New York Fashion Week 2015: Kanye West Adidas Collection, Victoria Beckham Debuts Fall Collection
Kanye West unveiled his Adidas Yeezy Season 1 collection along with a new song "Wolves" featuring Sia & Vic Mensa at at New York Fashion Week on Thursday. The rapper and fashion designer told Complex the show was "like the Super Bowl of culture in a way."
Kylie Jenner participated in West's show along with other models sporting the collection of wig caps, flesh-toned body stockings, tattered sportswear and oversized knits and outerwear. There were tights and lots of sheer hosiery to go along with his new Adidas Yeezy Boost sneakers.
The rapper showed his designs to a pack audience that included wife Kim Kardashian, North West and A-List guests, Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Jay Z and Beyoncé.
Baby North West threw a temper tantrum during her father's collection debut. Her cries seemed to echo the thoughts of many critics who weren't kind in their reviews of his latest fashion attempt. Bloomberg's Chris Rovzar wrote he "hated it" and described it as "a post-Apocalyptic/Depression look."
Some reviews were more positive, including ID: "He's certainly trying. Kanye's earnest commitment to fashion saw its fullest expression to date in this show, which blended artistic elements in an interesting way."
Kendall Jenner walked the runway for Alexander Wang's New York Fashion Week show on Saturday, looking like a gothic superwoman in black clothes and Frankenstein platforms. West, Kardashian and North were seated in the front row. The toddler cried loudly and squirmed in her mom's arms halfway through the show.
Sunday morning Cipriani Wall Street guests were treated to hot tea in glass cups on arrival with Victoria Beckham's Fall 2015 collection kicking things off.
Beckham's fall-winter fabrics clung to the body, and slits and cutouts bared more skin than expected of winter fashions. Some dresses had an appealing sarong-like draping from the waist down.
The New York Times described her collection, "Victoria Beckham, who has been edging her minimal, close-to-the-body aesthetic into new directions of late, this season focusing on a bias-swirl around the body. Seams twisted from waist to knees, skewing below-the-knee skirts slightly off-center; knits slouched down one side; and nubby coats were molded to nip the waist, exaggerate the hips (this worked better than it sounds, especially in trapeze-like car coats) and swaddle the shoulders."
In a post-show interview, Beckham said if there were one word to describe her collection, it would be "Bounce."
"By bounce, I mean fabrics that are young and fresh," Beckham told The Associated Press backstage.
The Beckham brood was there to support the former Spice Girl. The children were handsomely dressed, while husband David Beckham looked dapper in a long topcoat.
David Beckham recently admitted to E! News his wife helped him a great deal in developing fashion sense.
"She has given me a lot of fashion advice over the years. She's got a pretty good eye," he told E! News. "When I was younger -- I looked back and thought ... what was I thinking? But I think everybody does that."
The New York Times reported the Met's Costume Institute is starting off the show Monday morning with an invitation-only presentation of the spring exhibition, "China: Through the Looking Glass," followed by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen of The Row, Carolina Herrera and Tommy Hilfiger, respectively.
