It’s been a crazy week so far for Kanye West. After it was revealed through Radar Online that a sex tape featuring the rapper was currently being shopped around, Kanye’s image continues to take another hit. In addition to his love of music, Kanye also has a very public interest in fashion. So it was only a matter of time before the rapper joined the ranks of other rappers and created his own fashion line. And although his first shot at his own line of sneakers proved to be successful, his attempts at women’s clothing hasn’t been so smooth.
And despite having his girlfriend Kim Kardashian sporting the stilettos he designed, Kanye’s clothing line for women just has not taken off the way he wanted it to. And to make matters even worse, the fashion critics have been quite vocal with their disappointment in Kanye’s fashion line.
And they say it’s the criticisms of his fashion line that has caused Kanye to pull out of his spot during Paris Fashion Week.
Here’s the report:
Kanye West will not be showing his collection at Paris Fashion Week this season, WWD has learned. The rapper has long been a front-row fixture at fashion shows and has made no secret of his ambition to join the ranks of luxury designers, teaming up with Giuseppe Zanotti to create extravagantly priced shoes that were sold at Paris concept store Colette.
Critics gave his first two outings in the French capital lukewarm reviews, and in recent months, West appears to have turned his attention to styling new flame Kim Kardashian (a recent episode of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” showed him throwing out “ghetto” items from her closet). Officials at Karla Otto, which represents the Kanye West line, confirmed he would not be showing, but declined to say whether the line has been discontinued.
Still can’t take criticism I see. He’ll never get better at fashion with that childish attitude.
I heard the fashion elite celebrated when he pulled out the show. LOL damn Ye.
I saw his work and I’ve seen his styling on Kim…Kanye may love Fashion but he’s not good at it.
Kanye is really falling off. His music has gotten terrible, his fashion line is pretty much dead and now he’s dating Kim Kardashian. Just terrible. I know his mom would be disappointed in what he has become. I sure am.
This is the karma he deserves…I’m tired of him and his horrid girlfriend.
