Kanye’s New Line Gets Mixed Reviews
I’m a huge Kanye West fan. Let’s get that out of the way. I love his music; I love his swag; and I love his style. So naturally I’ve been waiting a long time to see what a clothing line from the Louis Vuitton Don would look like. He’s been talking about the line for years, and the rapper finally debuted his Dw Womenswear line during Paris Fashion Week.
The runway show drew interest from a wide range of spectators: Lindsay Lohan, Ciara, the Olsen Twins, Anna Wintour from Vogue and many more were on-hand to see what Kanye’s been working on. The show received a largely mixed response. While some called the line “confusing” and “poor-fitting” others recognized Kanye’s new to the game and said the show was “neither triumph nor a train wreck” and that “it had the earnest veneer of a beginner, which was sort of endearing.”
I wasn’t there, but I’ve seen the pictures. I just don’t think I’m the audience for these runway shows. I love the Sean John line, but I would never wear any of the stuff that I see in those shows. I kind of felt the same way about this. I mean, who’s gonna wear these…
