KANYE WEST X ADIDAS

As I’m sure that you are all aware of, Kanye West has collaborated with Adidas, creating an interesting collection relating to sportswear.

Before the show West had a voice-over which simply stated – “I’m here to crack the pavement, I want to create something better for you” but has he? The collection itself took 18 months to create and staged it with Italian performance artist Vanessa Beecoft. The selected 50 models were of all shapes and sizes, all of which appear in flesh-toned body stockings, were positioned in a military form which is a signature of Beecrofts work. With each military line of models and designs there would be a long single tone of music where they would stand and occasionally yawn, at the end of the tone the line of model would rotate and exit in a military form.

The show itself I thought was a create format as the works of Beecroft managed to intertwine with the concept of West's designs. However saying this I do prefer the thought process of the show than I do of the designs. Saying this the collection itself genuinely looks like West's wardrobe and with the reputation that he has of his opinion could this collection be his way of telling us that we should all look and dress like him??



     

The colour scheme for this collection was very neutral with earthy tones, colours that West himself wears a lot of. 

HOWEVER!

There was this one particular piece that stuck out the most (in my opinion) and that was this red and orange ensemble.  The over sized and slightly distressed top was hung over the top of bright orange tights and pair with red hot ankle boots. The model her self had red ombre hair which went with the contrasts of the garments. This ensemble was probably the brightest part of the collection, with this being mixed in with the neutural and earthy tones this ensemble made the collection more appealing as the other garments seemed to be the same thing every time.
