I just came in here to say Kanye West isn't a fashion icon to Black inner city youth...Maybe he is in other communities, but I can only speak on the environment that I'm around most..The stuff he wears isn't accessible, affordable or practical... Stop letting these culture vulture Euro Cacs and Black elitists rewrite our history..

I'm everywhere they ain't never there

Yall be easy...

I had a beautiful day celebrating two of my nieces' birthdays today at a picnic/cookout by the river today.

Not sure whether to be happy that a thread I created did well with so many replies...or whether to be annoyed because a certain coli member acted like a straight bytch nikka trying to convince the coli that every black man's style is the result of Kanye West's dress code.

The reality is, I don't give a fukk.
Kanye West has never influenced a god damn thing I've ever worn. He's never mentioned a fashion line that I didn't know about or influence me to care about them. And literally nobody I know or have ever come across has been influenced or has based their style off Kanye West.

Is Kanye West a fashion icon? That was my question when I created this thread.

It appears to some people that he is. And that's wonderful for them. And wonderful for Kanye West. I sincerely mean that.

But he's not a fashion icon to me. And I really don't give two fukks to debate it.


You're not even black. You don't even look slightly black. You look like a fat ugly abomination.

FYI:
Like some one else posted. Fashion editorials usually have on a ton of layers to show off multiple pieces in fewer pages.

Also, this may be a August cover but the clothes featured are for fall. Fashion is always at least season ahead because they want the consumers to have time to first know the trends then buy them in store. In Retail, Fall clothes start selling after the 4th of July.

I know a lot of you cats cant dress for shyt, (i love ya'll, but) the coli is full of country bamma nikkas who have no idea what fashion is(I see them club pics nikkas be postin :russ:), which is why you see so many dumb/ignorant post in this thread. I know a lot of cats on here don't live next to or in fashion forward cities.

I think a lot of you guys are getting dressing well and fashion mixed up, they are not the same.

Kanye is a fashion icon period. Seems like you guys don't know how much he has influenced urban/hip-hop fashion. You can say you don't fukk with him or whatever but the fact is it's a trickle down effect, whether you like it or not, dude changed the game. You have to accept that.

90% of the people who knew about APC did so after Kanye.

Lets not play games here.

Sure, there ARE some people who are "clued in" but a vast majority of them are not.

Kanye will singled handedly cause prices to rise on certain items.
You don't need to convince or debate with me about it bro... I already stated I agreed with your point...

Dude, in general, you need to take it easy... You debate so much on here, you must be a chore to be around in real life... Get some p*ssy breh... Loosen up...
