Jean Touitou announced his new collection, Last Niggas In Paris, during Fashion Week. The designer went on to say tha,t rapper Kanye West, gave him approval to use the word n*gga for his latest fashion line.
Here’s what Jean Touitou said:
“I call this one look Last N****s in Paris. Why? Because it’s the sweet spot when the hood—the ‘hood—meets Bertolucci’s movie Last Tango in Paris. So that’s ‘N****s in Paris’ and Last N****s in Paris.
Yes, I mean, it’s nice to play with the strong signifiers. The Timberland here is a very strong ghetto signifier. In the ghetto, it is all the Timberlands, all the big chain. Not at the same time—never; it’s bad taste. So we designed Timberlands with Timberland.
I made looks which are a cross-over of those two references: the Timberland shoes and the sweat pants are iconic of hip-hop, and the camel hair color coat, worn with nothing under it, is iconic of that precise movie. I am friends with Kanye West, who recorded ‘Ni**as in Paris’ with Jay Z, and he and I presented a joint collection at the same place, one year ago, and that this thing is only a homage to our friendship. As a matter of fact, when I came up with this idea, I wrote to him, with the picture of the look and the name I was giving to it, and he wrote back immediately saying something like, ‘I love this vibe.’”
Kanye is worst than OJ. He’s setting himself up for a great fall. Smh
I know.. SELL OUT. Point, blank and the period.

They will buy it..Anything to use as a reason to say the N word more openly..Kanye starved for attention azz..Anything to be in fashion.
And people were offended by Cumberbatch’s use of the archaic term colored?
Hello!
Things that make you go hmmmm.
This is why I feel these apologies are unnecessary. You turn around and next day here is Kanye telling those folks he has his permission to denigrate him and 30 million Americans.
Kanye west is crazy and so is this designer thinking that this is cool. Crazy co-signing crazy. That is all i just read.
Disgusting remarks coming from someone who knows NOTHING about black culture.
All he wants is the money from idiot kids who don’t know any better than to think wearing “designer anything” makes you cool.
HEY, FOOLS!!!! Being a real man or woman and taking care of yourself, your family, and your community makes you cool.
Cosign+1000
AMEN!!!
KAYNE FALL FROM GRACE WILL BE A HARD ONE VERY STUPID GUY WIFE A PISS PORN HOE LIKE SHE SOMETHING TO BE PARADING AROUND.GAY,GAY, AN MORE GAY.BIG ASS DUMMY HES GONNA PAY A HEAVY PRICE FOR WHAT HE DID TO HIS MOTHER.
He lost his mind when his mama passed. That is for sure.
The outfit is hot, Its just the wickedness of the idea
Im not feeling, Black people have to go back to being themselves and be their own designers and originators
I never stop. Will ALWAYS rock my own flavor & make it work!
When French designers (in cahoots with Kanye) use n****s, they projecting African American fashion/culture as hip, edgy urban, what have you.
When French (and most Europeans)think n****rs, they think Africans from their former, oops, current colonies.
If any of you lived in Europe for some time, you’ll know what I’m talking about.
At BET 2015 Award Kanye West Made A Racial Joke About His Slutty Wife Being Dicked Down By Broke Nicca’s
Talking About Nicca’s Who Fall Throught Grace, What’s Up With Dave Chapelle’s Face?, Is Fat
Koonye aka Queenye, is doing all the rituals that’s why he’s getting these insipid clothing lines and deals. Besides sacrificing his own mother. I wonder besides ricardo tisci who’s a handler in the fashion inlustry, who else he is bending over for?
That’s a women’s coat
It’s a balmacaan style coat. They originated in menswear and eventually were introduced into womenswear in the early 20th century. The reason that this appears feminine to you is the length and the lack of a collared shirt under the coat. If it were calf length with a shirt and tie, it would look very different.
Ok, I learn something new everyday
Coat looks sharp to me but there’s just too many tan tones goin on there.
It’s like sitting down to a plate of pork chops, potatoes, noodles and lentil soup.
Excellent analogy!
I hope black people have enough sense not to buy anything from that collection.
The type of black people who have the means to purchase from his collection would view the title as ironic.
who gave Kangay the right to say who can use the word nigga huh ? dont you know that if a white person use this word would still catch a beat down. i dont care how chic or kool it is but let a white person get caught using this word in public I pity the….
I can see Guiliana Rancid on the Red Carpet now, “Who are you wearing?”
“Oh, this is the latest Niggaz in Paris right off the runway!” Yeah that’ll go over real well.
