Beyonce graces the cover of the August/September issue of Complex, which was designed by photographer Thierry Le Gouès and artist Ebon Heath. In discussing the release of her latest album '4,' Beyonce told Complex, "Everything sounds the same on the radio. With 4 I tried to mix R&B from the '70s and the '90s with rock 'n' roll and a lot of horns to create something new and exciting. I wanted musical changes, bridges, vibrata, live instrumentation, and classic songwriting." In the issue she also talks about husband Jay-Z, her upcoming 30th birthday and dispels rumors about bad relationships with Kelly Rowland, Lady Gaga and Rihanna.

From The Cut:

Louise Wilson, a professor at British fashion school Central St. Martins, has confirmed reports that Kanye West is working on a womenswear label with British designer Louise Goldin. Wilson herself isn't involved, contrary to previous rumors, although she admits to chatting with him before about fashion stuff. Reports British Vogue:

The obsession with designer brands has gone too far. Young rapper Soulja Boy's new mixtape the 'Bernard Arnault EP' isn't about a new dance like his mega hit 'Crank That,' instead it's an ode to the luxury brand Louis Vuitton. The mixtape was already downloaded 13,000 times since this weekend, Women's Wear Daily reports, but we can't grasp why. Maybe it's the brainwashing effect of the second track 'Louis Vuitton.' Listen for yourself.
