I actually adore Kanye as an recording artist, but I loathe him as some self-appointed fashion visionary, and I loathe this shot.
Funny how I thought Juergen was so fresh back in the late-90s and early 2000s, especially when he was working with Helmut and Melanie. NowI can't stand his "work"-- which has gone absolutely nowhere and he's just a prized brand now, nothing more. It's like Benicio del Toro's character Benny told Jeffrey Wright's character Basquiat in the amazing film Basquiat: "You keep doing what you're doing until you're famous for it, then you just keep on doing it..." And that's all Juergen's been doing. Good for him I suppose for being able to not bothering to make an effort nowadays but still getting the acclaim and blue-chip accounts. Benny was right.
