Sep 21, 2015 so much badass design and so well put together. I'm waiting on Ye to make a point about form follows function. Yo Immy, chill. We aren't supposed to be getting these pieces. He's trying to wow the highly snobish fashion culture first.

Kanye West’s YEEZY Season 2 – much like YEEZY Season 1 before it – will no doubt go down as one of the biggest presentations of the 2015 fashion calendar. While much has been made of YEEZY Season 2’s disheveled look and aesthetic similarities to its predecessor, it’s worth remembering that Kanye is still very much at an early stage in his fashion career. When the first installment of his Yeezy.Supply project launched, Kanye made it very clear that he considered himself a curator rather than a designer; pulling various influences together to package them in a new way, rather than creating an aesthetic entirely of his own. Never one for mincing his words, Yeezy told Style.com‘s Dirk Standen regarding YEEZY Season 1: “You guys know my f---ing influences. I’ve got four influences and it’s written all over the face, you know the combination. Just as much as Drake is influenced by Kanye West, you know my f---ing influences. You see Raf Simons right there, you see Helmut, you see Margiela, you see Vanessa [Beecroft – who directed the presentations for both YEEZY Seasons 1 & 2]” With that in mind, we thought it appropriate to break down some of the aesthetic similarities running through Kanye’s latest sartorial venture. visvim’s Noragi jackets Hiroki Nakamura’s Japanese label has garnered a cult following worldwide with its heritage aesthetic that mixes Japanese craftsmanship with an adoration of all things Americana. It seems that Kanye, who has regularly been spotted in the brand’s legendary FBT sneaker, took inspiration from visvim’s Japanese Noragi jackets for this particular piece. If the buyers we’ve spoken to are to be believed, then the Yeezy.Supply clothing will certainly match visvim’s artisanal production quality, too. Silent by Damir Doma’s Earthy Color Palette One of the most prominent features of both YEEZY Seasons 1 and 2 (and the clothes Kanye wears himself, for that matter) is the muddy color palette used throughout the pieces. A stark departure from his rainbow-tinged Polo, BAPE and Pastelle days (or even his all-leather Givenchy days), Ye’s fondness for khaki, nude, clay and putty appears to be a nod to Croatian-German designer Damir Doma’s Silent label, whose collections typically revolve around earthy hues and heavily washed fabrics. Haider Ackermann’s Oversized Sweaters Boxy, voluminous sweaters are an integral part of Kanye’s new grungy, disheveled aesthetic – both on the runway (or “parade ground” as he’d put it) and on his own back. Yeezy has been spotted many times in oversized sweatshirts from Haider Ackermann, who has made the one-size-too-big look something of a calling card. West most notably showed love for the Colombian designer with the velour hoodie and silk bomber that saw heavy rotation following the 2015 Grammy’s – and Ackermann’s influence appears to have made its way into YEEZY Season 2, which features a whole ton of baggy, oversized crewnecks and hoodies. It’s likely that these will be among the most commercially successful pieces of the collection – bar the footwear, of course – and it appears that some high street retailers are already ripping them off. No surprises there, then. Maison Margiela’s Nude Bodysuits While most of the streetwear world’s coverage has centered on the menswear portion of the YEEZY Season 2 line, it’s important to remember that Kanye’s latest venture includes a whole ton of womenswear too. Margiela-esque nude bodysuits were used throughout the collection’s women’s looks, paired with heels or the Yeezy 950 Duck Boot. Kanye hasn’t been shy in his adoration for the legendary Parisian house – who designed the masks and furry high-top sneakers used throughout the blockbuster Yeezus tour – and it appears that the flesh-hued women’s gear is his way of paying tribute to the house that Margiela built. Mrs. Kardashian-West has been wearing a lot of nude lately, too; hardly surprising given Kanye’s fondness for dressing his wife himself. Rothco’s Raw Function Army outfitter Rothco has made a notable footprint on Kanye’s apparel creations, as military fatigue-style apparel constitutes a large portion of both YEEZY Season 1 & 2. Aside from a strong assortment of militaristic ready-to-wear, Kanye’s collection alongside adidas Originals also included the duck boot-inspired Yeezy 950, which was locked down with unmissable Operation Desert Storm overtones, not without signature speed lacing. Moreover, attendees to the recent NYC showing received their invites in the form of a screenprinted Rothco longsleeve shirt. Helmut Lang’s Distressing and Dystopian Aesthetic Kanye’s subtle appropriation – aside from one YEEZY Season 1 vest that is essentially a replica of a Helmut Lang version – of Lang characteristics is a defining aspect of both the first and second YEEZY Season collections. Palpably dystopian silhouettes match well with distressed detailing, raw hems, rough tailoring and muted colorways.