I Wonder What Lord Jamar Is Going To Say About This?, He Already Ridicule Kanye For Wearing A f*cking Skirt
The devil and whites are laughing at Kanye. This makes them happy.
kanye might as well wear blackface, tap daNCE AND BEND HIS ASS OVER FOR THE WHITES ITS A ASHAME WHEN BLACKS GIVE WHITES PERMISSION TO DEGRAde them and worse get paid while doing it.
Nigga please…
blacks wearing skirts well don’t care about this trend.
blacks wearting kilts well that was unheard of why blacks are paying homage to Scottish culture is beyond my understanding.
then they wanna say blacks are going back to their ancient roots by weraring kilts and wardrobes worn in previous centuries.
yes people in ancient times wore robes, dasheekis, and tunics but that was then.
its not cool for anybody to wear a tunic now.
no disrespect to the scots but that’s their tradition.
a black kid would have gotten his ass wooped for wearing a kilt in 1985.
this is not what we do over here but a rapper weasrs a kilt or skirt everybody wanna copy it.
phukk that.
Justin Bieber was on Ellen wearing what looked like a longish tunic thing. TPTB start the trends on sell out lab rats like koonye to make the unacceptable acceptable first, then they send out the yt boys to Try and make it hip. First time now I’ve seen one of them in a skirt.
I want College Dropout Kanye back. He is just so embarrassing now.
The New Workout Plan Kanye from the Dropout cd? He’s always been a pompous, pseudo afrocentric intellectual who enjoyed sluts and swirling, even when developing fanbase during first road tours. I miss the DDot Angeletti, faceless, 808 heavy beat making Kanye. Sigel’s The Truth, Kweli’s Good to You et al. His lyrics havent contributed anything but his productions are influential.
Aside: I wonder if this NIP fashion line is featured in Nas’ recently premiered Fresh Dressed documentary featuring Yeezy’s bae, Riccardo.
GO LISTEN TO THAT CD THEN.
I want to know who is their right mind is going to actually buy this stuff?????? I guess they forgot that little tidbit in the marketing meetings. LOL!!! he probably was so excited about the prospect of offending African American men, that he failed to realize they’re not going to be supporting this racial attack
@Say Cheese I totally agree i like the old Kanye. The Kanye that actually cared and wasn’t a sell out
I really think his mothers death and the way she died really messed him up. It’s sad but I still can’t cosign his foolishness.
Well its his own fault that he decided to sacrifice her for fame and fortune
Also I think he is under heavy mind control along with the Kardashians
Too Much Money Fucks Up Black People’s Head
COON-YE strkes again!! Im sure his racist wife is so proud
Yup. She is so proud that she pissed on herself. No, wait a minute, someone pissed on her. OK, that’s more like it.
I mean no disrespect to any of you all, but you’re wrong if you think white people are laughing at Kanye or this designer. White people will find this edgy and hip. They aren’t thinking about the n word in the context in which you think they are. They are seeing it as a Fuck you to societal norms. No one would rock this as a means of belittling the black struggle or culture. I know it’s hard to fathom, but there is so great a gulf between the 2 races as far as perception
of what is offensive and what isn’t. It’s like when a black person uses the words cracker, wigger, honky or whitey. That just isn’t offensive at all. It does not hurt in any way.
If there’s one small thing that I think would really benefit blacks overall it would be to reduce sensitivity to labels and words. They only do damage if you allow them to. There are so many white people who never ever use the n word. That in no way means that they are not bigoted. The n word was never spoken in my family home a single time, but my parents were extremely bigoted. In other words, respectful identifying terms are not a good indicator of good intent.
The confusion that white people feel about what to say in order to not offend is great, and yet, if white people never used an offensive term again, would black Americans necessarily be better off? Would their employment opportunities be improved? Would that lead to better schools and infrastructure in urban communities? I don’t believe so. That’s why I feel that the sooner the racial nomenclature is reduced from being such a hot button issue, the sooner white people will begin to focus on issues of true importance.
Brought To You By The Kardashians/Jenners/Wests PR Team…
There you go.. fixed that for you.
Sad at your reaction. All the talk about having a national conversation on race? Is it really wanted?
Nope. Let’s talk when ashkenazis are ok with everyone wearing swastika medallions and tshirts that say ” Holla if the Holocaust never happened” .
Good enough. You want it, you got it.
Shut up idiot anon is right black people need to stop this over sensitive sht allowing a word and someone elses opinion affect you that much, my grandfather taught us the same thing it only has power if you give it power
That is true. When I was 5 years old at camp , they called me a nigger but i didnt understand what it meant then. After they called me nigger, me and the yte kids went to play and that was the end of it
In my black neighborhood the kids never called me nigger but they used to steal from me and just do hateful things on a regular basis
The power of action is much more powerful then a word
Very incisive 19:28. A good lesson explained simply and without emotion.
