Yesterday was the day: Kanye West presented Yeezy season 1, his first clothing line collection in collaboration with adidas originals. There was nothing noticeable, it was a poor innovation of a basic collection. The only thing that shined was the front row which was maybe the best part of the show including Rihanna, Beyoncé + Jay Z, Justin Bieber among others. 5 things that you (maybe) don’t know about the event.
1.Did you notice who was modeling? They were models with all kinds of body shapes, but among them, there was also Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian’s little sister. Compared to the other members of the family, Kylie is not that famous, and this was her first chance to do something important. She was grateful to Kanye for giving her this opportunity.
2. Clearly the ispiration was contemporary dance, but focusing especially on one dancer: Carine Roitfeld. She is obsessed by ballet to a point that in 2013 she dedicated her entire second number of CR Fashion Book to it and one year ago posted a picture of her posing as a ballerina. Does her strap bustier belt remind you of something?
3. Kanye will also launch kidswear. Well, this is not actually confirmed, but her daughter North West, who was front rowing together with her mommy Kim, was wearing some “mignon sized” pieces of the collection, like the gilet.
4. Speaking of this gilet: it is the only item featuring Adidas Originals’ three stripes, revisited as a duvet detail.
5. During the event, Kanye presented a new song called Wolves featuring Sia and Vic Mensa from his upcoming album. And it’s certainly not a coincidence that Sia got so popular for the dancer who performed in her videos, don’t you think?
