In honor of the rapper Kanye West's birthday today, let's take a look at some of his iconic style moments. From his start in the public eye in 2004, he has displayed nothing but effortless style and impactful outfits that have inspired many. From his start as an in-demand music producer to legendary MC to fashion designer, we pay tribute to Ye.
