kim k is not a supermodel :camby: she's a passed around whore who got famous off a sextape.
LOL
You know I thought about responding to that comment. I'm with you.

But then I thought....well...Kim Kardashian kind of IS a model and she is super famous and rich...so...I guess she is a supermodel.

It's just that we typically think of supermodels as Tyra Banks or Giselle Bundchen.

He's a fashion icon. He just is.


Not seeing it, breh.

I realize that when people start throwing out the names of fashion icons, the list is overwhelmingly white. So you're kind of toeing a fine line by mentioning Beckham, Gosling, JFK, Hepburn...etc.
But there are people one could mention ahead of Kanye West.

I mean, Fab Five Freddy was more of a fashion guru than Kanye.
But this was 25 years ago and the style was dated, so people will laugh.

:manny:

i guess paris hilton is too then :yeshrug:
This is a lie.

Kanye is definitely a fashion icon.
besides his old infatuation with louis vuitton, what fashion trends has he started? within hip hop? what fashion trends of his have transcended hip hop?
Cam'ron is a fashion icon, had everybody rocking pink, and than that transcended hip hop, and pink has been fashionable ever since.
Kanye has done no such thing.

nikkas dont know what a fashion icon is, if Kanye is a fashion icon so is Jay-Z and DMX and so on.
nikka, you don't know anything about this

What you fail to realize is Kanye been on some different shyt since the 2000's

Pink polo & his backpack. He's always been different, this isn't a new phase with Kanye

You just want to argue, so lets go.

1. Kanye is black.

2. There are NO other black males at the forefront of black fashion like Kanye is. Not even designers and Kanye has literally put on several brands by wearing and promoting them

3. no other black entertainer has not only promoted fashion, but engaged and influenced how others wear their clothes

4. your list shows inherent racism simply because whites don't approve

5. fab five was a clown in clown clothes

6. Kanye introduced black fashion in a way no one had really done before. Sure pac and biggie wore versace, but they didn't LIVE that versace life. They didn't rock it and embrace it and transcend it.

Anytime Ye rocks something it FLIES out of stores and literally transforms brands and how people look at what they wear.

Jay Z is not nor is DMX

Stop naming random rappers just to name them.

Y'all are just scared to name a black entertainer without upsetting your list of white celebs.

Stop confusing trends with fashion.

Ye has introduced certain brands BEFORE others, certain designers BEFORE others, and consistently don more to push the face of black fashion than others. This is more than colors.

This is about fit, finish, overall look and aesthetic.

Ye is more high fashion than anyone else in his lane outside of the handful of blakc male models there even are.
