YEEZY X ADIDAS ORIGINALS - SEASON 1

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.

Thats miss Kylie Jenner in the front row, if y'all did not notice. 

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$.

Rihanna for River Island - Exclusive shopping event.

So yesterday I went to Amsterdam, to check out the 'Rihanna for River Island' collection. We were invited by PR agency Oona. Actually I got invited by Itza from Made by chickies. She could not make it, so she sent me a message monday evening, asking me if I wanted to go instead. As soon as I heard the name Rihanna, my mind freaked out. Rihanna is someone I look up to in so many ways. I love her, so I was very happy that Itza asked me. The next day we left at 16u in Antwerp. When I got there, there was a VIP bus waiting, with leather seats, and Rihanna advertising on the outside. The girls from Oona did a great job, taking care of us. They catered us with drinks, yummy lunchboxes, and cupcakes. During the drive, we got to watch the DVD of Rihanna's tour, which was a nice addition to our luxury arrangement. Once we got to the store, the music was pumping, food and drinks were being served, models (men dressed in female clothing) were striking their best poses, and a lot of people were shopping for Rihanna goodies. I immediately started scanning the racks, the first thing I picked up was the gorgeous cap. I fell in love with it instantly. I also got a grey basic Tshirt, and a denim cropped top.  I loved the collection. Basic, but with a subtle edge to it. Minimalistic, but with a lot of UMPH. Fierce, sexy, and super feminine. I also bought some ear cuffs, gold and silver, and a cross shaped ring. I will do some outfit posts, wearing the clothes I got. A fun surprise was that we all received a 20% discount. So that wasn't too shabby! 

I met some really nice people. Usually I'm skeptical about meeting new people, especially girls. I don't know why, but in the fashion industry, very often people treat each other like crap. But that was not the case AT ALL. We had a great time, and I really want to thank Itza for giving me the opportunity to meet them, and also a huge shout out to Oona for taking care of us. The 'Rihanna for River Island' collection can be bought online and in River Island stores. For you people who live in Antwerp. Be sure to check the collection out. You can find the store on the Meir. Right next to the Zara shop.
