Seriously, wtf? The models look like sleep paralysis demons on a 4am crack run.

Oh my god thanks for that Op😂😂. Never seen anything worse- love it!

SavoirFlair · 06/10/2022 21:15

He’s not designing for Shein or whatever people buy these days - this isn’t high street

Kanye has been a trendsetter since his first Yeezy trainers - so much of what we see in luxury urban streetwear comes from his looks etc

Its not emperor’s new clothes - it’s edgy runway fashion and for me it works. It startles and arrests and makes folk think.

YABU.

WTF? Talk about emperor's new clothes 😂

Connection2Attention · 06/10/2022 21:17

Yeezys are awful. Middle aged men trying to be cool and buying them to keep in boxes to resell. It's hilarious that people buy such ugly trainers.

HeckyPeck · 06/10/2022 21:18

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

"Look" 22 might be nice for keeping warm in the winter I suppose 🤣

Shodan · 06/10/2022 21:20

😂😂Oh that was good. Thanks OP, it certainly gave me a laugh.

On the plus side- the over-the-knee wellies could be useful for fishing, and the all-body condoms must also have some kind of practical application I'm sure.

Middle aged women buy them too I’ll have you know …

Not all of us are looking for “structured”, “quality fabrics”, “timeless”, “put together”
or whatever words get chucked around here as signifiers of people with samey good taste

In related topic, I bought a few years ago some Off Whites when Virgil Abloh was doing the limited editions for Nike and it’s not something I expected my friends to get, but I just loved the twist on a familiar classic

He’s such a poorly guy and his behaviour is just exacerbated by the yes men his condition ensures he surrounds himself with. I hope he gets some help at some stage.

Cutting edge fashion? His previous collection looked very much like it was a copy of the stuff my dad wears to go fishing.
the only things Kanye is good at ate woman hating & self promotion

User38899953 · 06/10/2022 21:23

Look 28 is my personal favourite 😂

Sewwhatmrmagpie · 06/10/2022 21:23

What have I just looked at....

GCSE textiles called - it wants its coursework back please

MoneyWhatMoney · 06/10/2022 21:24

YANBU but thanks for the laughs 😂
To be fair, those clothes absolutely reflect Kanye as a person - complete nonsense that has somehow got lucky enough to become famous and make money!

nancy75 · 06/10/2022 21:25

Some of the trainers remind me of the Simpsons episode where Homer designed the dream car

tiddlywinks2 · 06/10/2022 21:25

Well, there's a good outfit to wear on the school run. I want the big welly boots with it though. Grin

@SavoirFlair I'm not a Boden stepford wife. Yeezys are awful. You've been tricked into thinking they're nice 😂

I don’t think anyone can be “tricked” into having an aesthetic preference…

Non of the designers are. But come on??? There is unattainable for the common people and then there’s just shite!

Keyansier · 06/10/2022 21:30

YABVU to single Kanye out like this when there has been LOADS of weird looks on the catwalks from those that are "established" in design. Dare I say there's a whiff of racism and classism in this OP because a black American rapper has ventured into fashion.

There is nothing remotely unusual about any of these designs when looking through the lens of a catwalk and I wonder why you've singled him out.

stanleycrickets · 06/10/2022 21:31

Half of them look like burglars who have been told it’s post-apocalyptic theme for tonight’s robberies and the other half look like they need 5 redbulls.

Guiltycat · 06/10/2022 21:31

On an unrelated note, I’ve just realised that my six year old is already talented enough to become an international fashion designer.

He personally designed, and stuck, very similar looking clothes onto his marvel figures. They were made out of play doh.

Thinking of taking him to Milan and giving him a crack at it.

I’m sure some muppet will pretend to like it and call it ‘edgy’ 😂

APlanetFarFarAway · 06/10/2022 21:32

No.30 looks like she got trapped in her air bed and is stuck with it.

I think agreement that his ‘fashion’ is shit transcends class and race.

Sunnyqueen · 06/10/2022 21:36

All the big names have done similar/worse collections. Gucci mens a couple of years ago makes this collection look tame.
None of it is supposed to be items to wear on the school run but we see ass crazy high fashion on the runway influences what we see on the high street a few years later. It's always worked that way.
