They said/We said: Kanye West confirms his return to Paris Fashion Week
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?
THEY SAID:
Fashionista: “It will obviously be interesting to see what happens this time. He’s clearly passionate and wants to succeed and was not blind to the criticism, so this collection will have to be an improvement, right? Hope he performs well under pressure!” [Fashionista]
Telegraph: “They say once bitten, twice shy, but fear is not an emotion that majorly factors in the psyche of your average hip hop legend. Notably not Kanye West’s at any rate.” [Telegraph]
WE SAID:
Bernadette Morra, editor-in-chief: “If he builds it, I will come. But I will be honest about what I see.”
