Is Kanye West Designing Lady Shoes With Giuseppe Zanotti?

Today isn’t just the day Kanye dropped the epic Watch The Throne with Jay-Z (you know, the one with the Riccardo Tisci-designed cover), it’s also the day we learned Yeezy might be designing stilettos.

The folks over at Footwear News talked to Giuseppe Zanotti, who all but spilled the beans on a Kanye collab:

“Kanye is always here in my factory. In the last three years, he has come here maybe every month and worked with the employees 10 to 12 hours a day. [Kanye] loves learning about shoes, both the design and construction, and we’ve tried to design something together. In a couple of months, he could have his own special collection out.”

Oh really, Giuseppe? Just in time for his New York Fashion Week debut perhaps? Kanye’s already designed sneakers for Louis Vuitton, but lady shoes are a whole different ballgame.

Okay, really, who do we talk to about getting tickets to ‘Ye’s NYFW show?!
