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

Oh wow! My favourite are the "shoes " in look 11😂

FourTeaFallOut · 06/10/2022 23:34

Ah, number 11. A.k.a 'Which one of you fuckers nicked my sock?'

And where the fuck did I put my trousers??

yes.

it makes people think “what a pile of shite”

you’d have to be seriously deluded to see anything other than a piss-take at folk with more money than sense.

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...

Comparing collectiona in the link you posted to the one from Kanye West, his is the worst one and least wearable and 2nd position goes to the link with Marc Jacobs collections. Rest of the links have atleast a few nice pieces. McQueen has a lot of nice pieces. I am not white.

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

At last. I was wondering when I'd come across someone here into sneakers.

Nice that you managed to get a pair of Off Whites. RIP Virgil. The brand just isn't the same now he's gone.

But I agree. Everyone needs a few pairs of sneakers and I'm not particularly a fan of Yeezy's but Kanye knows how to get people hooked.

Thanks for the chuckle OP. Not sure what's more hilarious, the 'clothes' or the comments

DonnaBanana · 07/10/2022 00:09

Catwalk fashion and clothes people actually wear have nothing to do with each other. It's like comparing experimental haute cuisine with a Tesco meal deal. You are not the audience.

LemonSwan · 07/10/2022 00:18

Well at least I can see the inspiration. Skid row, the COVID bats and the black power hand to finish off.

Did give me a good chuckle. Thanks OP

Ylvamoon · 07/10/2022 00:28

Nah - I just see an alien theme with a zombie (pic 11) thrown in for free.

He definitely wants to break into the movie / costume design market.

MissFancyDay · 07/10/2022 00:33

But they are deliberately styled like that to look weird and get you talking. Some of the pieces on normal people would be very wearable.

This is all very " my five year old could do better" I think he has a distinctive look which must be so difficult these days.

OzziePopPop · 07/10/2022 00:34

Well it’s meant Halloween 🎃 👻☠️👹

most of them look like the zombie 🧟‍♀️ apocalypse is coming!

meant = nearly, sorry!

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

That made me laugh so much I woke my husband up.

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

Rolling on the floor now...

AtrociousCircumstance · 07/10/2022 01:12

Crying with laughter here 🤣

SherbettingSherbert · 07/10/2022 01:28

just gave me the absolute biggest laugh 😂
Thank you, needed this chuckle tonight

Nancydrawn · 07/10/2022 02:00

There's some vaguely interesting stuff here. The idea of a total lack of hardware in clothes isn't boring, and I like the structure. The proportions are a bit try-hard, but I don't mind the aesthetic.

That said, he's just so predictable. The White Lives Matter thing was such a stunt, and not an interesting one. Just so boring.

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.

Women wear them too. I remember thinking the same ages ago. They are really really comfortable though!

Didn't buy them in store though.

HRTQueen · 07/10/2022 02:14

if you consider yourself fashionable and buy fashionable clothes it’s highly likely that some of his designs have trickled down to what you have worn

as have other outlandish outfits that we have seen on the catwalk

Or trickled up to him. I had this dress from Hush six years ago. Maybe he’s a Mumsnetter 😂

Would it be wrong to mix Kayne's and Marc Jacob's design. Specifically I'm thinking Kayne's 29 and MJ's 10.

Bit concerned it might drown me (I'm 5ft 1) but if I find the right shoes I could make it work I'm sure.

I agree they are hideous but I love my yeezys. They are so bouncy and comfortable.

ReeseWitherfork · 07/10/2022 03:36

CryingAtTheDiscotheque · 06/10/2022 22:52

I agree.
At least it’s not boring

When you strip away the stunts and gimmicks, it is actually quite boring though. I think I saw the word “underwhelming” being used after his Paris show.

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.

It's absolutely god awful - rich people try and portray it as what you said above but in reality it is just absolutely awful and if a working class individual designed something like that...well yeah you know it wouldn't work. It's pathetically and embarrassingly terrible.
