Kanye West’s Fashion Show Descends Into Disaster


Kanye West

First rapper Kanye West offended the public by sending out a casting call for models who must be multiracial, to be featured in his new Adidas fashion line. Then, they were ferried to the shoot location which took an hour. Then, West left the models on a bus for another hour, which led to models fainting. Leaving models, who do not eat much other than air, on a bus for over an hour, is not a good idea. 

When West finally debut his latest so-called collection, it was well past the show’s start time. Once again, the clothes were dull, drab, uninspired and unoriginal. Not to mention, the models West chose do not look like real models. Real models are tall, lithe and cellulite free with bone structure that picks up the light and camera angles well. Today, anyone with an Instagram page is now a so-called model.

As stated previously in the column, the only rapper that did the fashion design jaunt correctly was P. Diddy via his Sean Jean line. Nelly’s line was cute and passable. If West was not famous no one would pay this madness of a fashion show any mind.

Kanye's Yeezy Season 4 in chaos: Guests left trapped on buses for an hour and models start FAINTING after being forced to stand in the sun at star's shambolic and delayed NYFW catwalk show 

Published: 15:55 EST, 7 September 2016 | Updated: 17:29 EST, 7 September 2016 - After holding his fashion show at Madison Square Garden in February — and combining it with an album debut and concert — the only way Kanye West could have possibly outdone himself this Fashion Week was to basically rent out an island. 

The 39-year-old rapper-cum-fashion-designer transported the New York fashion crowd to Roosevelt Island on Wednesday, inviting major magazine editors, bloggers, and street style stars to board chartered buses in Midtown Manhattan that would take them to the skinny sliver of land east of the city. There, in Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park over an hour and a half past the 3pm scheduled start time, Mr. Kim Kardashian debuted his Season 4 collection...  

However, many of those who were lucky enough to receive the mysterious invite, took to Twitter that afternoon to gripe about being trapped on the buses, which left at 1:30pm, with some taking more than an hour to arrive at the venue, even though it was less than six miles away from the pick-up point. Guests had to arrive at the bus pick-up an hour and a half before the show's 3pm star time, and New York Times Styles reporter Matthew Schneier tweeted that 'Yeezy is basically a middle school field trip'... 

But not everyone shared her enthusiasm. Gerald Flores, the editor-in-chief of Sole Collector, even live tweeted a bit of his time on the bus. 'Overheard on the Yeezy Season 4 bus: "It feels like we're being kidnapped,"' he wrote, while Elizabeth Denton, a digital editor at Allure, noted that 'everyone on the Yeezy bus is so unhappy'.

Chris Brown Sued By Graffiti Artist For Trademark And Copyright Infringement On His Clothing Line


Chris Brown
 
R&B singer, Chris Brown, has been hit with another lawsuit. Brown has roughly a dozen against him, alleging everything from assault endangerment. The latest has been filed against Brown by graffiti artist, Konfused, real name, Andre Khazrei, who obtained a trademark for his name and registered copyrights for his art work and clothing line. Kofused has been using the name since 2003.

Konfused alleges in a lawsuit that Brown recently stole his trademarked name, changing one letter to rename it Konfuzed, then using it for the singer's graffiti work and clothing line. Konfused also states Brown recently made an error and signed a painting at the Grammy Museum "Konfused" rather than "Konfuzed" which he states is a dead giveaway the singer knowingly ripped him off. In the lawsuit, Konfused demands Brown stop using the moniker and pay damages for infringing his trademark and copyrights. 

The names are extremely similar and even confused me momentarily while writing this article. Brown needs to use his own name, which he has already established anyway, because this is unquestionably causing "confusion in the marketplace" as the frequently employed legal phrase goes, regarding the subject of trademarks.

Chris Brown Sued Street Artist Konfused ... You Jacked My Tag!!!

4/6/2016 12:49 PM PDT - Street artist Konfused is just that ... after Chris Brown snatched his tag and slapped it on a clothing line ... according to the lawsuit he's filed against the singer.  In legal docs, Andre Khazrei says he's been Konfused since 2003 ... long before Breezy created the very similar artistic alter ego, Konfuzed -- and started tagging walls and signing paintings. 

Andre says he got a trademark for Konfused t-shirts and a bunch of other merch -- which is why he says Chris' Breezy Konfuzed clothing line is a total rip-off, which confuses the marketplace. His proof? In the docs, Andre says Chris himself screwed up and signed a painting at L.A.'s Grammy Museum with "Konfused" ... instead of using a 'Z.'

Kanye West's New Fashion Line Bombs


Kanye West and his boring fashion line that is getting bad reviews

Rapper, Kanye West, fancies himself a fashion designer, but many disagree. Including the Judiciary Report. And his ex-girlfriend, Amber Rose, who did not hold her tongue in her assessment of West's fashion line, reportedly stating the clothes look like they should be used to wash cars. In another insulting critique, rapper turned actor Ice T, referred to West's fashion line as futuristic slave clothes.

West's first and second fashion lines are dull, bland, ugly and uninspired. They are plain and boring. It defies comprehension that such pieces are being shown at an actual fashion week. They are being nice as West is famous, but there are suitable and worthy designers whose clothes should be shown, rather than the rapper's amateur so-called collection.
 

"Back To The Future" shoes


Kanye West's later released rip off of the "Back To The Future" shoe. People online have publicly noted the similarities between the two shoes.

West is also unoriginal. His first shoe looked an awful lot like the sneakers from the classic 1980s film "Back To The Future" that Nike put into production months before West released a look alike version of their official product (West is often sued for stealing music and is in court with rapper Jay Z for stealing a song in what is a copyright infringement case filed by a music legend).

Too often in the entertainment industry, famous people are given credit for things they are not actually doing or doing correctly, which insults the public's intelligence. Everybody's a fashion designer all of a sudden. However, the only rapper who has gotten it right is Diddy with his Sean John line.
