And, no he is not a fashion icon. Just because you can wear outlandish clothing and can memorize the names of fashion designers that doesn't mean you're a fashion icon. If that was the case then Asap Rocky would be one too. Yes, I'll admit at one point he had little kids rocking those white shades and backpacks but it wasn't to the point where everybody in the god damn world was rocking it. For him to be called a fashion icon he needs to have a greater influence on people and I have yet to see that offline. Anyways, I think it's too soon to throw fashion icon titles at these celebs. Let's give him some more time and let's see where he goes with his fashion.

Uh, yes she is. She recently made some designer's website crash from too much traffic after wearing some dress at an event. It was reported the next day that the dressed she wore was sold out in 24 hours. That's a fashion icon. She has influence and an impact on the masses.

Kanye shuts websites down too with his clothing releases. Whats YOUR point?

His collab with APC just wrecked their site within minutes of its launch.

She doesn't bring anything new to the table, ok the dress sold out... people like her bytch is royalty.

shyt Michelle Obama wears sells out, is she an icon? Nothing new or innovative about her style, Jackie O was more of an "fashion" icon.

Just expose these frauds.

Ask them a white dude who isn't directly in fashion but has as much of an impact on fashion Kanye does.

They can't do it.

Ye is literally bigger than the people he influences but they can't stand to give him any credit.

Whats inaccurate about this?

Name a non-black entertainer of ANY sort doing this and exposing this much content.

I'll admit it since no one else will:

I would have never heard or had the tolerance to appreciate most of this stuff without Ye.

And I know ya'll wouldn't either

I have already stated my point. That Kate Middleton is a fashion icon and Kanye West isn't. I haven't heard much about Kanye shutting down any designer websites after wearing and outfit to an event. So, you're telling me the particular outfit that he wore to an event was sold out the next day? Was it reported by several websites and in the news? Because I can tell you when the Kate Middleton incident happened the media was covering it from left to right.
