With friends like Kanye West, who needs a runway show?To me, it says a lot about what a sad state the fashion business must be in if the boldest headlines you can find these days concern which European designer shows West and his crutch, Amber Rose, attended.
Scratch real hard _or pay a subscription to a trade journal, if necessary _ and you’ll find true glimpses of brilliance emerging from the Spring 2010 and Pre-Fall collections of Chanel, Armani and Lanvin and Louis Vuitton, among others.
Business must be really bad if prestige labels are so starved for recognition that they’re letting attention-seekers like West & Co. distract critical eyes away from the runway. What are they doing, filming a reality show or something over there in Paris and Milan?
The notion that a show’s not “important” if recognized faces aren’t seated (an hour late) in the front row is tired. Wake me up when the nightmare known as “Kanye Goes to Fashion Week” is over.
While we're at it...let's call this a "That's Just Wrong Wednesday". This first time, we'll feature your girl Venus Williams. In a preliminary match this week at the Australian Open, Serena's big sister sent shockwaves Down Under with her choice of flesh-colored under shorts to complement her acid green tennis outfit. There's a bunch of shots of the ensemble out there on the web, and not a flattering one among them.So, that's just wrong. Right?
Correct us, if we're wrong in the COMMENT BOX (below).

You just LEAVE Kanye ALONE!!! There just nothing but HATE out there for 'Ye! He needs attention just like everybody elese. so, just leve him ALONE!!! [crying on the floor in a fetal position]
Flix, your humor's so dry I can never tell when you're kidding or not.
Dang, I'm sorry that I missed the match now. Shame on you Venus. The tease of all teases. I wonder how many sets had elapsed before those without 1080p figured out that those were booty shorts and not booty cheeks. All celebs are entitled to a fashion faux pas....or two. Couldn't have been bad for ratings though!
Kanye needs a hug, or better yet a mentor. He's no doubt a prodigy but his outbursts suggest he has some deeper issues that may need to be addressed. We can't knock him for his choice of arm-candy, though. Amber Rose is smokin' hot! Will Kanye be around as long as Timbaland and Dr. Dre? He's certainly as talented.
Hey "Anonymouses",
Thanks for the comments.
I'm just wondering if Dr. Dre's much-anticipated CD is EVER gonna come out. He's taken years to record it so it BETTER be as much of a classic as "The Chronic".
As far as celebs' entitlement to "fashion faux pas", you're right. The world would be a much more boring place without 'em.
Mr. Walton,
I'm glad YOU SAID IT! I am so over Kanye and his ridiculous antics! And Amber Rose's outfit? I've seen hookers wear more clothing! What a fashion disaster! He's so annoying, I can't even give him enough time to glance at what he wears. Now...back to fashion week...
Steph,
My patience has run thin as well. I wonder which NYC designers will make the same mistake of letting "Kamber" outshine their runway previews. Stay tuned, keep me posted, and thanks for commenting.
