.
Kanye got his feelings hurt when the fashion director of Louis Vuitton couldn't find the time to spend with the whiner so Kanye wanted every one in the world to see how powerful he thinks he is and went on a NYC radio station to tell listeners to not buy Louis Vuitton until after the holidays. This shows that Kanye isn't as powerful as he thinks he is and that people hate him with a passion and are willing to spend money because they dislike him so much.
This dude makes me laugh so no I don't hate. I think he mostly trolling
ReplyDeleteEnty is on a roll today - spot on analysis of this deluded poser.
ReplyDeleteFunny, that was my first reaction, too. I'm not really the Louis Vuitton type - I like quieter designer labels like Bottega Veneta - but I actually thought 'I should buy something from Louis Vuitton to show my support.'
ReplyDeleteI always love Bottega Veneta bags.
DeleteLouis Vuitton is just paying to advertise their (very expensive) brand. Their bags are unattractive and lack style, you're paying for the logo.
I don't believe this for a second. Who would spend money to show that they don't like someone?
ReplyDeleteEspecialy with a designer known for hundreds (if not thousands) of dollar merchandise?
This is either made-up or PR.
No way average consumers despise this piece of what I scraped off my shoe this morning enough to spend their money. Especially this close to the holidays.
This has been a very amusing morning, thus far. I vote for this morning's Enty to win the full time job!
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...love it.
ReplyDelete@Bacon Ranch, totally agree. My first thought was kind of like Nutty_Flavor's, but my second thought was, "...except that I can't afford to do that. And Louis Vuitton doesn't NEED my support. They will be fine."
ReplyDeleteIs this like the feud with 50 Cent that happened right before both of their CDs dropped? They both sold waay more records than they would have. I think Kanye is trolling all the way to the bank, as is anyone that tangles with him, like Zappos or LV or whoever.
ReplyDeleteHe's just SUCH a bitch!!
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha ha HA! Sucker!!!!
ReplyDeleteNow if only people would stop buying his sucky music ...
Eh? I don't even understand. If this is even true you're saying that KW wanted a meeting with someone from LV and when hat didn't happen he went on national radio to demand a boycott? Is that actually what he said on the radio - for real?
ReplyDelete@violet, that part all happened. Kanye being Kanye but I haven't read anywhere else abt sales increasing though.
DeleteI wouldn't be surprised if he and LV had some sort of agreement to where Kanye would be "Kanye" and spew his "hatred" for the company, knowing it would boost sales...and his ego.
ReplyDeleteI think everyone should adopt and "I don't give a shit" attitude over all this.
ReplyDelete@baron obvi you didn't read it right. It said LV's best customers, they have money to spend, not the average customer.

ReplyDeleteI see Kimmeeeee is in trouble with his record company for posting a video of their clip on her blog ... ha! That video is so weird - I thought it was a pisstake when I first saw it. The start of it, with the horses galloping around, doesn't seem to fit ... as for her bumping about on the bike ... yuck - just YUCK.
ReplyDeleteGod, that bitch is annoying. I'm so tired of hearing about this lunatic.
ReplyDeleteI could have sworn I saw that sweater at Express last year. Or maybe it was the Limited?
ReplyDeleteI can't afford it but I think LV is tacky-all those gaudy initials all over everything. No thanks.
ReplyDeleteI read it just fine Yolanda.
ReplyDeleteI still call bullshit.
The lack of a link adds to that.
yeah cause the majority of people have the option to decide whether or not to buy a 10 thousand dollar handbag----who is considered this guys fan-base????? His new music is horrible and all he does is sample/rip-off hipster techno like Aphex Twin and Daft Punk and people consider it "ground-breaking"?!?! I hate this guy with a passion and you just know that Kim has probably bought one album in her life and it was like J-Low or some shit.
ReplyDeleteHe should hang out more with "Nobody Do An Interview with Vanity Fair" Goopy.
ReplyDeleteSomewhat off topic - has anyone seen that "Bound 2" piece of crap? Wow. I was told it's hilarious, and it does not disappoint. How on earth does this man think he's a genius, musically or otherwise?? Seriously, this is an all-out assault on the eyes and ears. One of the funniest things I've ever seen. This should (sadly, probably will) win a Grammy: "She axed me what I want for Christmas. You ever ask your bitch for more bitches?" That's comedy gold, right there!!
ReplyDeleteHe really needs to get ioff himself as a topic. Of course no one is going to listen to him; who the f*ck is he to them?? Really, his big brass ones can be seen with the naked eye from outer space.
ReplyDeleteKanye apparently has sand in his vag...
ReplyDelete@TV
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the parody by James Franko and Seth whatshisface? That is way more watchable than the Kimye version, and much funnier. I couldn't watch the original all the way through, with the sound off.
@Patty
DeleteI just saw that headline today but have not been able to watch yet. I can't wait!!
@Bacon is right - there are no reports of "record sales" after that happened. I can't imagine Vuitton's top customers even being aware of Kanye West, much less caring about them. Too bad, because Louis Vuitton a suitcase big enough for Kanye's ego.
ReplyDeletebesides I think Kanye fans are more of the counter-fit Vuitton variety
ReplyDeleteand nice sweater Kanye---did you borrow it from Kendals closet?
ReplyDeleteI don't buy this. Plus, anyone who spends that amount of money to screw over a celeb is a fool. Celeb don't care. Celeb is like the honey badger.
ReplyDeleteIf the remark just happened, I kind of doubt they'd have that kind of info that quickly --retailers would not know/report a surge that quick so if it is direct sales maybe but it seems kind of questionable.
ReplyDeleteI watched Kanye's interview with Ellen the other day and he certainly gives off a crazy vibe--either he's goofing on us or he's just kind of nutty.
See, cars, thats the beauty of his schitck. If you wonder if he is nuts, you just dont get his very cool humor! Either way, in his world, he wins.
DeleteMy favorite part of this is that he thinks designers are shutting him out because he's a black rapper, not for the obvious reason of him totally sucking.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, Ye. Rob Van Winkle And Eminem aren't getting shows at fashion week either.
I kind of love that he's surrounded by people that keep telling him every idea is a great idea. Eventually his bookings will come fewer and far between and he'll be stuck with the K Klan.
I find Kanye highly entertaining. His corny douchiness always provides me with a good laugh...it's like a pastiche of 70's Orson Welles, Norma Desmond and George Jefferson.
ReplyDeleteI heard part of an interview with him on a local radio station this morning and my God, is he delusional!! It's beyond comprehension. Oh, and he said that the video for Bound 2 was supposed to be piece of crap, he did that on purpose.
ReplyDeleteHow long before they end this "feud" and Kanye has a LV piece he's designed? Uh huh. Cha Ching! Money for both, fake nontroversy snake continues to eat its own tail, what else can we be offended by today, so we'll know who to support with our dollars? Miley Cyrus would like you to buy a ticket to her new concert, BTW, and did you know she had STRIPPERS, at her b'day party? *gasp* and booze? 1,000 more ticket sales.
ReplyDeleteThis kitty needs a new purse. If Kanye says "no", that's a "yes" for me.
ReplyDeleteSo am I buying the bootleg LV purse this Black Friday or not? Has Lord and Master Kanye even spoke about Black Friday yet? He was sooooo much better when I didn't hear him give his opinion. Bleach.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the Kanye hate! I would buy LV if I had the money to show my support for anything Anti Kanye. The guy is the biggest deluded douchenozzle on the PLANET!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think all this proves is that RICH people hate Kanye. The rest of us just don't give a shit.
