So social media has been buzzing about this..I admit, Kanye doesn't come of as the nicest person out there. And I've had my doubts about him in the past. But there is no denying that he is a great artist, and his style is impeccable. I think he is one of the most misunderstood people out there. Sure he has a big mouth, and he's not afraid to use it. But he stands up for what he believes in. He is such a great performer, and if you know where he came from, you would understand that he is a great artist, with a huge love for art and music. His live performances are electrifying. His lyrics take you somewhere deep, his music is filled with powerful messages. He's an inspiration to a lot of people, and what he did with Adidas, is a fresh look into his world of creativity.
So Adidas Originals has given Kanye / Yeezy the opportunity to design a collection. He did a show at NYFW, and I was really curious to see what he did.
The result was a minimalistic collection with outfits that remind me of a dope hunger games vibe. I can't help but see Jennifer Lawrence running in the jungle in this spandex outfit combined with cameo print, and forest green colors. I may sound like i'm joking around. But I love Hunger Games, I love Jennifer Lawrence, and I loved the collection.

His presentation wasn't something explosive, or dynamic. It was really introvert, models with barely any make up on, sober faces staring in the distance, slowly moving forward, row after row, to let the front camera get close on some of the gorgeous faces. In the background you could hear the first single 'Wolves' off of his new yet-untitled album. This song is a ft with Sia and Vic Mensa. Two of my most favorite people in the music industry at the moment. The track brought the whole piece together.
The front row was a mix of music and fashion elite including Alexander Wang, Rihanna, Jay-Z and Beyoncé, Cassie, P diddy, his wifey and little baby girl, and Anna Wintour.
I love the fact that Adidas has given him the chance to share his fashion with us all. I feel like, people are just hating, because he is Kanye. They don't appreciate his point of view, or creativity, because they have this personal issue with him. He has done some shady shit in the past. But who hasn't? I adore him, for having the courage, to make something so out there. Cuz let's face it.. the panty hoses, mesh all over spandex suits... not too flattering for just anyone. But the dark green color is to die for, and I love the whole forrest hobo style, with the oversized jackets, and sweaters. I would wanna own every single piece. It's a collection of good basic pieces that you can combine endlessly.
Most of the buzz concerned the Yeezy 750 Boost, one of the sneakers he designed with Adidas Originals. For my fellow Belgian readers, I have some good news. On the 28th of february, the Yeezy will be released globally. Avenue Sneakerstore in Antwerp, will be the only store in Belgium selling a limited amount of these beauties. Price is 350$.