Sep 24, 2015 http://www.dazeddigital.com/fashion...-talking-about-how-political-kanye-s-show-was Why aren't we talking about how political Kanye's show was? Spoiler: click for text but better yet check the site! Backstage at Yeezy Season 2 x22 Yeezy Season 2 In the flood of news stories and pap pics of the starry front row that emerged from what has been the most talked-about event of fashion month yet, few have analysed the actual composition of the presentation itself. Its similarity to the first season of Kanye West’s Yeezy show might have had the audience confused as to whether they were seeing the same thing repeated. Upon closer inspection, the make-up of Yeezy Season 2’s tableau had some striking differences to its predecessor. The Yeezy army metaphor was taken a step further by both Kanye West and artist Vanessa Beecroft, who also created the performance of the inaugural show. The first group of models in ballet beige – deliberately platinum blonde and eerily Aryan looking – filed out and fell in line in accordance with their drill sergeant barking at them. The second row, gradated in a darker beige and matching up with the Asian and brunette models, also fell right in line and marched forward. The third line-up of all black models in their darker taupes and light browns, when asked to fall in line, meandered forward in haphazard fashion. The final group of darker-skinned black models dressed in dark browns and blacks trudged out lifelessly. When the entire cast filed out together in their utilitarian garb, shaded like a skin foundation counter, this didn’t feel like an empowered army but an imprisoned one. There was something uncomfortable about the set-up. The choreography seemed to deliberately conform to stereotypes that West himself has fought through his lyrics to dispel. Most markedly, Ian Connor, was singularly and very purposely smoking like he didn’t give a s---, as his model cohorts stood deadly still. Lo, the lone rebel, who won’t fall into line, and happens to be black. It couldn’t be more overt in its reference to the racial inequalities of America and beyond. In a brief backstage interview with vogue.com, West insisted he was just creating a “painting” where the clothing became a canvas for colour. And yet it’s hard not to read into the choreography of the show as West’s personal piece of social commentary. The blackest of black people enslaved. The whitest of white people following orders like minions. And in between, dissidents flouting the rules. “It’s hard not to read into the choreography of the show as West’s personal piece of social commentary. The blackest of black people enslaved. The whitest of white people following orders like minions. And in between, dissidents flouting the rules” The clothes in contrast were straightforward. In comparison to West’s first attempts at high fashion back in 2011, where he opted for over the top “in yer face” embellishment, here the layers have been stripped back. In an interview with style.com, West was clear that he now has the facilities to create something relatively inexpensive (in comparison to his first stab at high fashion). There’s a no-nonsense directness about the clothes and the role they play for West’s hard-core fan base, who flocked to the cinema to see a screening of the show. They’ll sell in their droves – just look at the 9,000 Yeezy adidas trainers that flew out of the shops in ten minutes. In a week where message, sentiment and gesture were often the biggest talking points, this show slotted right in. The performance lingered. As do questions. Is West saying society is penned in by the colour of the skin? Has he yet again backtracked on himself, when just in February, he said: “Racism is a distraction to humanity. We’re all the same race. To even focus on the concept of race, it’s like – perhaps people give me an extra cookie for the fact that my colour palette is so controlled and I’m black.” The frustration that has prompted West’s numerous race-related comments over the years doesn’t seem to have diminished, judging by Yeezy 2. And if he does indeed fulfil his promise to run for president of the United States in 2020, perhaps he’ll attempt to solve the problem that his army of models seemed to articulate.
