It’s no surprise that Kanye West has a thing for ladies clothing, after being seen on stage wearing a very popular Celine blouse. So it is also no surprise then that Mr. West has just released the invitations to his very exclusive women’s fashion show tomorrow…which happens to be during Paris Fashion Week! Audacious little? According to several rumors stars like Beyonce and hubby Jay-Z are in attendance, along side Prince. If any fashion show will be star studded, it shall undoubtedly be Mr. Kanye West’s!
100 invitations were sent out today for “Dw” (named in honor of his mother, Donda West?) to his special guests for tomorrow’s show, Saturday October 1st, at 9:30 PM. Which stylish guests will be in attendance is unknown, but what is known is that we’re pumped to see his entire collection! We’re hoping for a smooth show, with no broken benches or set backs…Actually, we’re hoping for a controversial show because Kanye’s antics are just always entertaining! Remember Taylor Swift?
We can’t imagine the pressure Kanye is feeling right now; there is definitely a lot riding on his shoulders. Hilary Alexander, Daily Telegraph Fashion Director, recently tweeted,
…he’s a bit nervous about his Paris show.
After dropping close to $22,000 on fabric and zippers at London Trimmings, I’m hoping for something extremely grand! Asraf Loonat described K. West as being very polite, patient and surprisingly short of an expected ‘crew’. “He just had a couple people with him,” said the store owner according to BBC News online. Many are hoping to take this very expensive collection seriously; soon we will know if we can respect Kanye as a designer, not just a fame-obsessed rapper.
Reports have been made that Kanye is working with some big name designers and fashion editors to mentor his collection. Harper’s Bazaar AU Fashion Editor, Christine Centenera is rumored to be the muse and inspiration for the collection due to her being continuously present around the studios, according to ARTINFO. He’s also said to be working alongside Louise Golden for the design aspect and Giuseppe Zanotti for shoes, says Fashionologie. Stay tuned for our opinions after the debut of Kanye’s much anticipated collection tomorrow! The best of luck to Mr. Kanye West!
