There are a lot of gay men out there who know fashion.  I mean, REALLY know fashion. From Jason Wu to Marc Jacobs, these men know what fabrics and silhouettes look best on the curvy figure of the woman, better than a woman herself.  And it was interesting to note when Kanye West, famed hip hop producer and artist known for visionary hits from “Stronger,” to “Flashing Lights,” had to defend his sexual status from 50 Cent and other rappers who stated that he was gay because of his love of fashion.

In an interview with “The Guardian,” West says, “Because stereotypically gay people got such good [style] … they were smart enough to take a fresh-ass logo like the rainbow and say that it’s gonna be theirs. ‘Man, I think as straight men we need to take the rainbow back because it’s fresh.’”

He also stated that not ALL gay people have the best sense of style.  West says,”Because there’s a lot of gay people who don’t dress good at all. There’s a lot of gay people that I dress way better than.”
