Kanye West Reacts to Fashion Critics in an Angry Rant #typicalkanye #PFW

Kanye West SS12

Well, as we all know, Kanye West made his debut as a womenswear designer a couple of days ago during Paris Fashion Week. Fashion critics and enthusiasts worldwide took to Twitter and their blogs to talk about Kanye’s lackluster collection.

The most obvious issue was the lack of proper fitting and Cathy Horyn of The New York Times tweeted: “Next season Kanye should get a tailor so clothes might fit. Models swimming in some looks. Kills the hot look, no?” WWD labeled the show as being “neither a triumph nor trainwreck.”

The funniest response came from our Twitter follower @AShinyOConnor who said the collection was “like an Herve Leger that gave up.”

You can imagine Kanye being pretty upset about the reaction to his line and it was only a matter of time before he responded to the haters:

“Thank you for anybody that didn’t believe, because they motivated us to break our boundaries … we don’t know what the reviews will be, we don’t know what they will say, but I got a chance to go to Italy and feel those fabrics.

I begged Louis Vuitton to let me do more shoes after my shoes sold out in two weeks, and they did not. I begged Nike, I begged this company to let me do it. And I took out motherfucking loans to get the best models, to get the best designers, to get the best venue.

I gave you everything that I had. This is my first collection. Please be easy. Please give me a chance to grow. This is not some celebrity shit. I don’t fuck with celebrities. I fuck with the creatives in this room, the amazing people who spend every day of their life trying to make the world a more beautiful place.”

Ahhh, hilarious! Kanye, we have faith in you, send us an invite next time yeah?

Kanye West is Actually Designing Clothes, Like Sketching and Shit

Put your hands in the sky if you're ready to buy

Katie Eary is a British designer that Kanye West recruited to be a part of his design team for a collection that’s supposedly being produced in a defunct nightclub in London.

Sounds all sorts of shady right?

Well, that’s just their studio space so no big deal and Katie Eary assured the press that they are working hard to have a collection ready for debut during Paris Fashion Week.

 

 

Katie tells Elle UK:

“I absolutely love working with him. He’s such a dedicated designer. It’s not what everybody would think—he’s more dedicated than I am. The time and the travel that he puts in is unbelievable. I feel jealous at his commitment.”

Kanye isn’t just hanging out. According to Eary, “We bounce ideas off each other, sketch on the same page… we make a really good team.”

We cannot wait for this.

Moving on bitches.

Giles Deacon and Emanuel Ungaro have “mutually decided” to end their partnership after only working together for a year and a half. Can someone find a way to blame Lindsay for this? [WWD]

He was supposed to show off his collection during #NYFW but that didn’t happen so Kanye West is rumored to be pushing his debut runway show to Paris Fashion Week. [Vogue UK]

John Galliano‘s former assistant Antonio Berardi reveals:

“John would come out at the end of the catwalk show and people would think how confident he was. I think it was that part of his persona that kicked in for two minutes. Then he’d go back to being incredibly shy. Most of us [designers] are fragile creatures – even if we look theatrical and put on shows.”

Carine Roitfeld is everywhere these days and now she’s on the latest cover of i-D Magazine shot by Terry Richardson. Seems like she’s busier than ever since Vogue Paris gave her the boot. Success is definitely the sweetest revenge in this case. [Design Scene]

An anonymous stylist talks shit about Zac Posen to Page Six:

Zac was always ridiculous … But then he became a parody of himself. People around him have a head for business and try to rein him in, but he’s never had to work from the bottom up, and he’s too used to everyone flapping around him to notice that his name doesn’t mean what it used to.”
