Wallpaper* Picks Top 2009 Designs, Kanye Clearly Responsible for Yellow Oven

story THE FADER

Wallpaper* recently enlisted some of the world’s keenest eyes to pick the winners for their annual Design Awards, including two-time FADER coverstar and fashion intern Kanye West. The list includes fine hotels, beautiful cities and high fashion, all of which we happen to know Kanye knows a little bit about because he posts about them like a freak on his blog. The other judges were French architect Jean Nouvel, French fashion designer Ines de la Fressange, Australian industrial designer Marc Newson, British production designer Sir Ken Adam and Italian fashion designer Stefano Pilati, who may all have great credentials but have they ever made a song with Kid Sister? The Design Awards issue of Wallpaper* is on stands now with accompanying videos coming January 26th with the debut of Wallpaper Video.
