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

It looks ridiculous, but this type of "fashion-show" fashion usually does. I don't understand why anyone pays any attention to these types of things, but I guess we all have our hobbies...

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?

Some of these ‘looks’ are better than kanyes, some are worse. I feel sorry for the models (and whoever has to help them get into these monstrosities) and I’m confused why so many ‘designers’ favour the ‘piles of clothes’ or ‘sleeping bag’ looks.

youcantry · 06/10/2022 21:56

My son who is 17 wears these clothes and trainers, unfortunately I have to pay for them.
When I moan to my mum, she says I was the same though, wearing Vivienne Westwood crowns and rocking horse shoes and Pam Hogg lurex cowboy print (she's a friend though so I got mates rates)
So I indulge him.

Menora · 06/10/2022 21:56

I’m able to overlook the runway crap as it’s designed to look shocking and it’s not just Kanye who does this they all do

but his actual collection you can buy is not for me, those huge rubber fishing boots he’s been wearing religiously for a year in the boiling hot, LA sunshine do not seem to have caught on….. I think he did well with his earlier collections but this stuff is ‘derilique chic’ and so dreary. I know he’s going for an industrial look but.. nah

ipswichwitch · 06/10/2022 22:00

I was looking through all this and came across a rather nice dress, and for a minute thought Kanye had finally started doing normal clothes.
then I realised it was an advert for AX Paris, and scrolled on to the hazmat fashion again.

mumda · 06/10/2022 22:00

They're actually very funny.

I don't like most 'fashion' though.

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.

It literally says READY TO WEAR collection 😂

And so do these from the same runway from established long-standing designers:

Louis Vuittion: www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/spring-2022-ready-to-wear/louis-vuitton

Lacoste: www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/spring-2022-ready-to-wear/lacoste

Marc Jacobs: www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/spring-2022-ready-to-wear/marc-jacobs

Gucci: www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/spring-2022-ready-to-wear/gucci

Alexander McQueen: www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/spring-2022-ready-to-wear/alexander-mcqueen

I don't think some people commenting here know what 'ready to wear' actually means in fashion...

WTF? Talk about emperor's new clothes

Pretty sure the Emperor would be sending them back...

Piglet89 · 06/10/2022 22:23

Look 30 with the built-in lilo.

handy for summer holz.

He’s just a tedious egomaniac. All egomaniacs are boring.

Thedogscollar · 06/10/2022 22:30

It's got to be a social experiment.

SingingSands · 06/10/2022 22:30

This is glorious. GLORIOUS. This is the look of 6am on bin day when you've forgotten to take your bin out, and can hear the bin lorry coming up your road so grab your jumper and sling it on inside out and turn that cami vest you stripped off the night before into a skirt to race out and catch the bin men.

Bins. But fashion.

sadeyedladyofthelowlandsea · 06/10/2022 22:37

I feel like I've just looked at DP on the day he had to do a survey of a bridge over a small river. He's the sexiest man I've ever met in my life, but even he couldn't carry off waders and a gilet.

grey12 · 06/10/2022 22:39

I thought you were joking. You're not!!! Totally creepy

ChagSameachDoreen · 06/10/2022 22:41

Roaring with laughter at this one. It looks like the villain from a cartoon.

When your mum buys you a new coat in Y7 and tells you it has to last til you leave Y11

Full on laughed out loud at this 🤣🤣🤣

IncessantNameChanger · 06/10/2022 22:48

I have to admit I think most runway fashion is not my cup of tea and ideas get watered down for the high street. Hideous. Sorry.

However the good news is that I think my 14 year old would make a cracking model if he shaved his head. Face like a slapped arse and disappears when turns sideways

Itsbritneybitch22 · 06/10/2022 22:07

This.

I agree.
At least it’s not boring

I actually like the duvet poncho. Not with the hoodie (obvs). Maybe over a black, skinny roll neck jumper and jeans 😍

It looks like oodie were inspired by Monty python and the holy grail. It’ll definitely keep you warm in winter!

You have to admire him. The world is full of doom and sadness at the moment and he comes along with this collection to give us a good laugh.
Is he what you call an alternative comedian?

OverArmour · 06/10/2022 23:24

What would improve these is having Simon Pegg and Nick Frost chase them down the catwalk.
