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

Looks like Ancient Aliens and the local Gimp Collective booked the village hall at the same time and couldn't sort it out.

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.

People have been sniggering at the vanity projects of rich and powerful megalomaniacs since forever. His race/upbringing has nothing to do with it.

I think he's taking the piss out of us all and has been for years Grin

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

"Shit" and "worst fashion designer of all time" aren't on the same level.

Arewethebadguys · 06/10/2022 21:38

I've had the WORST week ever. I won't bore you but I've just belly laughed for the first time in ages. Still chuckling. Thank you OP, this is the gift that keeps on giving 😆

If that's the case what makes his collection and him the worst fashion designer of all time?

Ah, I see your point.

He's very very unstable. He recently wore a 'white lives matter t-shirt' at his show? Completely chaotic man. I don't think he's any worse than e.g. Balenciaga who I think are seeing how far they can push the joke.

NumptiesIncorporated · 06/10/2022 21:43

Yabu. I've seen much worse looks on the catwalk and for sale online.

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.

😂😂😂sorry but it’s all absolute rubbish. Who on earth would wear that? The man is an untalented egotist.

Pinetreesfall · 06/10/2022 21:44

Oh @tiddlywinks2 you stole my idea! Wearing that on the school run would certainly turn some heads!
The 'outfit' looks like the aliens from Scary Movie 3 Grin

AssignedSlytherinAtBirth · 06/10/2022 21:45

I think it's been normal for a long time to look at some collections and think "wtaf?" But this does take it to another level. The airbed one, yes, and the others right at the end. There's unwearable, and there's..... crap. This is crap.

LIC1985 · 06/10/2022 21:46

I have actual tears in my eyes from laughing! Thank you op! This is the funniest thing I have ever seen

mummabubs · 06/10/2022 21:46

I must be mad as I thought we were in October, but surely it's the first day of April judging by those utter monstrosities. Seriously. Who buys them and then who wears them in public?! The first few look legit like they've come straight off the set of American Horror Story.

BruceAndNosh · 06/10/2022 21:47

Thank you OP.
I've been struggling trying to think of what to buy DH for his birthday next month.
I'm pretty sure Look 17 will be a hit at the Golf Club. Some of the other creations might impede his backswing

😂😂 I'd want the big bulky Lego shaped coat too, it's getting chilly!

Brighteyedtriangle · 06/10/2022 21:47

Haha like the one taking the rubbish out. I normally just wear my dressing gown though

Look 29 is great for anyone who wants to go as ‘joey wearing all of chandlers clothes’ but in post-apocalyptic times for Halloween.

Hatred of Kanye is not classism or racism - if anything HE is classist and racist. His most recent white lives matter stunt was horrific. His comments about other black people and slavery were awful. And that's before I get into the disgusting misogyny. And no, I won't excuse it just because he's a black rapper.

catsonahottinroof · 06/10/2022 21:50

I have no idea what 'Yeezy's' are or anything like that but on the basis of this slideshow YANBU. Possibly not the worst fashion designer of all time, but can't be far off! And I do have a bit of a soft spot for Kanye.

Keyansier · 06/10/2022 21:50

Nobody wears things modelled on the catwalk. That isn't the point of them.

These are a few looks from established designer Marc Jacobs from his 2022 "ready-to-wear" collection in the same show.

How exactly are any of those ^^ different as to what is in the OP?

catinboots123 · 06/10/2022 21:50

Have you seen his Insta today? He has gone full mental

Keyansier · 06/10/2022 21:51

oops, that was meant to be a reply to @RhannionKPSS

Crucible · 06/10/2022 21:51

He's brilliant comedy value in very troubling times.
