Kayne West looks the ultimate pimp in his photoshoot with Russian supermodel Anne Vyalitsyna (or Anne V, as Sports Illustrated likes to call her).

Dezeen Magazine has the scoop on Kanye West’s nearly completed New York City apartment and it looks simply amazing. Check out the features: a freestanding stone basin in the bathroom, freestanding kitchen worksurface aligns with the refectory-style dining table, and a narrow, curving entrance hall. An architectural beauty.

I’d kill to have an apartment like that. Clean, simple, and functional. But I can’t imagine what it must take to keep it clean everyday. Daily maid service? The midtown apartment was designed by minimalist architect Claudio Silvestrin and should be finished by the end of February. [via theapt]