Off topic google the royals in a scandal involving a video of the prince with an underage sex slave i cant provide the link but look it up
Yawn….
From Georrge bush doesn’t care about black people: a moment about heartfelt humanity
TO
last niggas in Paris.
I don’t subscribe to conspiracy theorists but I think the real Kanye west is dead.
I agree. He sacrificed himself.
Remember When Kanye Was On His Pro-Black Shyt He Dated A Black Women,
The Old Kanye Would Ridicule The New Kanye, That’s For Sure
Yea, but I think something more sinister happened to him, like he’s almost making it a point to sound as ludicrous and as bizzare as possible, to discredit the Kanye from 5,6 years ago, the change is gradual, subtle but effective in completely destroying him from becoming a powerful revolutionary.
Powerful revolutionary? We’ll be lucky if he doesn’t end up as spokesperson for Always panty liners at this point.
Lmao
U are right @Lucid. When u look at the eyes u can tell it is possibly someone else
I don’t know if he’s dead. Maybe micro chipped. He definately uses a double. All that performing with his face covered and masks on. That’s not even him. Same thing with eminmen. I don’t know why they do it but its obvious that sometime there are different folks portraying both those ” artists”.
WHEN BLACKS DATE WHITE WOMEN.L
THEY LOSE THEIR MINDS.
KANYE COULD HAVE CALLED THIS CLOTHESLINE ANY OTHER NAME AND IT STILL WOULD HAVE SOLD HES A DAMNN IDIOT.
DEFENDING WHITE SLUTS WHILE DISSING HIS OWN WOMEN.
Sell out mofo
The top look like a dress….
What self respecting black man woukd wear this?
Kind of sacrilegious for men with soft and/or manicured hands to sport unblemished WORK BOOTS . Shoulda known we were at the cusp of effeminzation when these hardcore “men” started fighting/maiming/killing if someone scuffed their Buttas(suede Timberland boots). Ye just took it to the next level. If only these men knew how to fix a car or build a house…the outfit would look better with some sperrys or common projects instead. The name is appropriate since N*ggas, of all races, would wear a practical shoe and chinos for aesthetics.
Speaking of niggas Suge Knight done ran over his friend today and killed him. He was allegedly afraid cause some shit jumped off at some shoot and he reversed his car to getooutta there and killed his friend. Story still developing…
Good Lord. That dude is a one man plague. He is more deadly than Ebola.
The devil is coming to collect his due come what may with this dude. Heard he supposed to be surrendering himself shortly
Say want you want, it looks stupid.
Anyway, if anyone wants to buy that crappy looking shit, wait a few months and you can get it from the crappy clothing clearance rack at your neighborhood Family Dollar.
Might as well go all-in, and accept his fate. I don’t recognize the new and unimproved Kanye. What happened to him?
Kanye,
Not liking the name much, You want something that says YOU! That says Kanye!
How about: Last JACKASS in Paris
From Timberland CEO
“We have chosen to immediately terminate our involvement with the A.P.C. brand. Simply stated, this kind of language and approach is in complete contrast with our values,” the U.S.-based company said in a statement. “Timberland seeks to collaborate with designers and brands who are at the forefront of lifestyle trends; equally important, they must also share our values. We will not tolerate offensive language or racial slurs of any kind being associated with the Timberland brand.”
Was’nt several years ago that Timberland did not want the “Urban” demographic wearing their shoes?
Ironic too that the history of Timberland was/is a racist one.
The tree logo embossed on the clothing and footwear represents the tree that the owner’s family of past generations used in order to hang the black slaves.
And yet we have rappers and other ignorant black folk who without investigating or researching who they are blindly endorsing, draping themselves in this stuff; strutting around as if they’re people of significance; all whilst enriching the organization’s profit margins in the process with that ignorance.
So sad… couldn’t even make this isht up.
yeah they go around shouting out these products saying rock this you a square if you don’t rock these.
phukk timberland, nike, reebok, adidas and all these thugs who kill for this chit and made this a part of gang banging culture.
I’m not dying for nike.
I’m not dying over no damn chain or rope.
That’s what I heard, too.
Okay, mamas, grandmas… starting today, if you have not taught your children that there are people who act like they are your friend. But, they are NOT… they want your money, they want your body, and they want your soul.
If your kids won’t listen to words, get a switch.
All I can say is, I was taught that I was SOMEBODY and I had better act like SOMEBODY.
Sure, it takes a lot more effort to act like SOMEBODY than it does NOBODY. But, NOBODY never gets ahead, and SOMEBODY always does.
i wish kanye die with his mother
