On October 1st, at Paris Fashion Week, Kanye West debuted his highly-anticipated clothing line, DW by Kanye West. The women’s 2012 Spring line was co-designed by Louise Goldin and properly named after his mother, Donda West. The show met with both positive and negative, yet constructive criticism.
Supporters cheered him for having a front row consisting of Anna Wintour, the Olsen twins and Alexander Wang among many, for also including color block pieces and all-white pieces that kept in tune with current fads, and for keeping the show interesting and simple dissimilar to his grandiose rap concerts. Adversaries noted that the fur and heavy leathers resembled more of a Fall design than Spring, the cut and symmetry of the fabrics did not correspond with the body types of the models, and the plunging necklines down to the navel were a bit un-wearable. Kanye West is an artist known for many things, too many to name in this given space. But, the most prominent moniker that usually comes to mind is egotistical. The title is well deserved given all of his accolades within the hip hop community, however, in this new venture he brings a fresh humility and eagerness to succeed. He shows that he is no stranger to challenging his abilities and creativity for the purpose of the craft, and whatever industry that may be.
