They said/We said: Kanye West confirms his return to Paris Fashion Week

Comments

Ready or not, Kanye West’s PR agency, Karla Otto, has confirmed that his much-talked-about, self-titled collection will be returning to Paris Fashion Week on March 6.

On Sunday, the rapper-turned-designer tweeted, “Pardon me…do you have crepe chiffon?” Yeezy does red carpet? Might be a step in the right direction in comparison to his last production, which has been described as “being subjected to an hour long MRI scan—but not as much fun.”

So what do we know about the line so far? Well, West made clear in his now infamous Twitter rant that the name of his self-funded line is Kanye West and not DW. Also, he’s been working in London and getting some much-needed help from big-time designers but details of the show have been kept under wraps. Here’s hoping for another informative two-hour twitter post to fill in the rest of the blanks.

We have to give it to him for getting back on the horse, but if this collection is another flop we hope it will at least inspire a Taylor Swift–esque tell-all rap song?

Last night (read: 4 a.m. his time) Kanye West took to took to his preferred forum to rant, muse, and philosophize, Twitter! Never one to mince words, West produced a series of over 70 tweets about everything from his time as an undercover Fendi designer to his thoughts on the VAT tax. His tweets culminated with the announcement of his plan to create an all-encompassing think tank, DONDA. (Yeah, you’ll be hearing that word every five seconds for the rest of your life.)

We summarize his best fashion tweets »

Backstage at the Victoria’s Secret fashion show, Kanye West continues to go places where he’s not needed

Going backstage at the Victoria’s Secret fashion show is likely on every guy’s fantasy to do list. In reality, the Angels/models are actually in more clothing backstage than they are on the runway, and sorry to disappoint, but they’re too busy with hair and makeup to engage in any frivolous antics. However, this didn’t stop Kanye West. While going through a collection of backstage pics, we couldn’t help but notice his presence among Doutzen Kroes, Alessandra Ambrosio, Joan Smalls, and the other Angels. After all, the only other males backstage were those working the show, making Kanye’s picture posing stand out even more.

They said/We said: Carine Roitfeld held a vampire-themed costume party last night in Paris

Comments

Has True Blood fever hit France? In celebration of Carine Roitfeld’s new book, Irreverent, she held a vampire ball in Paris last night where fashion’s biggest stars were expected to dress up and get into character. Naturally, some were more enthusiastic than others. Riccardo Tisci showed up with fake blood dripping from his mouth and Anna Dello Russo wore a Stephen Jones X Giles scarlet swan feather headdress that she described as “aggressive.” Other partygoers like Kanye West and Karl Lagerfeld dressed as per their usual. Perhaps they didn’t get the memo. Perhaps Kanye was still mid-fit.

Is Roitfeld is a Bill or Eric fan? We’re hoping the latter.
