Kanye West Debuts New Collection At Paris Fashion Week

There is no quit in Kanye West. After critics picked and prodded at the first showing of his women's wear line in October, Yeezy returned to the big stage on Tuesday night in France at the fall/winter ready-to-wear show with his new collection for Paris Fashion Week. Diddy, Kim Kardashian, Shyne and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour were all there as 'Ye offered up what many critics described as a Givenchy-inspired look. There were leathers, backless motorcycle jackets, inventive knee-high boots, furs and go-karts -- yes, go-karts.

Comparisons to West's first showing are inevitable, even if the rapper/ producer/ overall creative spirit feels that he was unfairly judged during the first go-round. "I got treated unfairly by the press last time. Why would I want to do this?" Kanye said to a roomful of editors after deciding to cancel a pre-show collection preview.


Well, whatever doesn't kill Kanye only makes him stronger. Here's what the critics had to say about the Louis Vuitton Don's new threads.

"Yes, the dark haute-goth looks were very Givenchy-Mcqueen-Balenciaga-ish. Very. But given the scathing criticism he got last year, it's clear Kanye had better planning, better execution, and vastly better fittings this time around. Oh, and once again, his shoe fetish takes center stage. Last year it was those beaded/pearled bangle sandals. This time, sky high Feyd-Rautha-style strap boots." -- Miss Info
