7 Times Kanye West Was a Fashion Visionary (in Honor of His GQ ‘Most Stylish Man’ Status)
We admit we were a bit surprised when Kanye West was named GQ‘s most stylish man of 2015. (He was voted No. 1 by readers!) But then we did a deeper dive into West’s year in style. Between his memorable quotes, his Yeezy Season 2 debut, his kontrol over Kim’s kloset and his dedication to deep-V shirts, we’re starting to understand why he landed on top.
If you need more convincing, check out highlights from the star’s stylish year below.

• When he styled Kim for the Grammys: “He saw this online at a couture show and sent me the picture and said, ‘Babe, do you like this dress?.’ He called the designer, gets it and it’s sitting my dressing room. I’m the luckiest woman alive,” Kim said of the plunging sequin Jean Paul Gaultier gown that sparked a million memes.

• When he introduced us to the drop-waist T-shirt: We didn’t even know this look existed until Kanye. Further proof that fashion pre-Yé wasn’t really fashion.

• When he called Ralph Lauren his daddy: Not much makes Kanye smile, but the iconic designer made an impression on the rapper. He even admitted to feeling starstruck after meeting his fellow designer, who placed his hand on the rapper’s cheek. “Do you know what he said when he did that? ‘This is my son,’” Kanye told T magazine of the embrace. “And I was thinking, ‘I knew it! I knew Ralph was my daddy!’”
