AceShowbiz - Kanye West has been named GQ's Most Stylish Man of 2015 for the second year in a row. The "All of the Lights" rapper's new achievement was partly because his wife Kim Kardashian mobilized her fans on Twitter to vote for him.
On Tuesday morning, December 29, the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star tweeted, "Alright guys!!!!! Let's vote for Kanye!!!!" alongside a link to the online voting page. Kim explained, "You can vote unlimited times so keep voting!"
"Ok we broke the polls because its not even letting first time voters vote. lol The system must be down! i think we got this!!!! #GQ #KANYE," tweeted Kim. A few minutes later, she excitedly announced, "YOU DID IT GUYS!!!!! KANYE WON!!! THANK YOU FOR VOTING! #GQ."
The magazine even admitted on its website that tweets from Kim and her siblings Kourtney Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian as well as their mom Kris Jenner "spiked the number of votes cast in West's direction." Kanye won against model Lucky Blue Smith with "the final tally: 520,119 votes for Kanye, 445,073 for Lucky Blue."
The vote aside, the magazine noted that Kanye deserved the title given his contribution to the fashion industry this year. "From the debut of his Yeezy label at New York Fashion Week back in February to the rollout of Yeezy Boosts throughout the year that instantly sold out, West had a dominant hand in defining how men wanted to look in 2015," wrote the magazine.
The magazine continued, "Plus, West's own wardrobe is studied, tracked, and blogged about with an amount of fervor usually reserved for female stars (like the rapper/designer's own headline-grabbing wife)."
