Kanye West has been talking about his upcoming clothing line Pastelle for years but until now, no solid info or pics have hit the net. Apparently, the first Pastelle release will be sunglasses, not clothing.
In the photo above, Mr. Fresh is wearing a pair from the line that he is designing with George Gorrow of Ksubi from Australia.
"I love the sunnies Ksubi has produced over the years, and it's an honour to collaborate with them on this first installment of Pastelle frames," West told STUFF.CO.NZ. "George is an incredibly talented designer, and I've never met anyone who knew more about sunglasses and other cool stuff."
Sidebar: Did Kanye really refer to sunglasses as sunnies?
Anyway, the line is set to launch globally in October of 2008 and will feature limited edition gold frames which will set you back about 2gs.

Sunnies? Thats A First. But Its About Time He Showed Something From The Line. But Here Is A Quickie Ive Noticed While Listening To Mr. West's Cds, The Reason Why He Hasnt Gotten An Album Of The Year Grammy Is Because He Music Isnt Timeless. I Mean He Makes Great Music But It Gets Dated Really Quick. Take The Love Below U Can Still Listen To It And Take Something From It.

Sunnies that's real Aussie of you, Mr.West...HHAHAHHAH...I also agree with the timeless statement. Will we are in the microwave age? So timeless is not an issue anymore until Nasir Jones drops N!&&@...I hope there is at least one timeless joint on the record...Illmatic-timeless

Kanye isn't the first. I heard Jay say "Sunnies" referring to sunglasses when he was 106 & Park in 2006 promoting Kingdom Come

Rethink that one Kan, the ploy to get 2Gs from sunglasses aint worth the legal trouble.
Somebody is gonna be dumb enough to leave em in the sun...and yes it will burn you to a degree.

I agree that the College Dropout is a classic and his best album to date

Yeah....Ye's last album was just for the hype not timeless. the other album is in the middle,but the first album is pure clasic. I mean play family business now...brings healing to the bone.
