Kanye West - PFW

I was so excited to see Kanye West's debut at Fashion Week, fully expecting a show full of sequins and plenty of divas gracing front row. After the success of Victoria Beckham's collections, I had high hopes for fashion-forward Kanye, especially having been seen front row for most shows at NYFW. However, I couldn't help being disappointed once I saw the photos from the show. I can't be doing with too much flesh - all of the outfits are too chesty, slashed or short. I love a few pieces in particular but none stood out to me. I love the fur and stacked pearls he has used, but for me something was missing. It would be unfair to completely kill the collection, as I love the fur and leather combinations - I am definitely recreating this look with a leather tunic and furs from ebay. Kanye's shoes looked amazing on the catwalk, I am feeling like gluing pearls to my white courts as we speak. I also totally fell in love with his use of beading and embellishments on his white garments as well as the zips up the bottoms of dresses. Overall, the collection isn't bad but far from what I was expecting - out of the ordinary, extravagant designs. Instead, Kanye channeled normal, wearable looks with small details (which I love). I just feel he went all out in some areas - for example dodgy spaceman-esque, and dropped in others. Definitely trying leather with fur and pearl encrusted shoes though!
