Kanye West S/S 2012 Paris

[Marc10]

This will be more bashed than Dior Couture.

this is exactly what I thought it would be honestly. Its his interpretation of Bebe meets Phoebe's Celine. Its a hot mess because those two shouldn't be combined, but its amazing.

Let's hope this isn't an annual thing, yes?

LOL

Reviews...

@marian_kihogo: we can allow Kanye West freshman forgiveness. Sophomore collection, he better bring it!”

@BinkleyOnStyle I'll file my thoughts later at blogs.wsj.com\runway, but let's just say it's good #Kanye West has a solid day job

mredelsteinkanye west should be a designer about as much as coco chanel should be a rapper

I was hoping for something over the top tacky but it's actually pretty tame and boring. Some nice ideas, bad execution. It's not that bad for someone's debut collection, but it's not good enough to be shown at Paris Fashion Week either.

For as questionable as some of this looks, I still hope Beyonce and Tina are somewhere taking serious notes.

That was my first thought as soon as I saw the collection. No, Kanye. After this, your swagger is most definitely lost.

If I'm going to be completely honest, I expected it to be worse. Not that it's impressive by any definition, but it's better than House of Dereon.

House of Dereon isn't a comparation for any label. Well, maybe Sears.

Ha, it's pretty much an extension of an Alexander Wang collection. I think that, instead of designing his own collection, he should invest in some young and talented designer to live vicariously through them as that's about as close he will get. And it will help someone.

Anyone today can be creative director! I must admit that is unique well...original ....

He could try another job as a singer!


Shocked with the casting!

or just talking sh!t

i just feel like I've seen it all before. It looks like an obvious mix of Balmian and Phoebe Philo Celine, and some other references. I was honestly expecting a lot worse, something along the lines of Topshop Unique but this isn't too bad, it's just not good

That said, the shoes are okay. That's it

I can't wait to see the scathing reviews

 

[Fatalefashion]

^^^Kisses for you too.

 

[|BellaDonna|]

It's actually okay, there are some interesting and wearable pieces but I sense he is going to be thoroughly bashed anyway.

 

[mint condish]

Can someone explain the deja vu comment? Is it basically that Kanye ripped off a bunch of other designers? Reminds me a lot of Karl Lagerfeld if anything

 

[XavierRaphael]

Can someone post the full collection please?
