Kanye West’s fashion empire has been a questionable one since its start. While we have to admit it’s beginning to grow at a more heightened speed than before, there are still mixed reviews on whether his design aesthetic has officially made a mark in this industry.
Well now, a verdict has finally been voiced, and to the surprise of many, it’s in Yeezy’s favor. Damien Paul, head of menswear at online retailer, Matches Fashion, shared his thoughts about New York Fashion Week: Men’s with the Observer, and came to the conclusion that Kanye West is America’s top fashion designer. We’ll give you a moment to let that sink in.
“I would say that our biggest American brand for Autumn Winter is Yeezy. It has just had such an impact already,” said Paul when asked about the site’s American designers for the fall season. There’s no doubt that West is making a major name for himself in the fashion market – especially with how fast the Yeezy Boost sneakers sold out worldwide. But looking at a wider spectrum, there are still critics who aren’t convinced that West will remain a significant force.
“There is focus on the ‘haters’, let’s say (in some fashion commentaries) when actually everyone really forgets about how many fans there are out there. He’s a very stylish guy. We are emersed in a really creative world.”
