Kanye West was spotted it in the front row at Louis Vuitton, in a teal T-shirt, khakis and a denim jacket accessorized with a Michael Jackson button and a chunky red Lego heart, LV scarf billowed from his back pocket.
On Day 2, West was wading through the human stew outside Kris Van Assche and Junya Watanabe in a gray notch lapel blazer and red pocket square. On Day 3, the look was brown leather with a crisp black detachable hood and slim-fitting gray dress shirt buttoned up to the chin and a pair of spotless white Vans lace-ups.
Of course, each day West made a sartorial statement of his own. But none as strong as on Day 4, when he turned out to the Dior Homme show in a zip-front hoodie with shoulder patches and a red-, yellow- and pink-striped hood topped with a shark fin. The hoodie — and as it turned out, many of the pieces he wore during the week — were from his own, long-awaited clothing collection, called Pastelle. And we’d been witness to a kind of show within a show.
“I like the experience of it — it’s like a festival, everybody out here fell in love with clothes at some point in their life. . . . I’m soaking in every bit of information that I can.”
Which can only mean one thing: It can’t be too long before West ends up taking a bow in front of a Fashion Week crowd instead of being just another face in it.
