Cykic Words of Wisdom "Go Back to Your Day Job, Kanye"

Look 1, I thought someone punched Anja Rubik in the eye. Look 2, I couldn't get past the trashy whip. And Look 3 had me wondering why Karlie Kloss agreed to walk in his show. Kanye West once again showed in Paris and once again created an unoriginal, terribly styled, and appalling collection. A fur Peplum, an overabundance of distasteful leather, and a random pop of bone and camel pigments made for an inconsistent compilation. The boots resembled a straightjacket based on the multiple leather bandages that constructed the shoe. And a camel dress showed the ill fit of his ensembles and his amateur eye for presentation.

Beyond the lack of skill he posses, it makes nauseous that Style.com, The New York Times and other prestigious publications are willing to give his collection a critique and will attend his show, when other talented designers are yet to be seen. 

I hope this showcase opened the eyes of those I look up to in the biz  

And closed Kanye's for the rest of eternity.

"Ask Someone Else"

When Anna Wintour was summoned about Kanye West's debut collection she replied, "Ask someone else." In other words, she politely meant (well I think) " it sucked."

 Even the skinniest model can't wear these hideous, unflattering pants

 I don't understand, it looks like a stiletto got revamped with a chunk of obnoxious embellishments.

Take your bows on stage, not the runway

Besides being adverse to the idea of celebrity designers (besides Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, they're pure genius) I think it's ridiculous that a celebrity can easily show at Lincoln Center or I guess now in Paris.

It frustrates me that he was evaluated on Style.com.  When Honor, a beautiful up and coming line wasn't even assessed.

According to reviews, the clothes fit pOOrly and were compared to a "Baby Balmain." Kanye doesn't have a vision, he's a sham, taking bits and pieces from the established. 

Kanye-You can make another collection and embarass yourself once again, or learn the trade and maybe I'll have your back...remember that's a maybe.

You asked for your chance to grow, you get one.

Kanye as a designer-LUDICROUS.

Kayne as a music artist-I'LL ACCEPT.

Sorry Kanye, None for You.

I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but I LOVE the color white. Crisp, laconic white, I think it maybe my favorite hue.  So of course, I couldn’t resist Phobe Philo’s FORTIFYING Celine collection that came with eXhilarating simplicity, MaSter craftsmanship and a minimal color paLeTTe that included my front-runner shade.

Kanye may have rocked his women’s Celine top last season, but this is one accumulation that should not be offered to the new designer…

Which by the way irks me in all the wrong ways, but we’ll get to that later.
