Fashion trends often make no sense until people start following them and they blow up. That's when you'll see Agent Gibbs wearing his APC uniform with mismatching socks and an angry look on his face.

I spat coffee all over my keyboard over that mental image.....you sir get 50 internet's for that!
You're telling me. Kanye already fucked up by putting them on people.
I agree and so do many others. Kanye West only cares about what Kanye West thinks about Kayne West's clothes. So to him these clothes are amazing. Because no one loves themselves as much as he loves himself.

I love how Beyonce and the white woman on the other side of Kim both have the "trying to be polite in public while really thinking 'Will someone shut this loud ass baby up?'" face.
Back to the topic, Kanye was so inspired by Macklemore's success with Thrift Shop that he decided to make an entire clothing line based off of grandpa's hand-me-downs.
Doesn't everything look like dogshit during fashion week? But then designers take concepts from the fashion line and make something sensible.
Also agree with the sentiment that designers can do whatever as long as it's not blatantly stealing other's works. People will like it because who is telling them it's cool.

I mean, is it showing off the clothing line or the shoes?
Because the shoes look pretty dope.

Ye actually rocks them the best
Vivienne Westwood used Zoolander as her inspiration too.
I think that'd be tough unless one of us is familiar with a popular design that has been knocked off by designers other than the original. I was unaware of this idea from 'The Devil Wear Prada' but I assumed that retail stores getting similar designs is because of the popularity of designs from fashion shows. I did a quick google and there are articles about the progression of fashion from the runway to the retail store.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
So what I'm getting is this is about the shoes and not the clothes. Right?
Sorry admittedly I don't understand fashion shows. I'm a pleeb and figured stuff worn at fashion shows was the stuff that ended up on the rack at high end stores. No, I don't shop at high end stores to have been able to verify this theory.

WTF at this one in particular? He looks like he's about to slit his wrists...
Another thing that Back to the Future 2 predicted:
Omg, it's the right year too. Goddam, where's that overboard?

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
Every pic in the OP is an eyesore, Men's fashion is tragic.
I really like how Rih and Bey were dressed @ the event though. Rihanna serving Final Fantasy X Lulu realness

Those kanye shoes are going for supposebly 350 my cousin is going to buy them during all star weekend smh they look horrible imo maybe it's the color scheme that's putting me off.
I could be completely wrong, but I think it goes along with the idea that models are supposed to be blank slates for the designers to decorate. Like, they're literally just living mannequins...not all happy and waving to people on the runway.
God fucking damnit I really hope full body hose takes off. I hope that shit becomes the new yoga pants.
It's gonna be one helluva summer.
if it comes to pass, I'm just gonna be homeless all summer and live in a tree with some binoculars
like, real talk, I think I've found a new fetish...fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

I take it you don't pay much attention to the 'fashionista' forums or fashion industry. everything kanye has done has been more or less dumped on.
it's usually not a straight line, but I've noticed lately that say, valentino or burberry do a number of studded items and in a year or so I see studded backpacks and what not at target.
this example is a mix of men and women's footwear moving in a cycle but i always find it amusing as it is so specific:
original german army training shoe from the 70s-80s. iirc they were about $50-$80, and you can sometimes find them online (getting harder due to popularity).
maison martin margiela german army trainer reproduction from the 00s - today. keep in mind that this is part of the replica line, and the tag states the design's provenance. they retail for $400 or so:
over time the margiela 'german army trainer' model took on some variations, one popular one being a velcro-strapped high top. iirc these have been around for 6 or so years. BTW these margiela shoes came in men's and women's varieties, with different colorways or detailing:
a few of years ago, another upscale designer, isabel marant, released this women's sneaker:
and shortly afterward, you could pick these up in target:
thus is the fashion circle of life. i've only been paying attention to this stuff for about 12 years or so, and I've noticed that over the last handful of years the 'trickle down' effect has compressed greatly and usually only takes a season at max to see. though at the same time, as you can see, stuff 'trickles up', too.
