To say that Kanye West is the worst fashion designer of all time?

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

Kanye's a misogynistic dickhead and a crap designer...that's why he's being singled out.

I can’t work out what part of the ‘look’ is for sale? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

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

What DOES it mean?

That's essentially what Meryl Streep said in Devils Wears Prada

I wouldn't say I was fashionable but the buyers & designers have to get their ideas from somewhere. And it will mean cropped baggy layers in kahki. Will turn up in the next few months. But not as outlandish

Have none of you seen The Devil Wears Prada? Meryl Streep’s character explains how a look on the runway eventually trickles down to the High Street.

So we won’t all be wrapped in duvets dragging a bin bag while wearing waders, but some basic ideas involving textures, layers, etc will be incorporated into mainstream fashion eventually. The High Street brands look to famous designers for their ideas, but in a wearable, more accessible form.

Came here to say this. Just Google Rick Owens or Thom Browne.

MinglingFlamingo darling, it’s Exactly what Anna said to me after the show 😜

My god, these are actually quite disturbing. The models all look like survivors of some kind of nuclear armageddon who are living in a post-apocalyptic radiation sickness nightmare where everyone has to wear clothes made out of stretchy plastic. Either that or plutonium poisoning chic.

Number 15 is clearly a sloth standing up straight for the first time ever

Christ I needed a laugh this morning. Thanks for that OP!!

As someone who worked in B&M this is correct. There was a thread a few months ago about shoe styles & I said that platforms were coming back, first they are on the catwalks, then in the shops but only small buys for the early adopters. Then a season or two later it's everywhere.

The styling is a very dystopian/hills have eyes but it will defo filter down.

Let's just hope the penis peepholes don't roll down to the high street 🤮

OMG I have NEVER laughed so much! Number 16 reminds me of Lurch from the Addams family! I have no idea what the hell the models were thinking when the agreed to "model" his "clothing". Hideous!!

Not sure why you think this is the only thing that stands out or why he’s been singled out - have you seen how awful some other designers are? For years and years before this. It is a bit odd to just single him out.

I buy my fashion from charity shops and ebay so I am absolutely not the intended audience.

I saw a link to his collection on the sidebar of shame so didn't single him out, I have no idea what other luxury fashion designers are creating! Although, I had a quick Google and saw that Balenciaga recently held a fashion show in a mud pit! All the world's fashion elite sat around a mud pit on fold up chairs watching angry models stomp around what looks like Glastonbury after a downpour.

My title was poorly worded, I should have said his latest collection is a pile of shit rather than worst designer of all time. In my defence, I'm prone to hyperbole and was 2 wines deep.

The model in the leather dress and buckles is how I walk when I'm about to hoist my tantrumming child out of the ball pit at soft play.

Wonderful line

Yes he is a terrible designer and not much better as a person.

Runway fashion is usually hilariously ugly but this particular look must’ve been inspired by Joey from Friends.

Balenciaga are responsible for monstrosities like the high heeled crocs which sell for £450, as well as numerous other bizarre pieces. I honestly, genuinely think they’re just trolling the rich at this point.

🤣🤣🤣

Its like a really bad sci-fi costume party!!

Seems like 85% "objectively appalling", and 15% "maybe suitable for the lead singer in a band of 50 and 60 somethings who wish to pretend to be 30-40 years younger by hiding their faces."

Thanks!! This has really made me laugh.

I dread to think how much this crap costs. I dare say there will be people willing to pay for it too.

Hahahaha. ALL fashion is a form of trickery and propaganda, and it's most effective when persuading you that you just like it because you're such a cutting edge individual.
But crack on, it's your money to waste.
