Preface
Fashion and individuality have always been hot topics. But in the eyes of some people, it seems that fashion can also be "dictatorial"! Speaking of "fashion dictator", who do you think of? Yes, it is Kanye West, the legendary figure in the fashion industry. This Chinese music superstar is not only outstanding in music, but also in fashion.
His wife's outfit can be described as a makeover, plastic surgery, and completely transformed them into his ideal fashion icons. The outside world blamed him for this, thinking that he was suppressing his wife's personality.
But Kanye's unique dedication and innovation in fashion also make people have to face up to his expansion in the fashion industry. So, just how big is the magic of this "fashion dictator"?
1. Music, fashion, business... Kanye's omnipotence!
A musician with unique skills, an entrepreneur who conquers the world with his talent, and a design master who dominates the fashion industry - this is Kanye West, nicknamed "Kanye". He is undoubtedly one of the most outstanding all-rounders of his time.
From his debut film "The College Dropout" in 2004 to his later classics such as "Late Registration", "Graduation", and "808s & Heartbreak", Kanye's music is in a leading position in rhythm and songwriting, and his influence has spread all over the world.
However, Kanye was clearly not satisfied with roaming the music road alone, and he set his sights on the business world early on. Kanye's clothing brand, Yeezy, and music company, GOOD Music, have both achieved remarkable results. In particular, the Yeezy collection, which collaborated with Adidas, quickly became the darling of the fashion circle with its bold and avant-garde design concept.
What's even more remarkable is that Kanye himself is an excellent fashion designer! He has a unique opinion on color, style, and fit. Kanye's clothing not only shows his extraordinary artistic talent, but also reflects his thinking and interpretation of culture. No wonder he is one of the most influential fashion designers of our time.
Unconsciously, Kanye has left his figure in many fields such as rap, business, and fashion. Some say he's an all-around artist, while others say he's simply omnipotent! This is perhaps Kanye's greatest charm - always ready to surprise you one by one. In what field will he set off a bloody storm next? Let's wait and see!
2. Kanye's fashion transformation of his wife
In the fashion industry, Kanye West can be described as an out-and-out face finisher. He can be said to have a makeover in the way his wives dressed, completely transforming them into his own fashion fantasies!
Do you remember Kim Kardashian's style of dressing? full of earthy taste! Flesh-revealing tights, fancy dresses, exaggerated accessories...... She is simply a counterexample of fashion. But after marrying Kanye, the image of this authentic housewife was instantly forgotten.
Kanye's "advanced makeover" of Kardashian can be called a successful cosmetic surgery! He personally selected clothes for his wife, instructed him to match makeup, and basically wore them every day with ingenuity. Kanye abandoned Kardashian's original fancy and green style, and instead focused on a single and simple high-end fashion route.
In this way, overnight, this woman who was labeled as "earthy" in the past has become a fashion trendsetter! Just looking at her wearing that jumpsuit that perfectly shows off the curves of her body is enough to reflect Kanye's extraordinary vision.
However, Kanye seems to have hidden selfishness in Kardashian's transformation. It wasn't until the final divorce that Kardashian realized that she might have fallen into the dilemma of "low-class dressing" again......
And his current wife, Bianca Sensori, is more like Kanye's handy sacrifice. The actress is completely at the mercy of her husband's advice and mercy, and allows her to package herself into strange shapes.
The whole body is wrapped in flesh-colored "living mummy", "baotou shape", "tight black pants + special headdress", every exposure is like a live broadcast of her fashion transformation. Bianca is like a walking coat hanger at the mercy of others, used to interpret Kanye's increasingly advanced and abstract fashion concepts.
Some people say that Kanye is suppressing his wife's personality and making them lose themselves. But who can deny that it was he who gave these two ordinary women a unique fashion distinctiveness? Perhaps in Kanye's place, they have always been experiments born for fashion......
3. The outside world's evaluation of Kanye's influence
Whether it is the former Kim Kardashian or the current wife Bianca, they have become "another person" under Kanye. This rap superstar with a unique fashion vision may find it difficult to get rid of the hat of "fashion dictator"!
