There has been a lot of buzz about Kanye West premiering his collection called KW during the Paris fashion week. Eric Wilson wrote a review of the anticipation, collection, and the people who attended. I enjoyed reading his article because instead of just describing the looks coming down the runway, Eric goes into detail about the lighting and the venue. This helped me to understand the overall atmosphere and mood of the show. Also he included some information of why certain people that were not expected to attended decided to attend. For example, Linda Fargo, the fashion director of Bergdorf Goodman said she ran into Mr West years ago:
“We had a running commentary throughout the whole show, and he was really into it,” she said. “Everything I was reacting to, he was reacting to.”
As for the collection Eric stated that the show was confusing because Mr West's looks had leather and fur while other designers presented collections for next spring and summer. He continues to critique the fit of the garments saying, "...it was obvious that most of the clothes suffered from a poor fit. " This may have been a result from rushed fittings as Chanel Iman was flown out only the day before the show.
This model's dress is fitted but her heels may have been a size two big...
This dress is clearly to big. You can see the side cut out sticking out instead of rested on the hips.
The top of this dress is slouching because it is too big on the model's chest.
Although Eric was confused by the variety of Kanye's collection, he offers an explanation. It is because Kanye has been wanting to design for awhile and he has attending shows for about 8 years. He has had manny ideas that he wanted to express.
I love that Amy decided to use a commentary aspect when writing! I love how she keeps the original article in view but comments on what she agrees with/doesn't as well as her opinion in general! Great job Amy!!
