Kanye’s women’s line hit the runway in Paris for Paris Fashion Week. He said that his collection is “Miami meets goth”. Kanye’s line includes leather pants and dresses along with some furs; his collection also incorporated long skirts and a few dresses.
Among the people to see his collection were Alexander Wang, Jeremy Scott, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and Lindsay Lohan.
Critics have not been easy on Kanye’s new line and to The Hook he said, “This is my first collection. Please be easy. Please give me a chance to grow.”
One of the things he hopes to overcome is the stereotype of celebrities that turn into designers. Kanye presented his line in a high school in Paris and had everyone waiting to see what he would bring to the runway.
Although critics were left uncertain about Kanye’s new line, people in the crowd weren’t hesitant about what his collection brought out.
In an interview with the Associated Press, Jeremy Scott, a designer in the US, said, “Kanye had impeccable taste and you see his taste level is up there”.
Ciara, a R&B performer said to the Associated Press, “ He did a great job. I walked away from this show feeling like I would love to wear this line.”
His collection might have had mixed reviews but it doesn’t seem to be putting him down. He has finally come up with a collection he can call his own and definitely made a stamp on Paris Fashion Week 2011. Although his reviews weren’t the best his collection is making headlines and is the topic of a few fashion blogs.
If you have time you should check out Kanye West’s collection for yourself and see if you agree with the critics and think his collection could use more work, or if you think that his collection is perfect the way it is.
