Kanye West in Nike Air Yeezy 2 @ 2011 Victoria Secret Fashion Show NYC

Having already made a few tenuous appearances in the Nike Air Yeezy 2, Kanye West wore the highly anticipated sneaker last night at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in New York. Consistent with past glimpses, the shoes feature the recognizable black/pink colorway as well as the glow-in-the-dark outsole. Although West has given the Air Yeezy 2 plenty of face time throughout his Watch the Throne tour with Jay-Z, an official release date has yet to be announced.

FILM → IMMORTALS

15 th November 2011

Many of you remember I have been banging on hard about this film since it was being filmed last year in Canada, well even those that have had their head buried in the sand cannot fail to miss how heavily promoted this film was. Posters of this film were everywhere, billboards, on the side of busses, magazine and all over the net. Relativity and Universal went all out to promote this film because it is just an incredible film!

It finally got a release last week and it has already nudged ahead of animation Arthur Christmas to become the new number one offering to UK and Ireland cinemas.  The film, which stars new Superman actor Henry Cavill, took £2.16m to debut in the top spot, narrowly beating its seasonal rival which made £2.11m. Immortals also topped the box office in the US and Canada at the weekend

IMMORTALS, WonderCon Character Posters

As a power-mad king razes ancient Greece in search of a legendary weapon, a heroic young villager rises up against him in a thrilling quest as timeless as it is powerful.

The brutal and bloodthirsty King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) and his murderous Heraklion army are rampaging across Greece in search of the long lost Bow of Epirus. With the invincible Bow, the king will be able to overthrow the Gods of Olympus and become the undisputed master of his world. With ruthless efficiency, Hyperion and his legions destroy everything in their wake, and it seems nothing will stop the evil king’s mission.

As village after village is obliterated, a stonemason named Theseus (Henry Cavill) vows to avenge the death of his mother in one of Hyperion’s raids. When Theseus meets the Sybelline Oracle, Phaedra (Freida Pinto), her disturbing visions of the young man’s future convince her that he is the key to stopping the destruction. With her help, Theseus assembles a small band of followers and embraces his destiny in a final desperate battle for the future of humanity.

Congrats go out to Emily Blunt, who is starring in Yves Saint Laurent’s F/W campaign, shot by Patrick Demarchelier, for the fashion house’s iconic Opium fragrance.

Blunt, who follows in the footsteps of Kate Moss and Sophie Dahl, will “unveil a fiery, almost reckless woman with magnetic seduction, that nobody or nothing can resist.”

The star said that she found it “really exciting to embody a fragrance which has stood the test of time without its allure ever being diminished.”

Opium was launched in 1977 and includes notes ranging from mandarin orange, bergamot, lily of the valley, jasmine and myrrh to vanilla, patchouli, and amber.
