This Watch The Throne post is not about Jay and Ye, but Ricardo Tisci and Virgil Abloh. Tisci is the creative director at Givenchy and Abloh is behind all things fashionable with kanYe, oh and they put together the packaging for Watch The Throne. Maybe too flashy and gaudy for your taste, but this is the nicest album packaging I have seen. Yeah it would have been cool if it was made out of metal, but the embossing is well done. It folds open in every direction to reveal some wild imagery, an American flag and some wood grain finish that is also found on the disc. Maybe the coolest, but understated part is the back of the CD, its all black. Guess it goes with Jay’s all black everything. High-end fashion and hip-hop rarely mix, but here it shines.
Just got the Deluxe Edition in the mail today and here are some photos if you haven’t already seen it.