Regarding Kanye's strong control of his wife's dress, there have always been different voices in the outside world. Many people pointed out that he was wantonly concocting and changing his face, completely erasing his wife's personality and demeanor. Take Bianca, for example, who used to be a fashion celebrity with her own style, but now she is packaged by Kanye as a strange "walking model".
Indeed, the ultimate goal of fashion is to highlight one's personality and show one's unique charm. But Kanye is precisely using his own aesthetics to reshape his wife's fashion image. It inevitably makes people think that he is "dictatorial".
However, when you think about it, there is actually a dialectical relationship between fashion and individuality. The pursuit of individuality is not necessarily the same as laissez-faire, sometimes moderate guidance and shaping can make personal charm more prominent.
Kanye's influence on his wife's dressing is, in the final analysis, to give them new styles and colors through his own artistic perspective. Although his approach is somewhat unusual, he has finally pushed his wives to a higher level of fashion.
Just like when he completely transformed Kardashian from a "local girl" to a trend leader, it undoubtedly proved his extraordinary fashion control. Looking at Bianca now, although the shape is avant-garde and weird, it also reflects Kanye's fanatical pursuit of fashion trends and innovation ability.
It can be seen that the reason why Kanye is questioned is largely because he is at the forefront of fashion. As a pioneer, he is destined to endure the criticism and doubts of others. But at the same time, his innovation and influence on fashion are also obvious to all.
Fourth, the influence of Kanye's fashion concept
Fashion has always been a highly personal and subjective field. But with Kanye West, fashion is more like a code, a new aesthetic law. Whether it is his dressing or his fashion control of his wife, it shows a unique concept and taste.
This philosophy deeply influenced and transformed his lover in the first place. The former Kim Kardashian and the current Bianca, from an unknown passer-by, were single-handedly built by Kanye into fashion trendsetters. Their once old-fashioned and casual nature disappeared under Kanye's ears and eyes, and instead showed an unprecedented fashion taste.
This kind of taste is Kanye's unique "Kan-style fashion". It seeks to be unique, even a little edgy and bizarre. Just like Bianca's latest "headdress bandage" and "black robe flesh-colored look", even if it is criticized, it also reflects Kanye's enthusiasm for retro avant-garde.
This unique aesthetic vision has made Kanye an out-and-out "outlier" in the fashion circle. He tends to be condescending to the established trends and customs, and likes to discount them in order to establish his own personal style. You could say that he is extremely "egoistic", but this "wildness" is precisely the source of his charm.
Whenever Kanye launches a new work, even if it is controversial and criticized, it can always set off a new trend of thought in the fashion industry. This is the source of his strength to "expand his territory" day by day. Although he is loved and hated, he has never lost his passion and pursuit of fashion.
All of this is condensed in Kanye's dressing of his wife. You may not be surprised by those shocking looks, but there's no denying that they represent a new fashion force on the rise. This power comes from one person's ideas and obsessions, and it is bound to shake up the entire fashion industry in the end.
epilogue
People often hold different views and evaluations of Kanye's fashion ideas and practices. Supporters see it as a pioneer and open up new horizons for the fashion industry; Opponents argue that he is too assertive and suppresses the individuality of others.
It is undeniable that Kanye did use his unique aesthetics to bring a "makeover" fashion transformation to his wives. What he gifted to Kim Kardashian and Bianca Sensori was his understanding and interpretation of fashion trends. In his opinion, perhaps this is the real way of fashion.
But at the same time, Kanye's control of his wife's dress also makes people feel that he is "dictatorial". Fashion is all about innovation, but it also needs to be personal. If you are completely molded as a "walking hanger" and lose yourself, is that a little contrary to the original purpose of fashion?
Overall, Kanye's influence on the fashion industry is unquestionable. He challenged the norm and set new trend indicators. It is only in the pursuit of innovation at the same time, but also should be moderately respectful of the personality characteristics of others, which is the ultimate goal of fashion development.
After all, true fashion freedom not only comes from the imagination of the designer, but also from the inner confidence and uniqueness of the wearer. Perhaps with such a balance, Kanye's "fashion dictatorship" can be more complete.
