Price of the "yeezy season1" has been revealed. What does /fa/ think ?
http://www.highsnobiety.com/2015/03/05/kanye-yeezy-season-1-pricing/
>knitwear will begin at €800 and wind up in the neighborhood of €1,500
>outerwear will start at around €1,600 and reach a staggering €3,500.
>underlining these steep prices, however, is absolutely top-notch quality that will give luxury houses a run for their money
Lmao.
Who remembers Kanye saying he wants everyone to be able to buy his products?
Kanye is a fucking joke, a complete hack, he has no place in the fashion industry.
"Everyone will be able to buy my clothing"
Shit.
I don't show interest nor plan to buy anything made by a nigger whatsoever.
I don't support his music, i don't support his clothes. He has no place in the fashion industry, neither are the clowns buying his stuff.
what the fuck ye
Why would anyone drop that much money on Ye? At that price point, I can shop for an actual good quality designer that will look better, and have a better level of craftsmanship.
This stuff is literally marketed to richboi Asians because no one else is dumb enough to drop money on this shit.
not copping/10
>tfw having to sell car to afford adidas
how will a adidas collab produce the quality theyre talking about
absolute bs
and its ugly and a ripp off of other shit

>Each piece is made in Italy at some of the world’s best factories, using only the finest materials.

>>9529299
>adidas can only use chinese sweatshops they use for their shit tier shoes for everything they produce
ur fucking dumb
>>9529315
>Paying €3000 for something made in a factory.
>>9529221
adidas fucks him
>>9529367
Kanye would have spoken prices before designs.
If Kanye was srs about making things cheap and accessible, he would have investigated other options.
>>9529330
Absolutely nothing that is produced in a factory deserves to be that expensive. Especially when it's ripping off other designs.
>>9529228
tell kanye that on twitter
lol
>>9529228
>I don't support his music
opiniondiscarded.jpg
>>9529206
The thing is, it will still sell.
Which disgusts me to an extent, but then again, Kanye is a fuccboi sweetheart on every level.
>>9529422
Only to gooks. Even young-money hardcore fuccbois I have spoken to say that the prices are ridiculous and they would rather drop that money or Rick / YSL / Yohji.
>>9529206
I can only see rich brown people buy his products, and that's a small market.
If you count the gay brazilian millionaires and 50 years old african-american hip hop producers, that's still a niche market.
>>9529407
adidas set the prices, not him
>>9529206
Fucking stupid im officially sick of ye
>>9529206
why wouldn't you just buy rick for that price?
I'm copping the 350's but fuck I thought he said he was making affordable what does this guy think affordable clothing is
>>9529221
lmao exactly. Kanye is a joke in the fashion industry.
Rip off other designers, ASPIRE to be fucking Zara-lite, still price your junk clothes at hundreds for fucking knock off hoodies with holes in them.
Cmon man, cmon...
Yeah I wanna take things I like to wear, aka ripping off other designers, and give them to the masses at a reasonable price... Aka not reasonable at all.
>>9529526
guhhhhh its not my fault my fashion line failed its adidas cuz I didnt set the prices and gave up control or didnt get control to do that buhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
>>9529206
This guy looks like he just climbed out of a dumpster. This is fashion?
>€1,500
>Adidas
what the actual fuck
>>9529935
correction it's yeezy season 1 lol! not just adidas :)
>>9529206
o damn i really like that black chicks vest. everything else ive seen has been really crappy.
>>9529476
A lot of new money chinks and white kanye dick suckers will buy it
>>9529206
yeezy is trying to hard, idk why he did his line with adidas except to cut costs. if he truly wanted to be recognized in the fashion scene couldn't he start an own label. he sure has money to invest i guess.
>>9529553
Nigga's a billionaire, so it's pretty obvious he's out of touch. Dude probably thinks Visvim is cheap.
>>9529952
As a new money chink, I can attest to this man's sound judgement
>>9529228
>dont support his music
you must have shit taste

>>9530210
So because he doesn't listen to Kanye he has shit taste in music? Fuck outta here.
>>9529228
fuck off

nothing wrong with factories

>paying thousands for knockoff pieces "designed" by nigger manlet
>>9530472
>nothing wrong with factories
unless those factories are in third world countries filled with underpaid workers.
Kanye West is better than Helmet Lang, Rick Owens & Raf Simons. He is the hero the the fashion industry needs but doesn't deserve.
>>9529206
800 euro for a knit isn't what is necessarily bad, it's just if its 800 euro, I'm going to buy something from a high fashion brand, and not from a made in china adidas colab
Putting aside whether Kanye or not is a bag of dicks, the adidas name and quality that comes with it doesn't demand that price point
you guys keep talking about Adidas's quality but it was good enough for Rick and Raf. and everyone is cool with spending hundreds on that collab
>>9530819
underpaid workers who determined working at the sweatshop is better than whatever other options they had, all on their own. cry somewhere else socialist.
Lol, everything in this probably cost <$2 to churn out. Not to mention Kanye West is probably a good contender for the stupidest, most ignorant person alive
>>9531202
But for knits and jackets... we've only had pricey kicks before and that's palatable but adidas isn't known for their quality outerwear etc. I think it will sell well because there are a large number of cashed up consumers who aren't necessarily there for the quality but the recognition/hype. It's sad
this shit looks like down syndrome 90s helmut lang
>2k15
>being cucked by a black manlet
>>9531262
adidas certainly has the ability to make high quality shit....
>>9531267
and it's more expensive than archival helmut lang incl pigfuck tax
: - D
>>9531279
Kayne's cool and all and the clothes was also p cool but I'd pay tops $100 for any of those pieces. For those price points I'd rather buy rick somthin.
Damn, I really wanted one of those knits. And some of the jackets were kinda cool
>>9529266
>At that price point, I can shop for an actual good quality designer that will look better, and have a better level of craftsmanship.
Sounds exactly like something that would be said in a Windows vs Apple debate. It's simply a status symbol.
>>9529514
If you seriously think that Kanye has no say whatsoever how the collections is priced as the designer then you need your head checked.
In the event that Adidas actually doesn't alllow him to say jack shit about the pricing then his previous critiscism against Nike for constraining him when he was working with them is actually hilarious since he was singing Adidas praises for the freedom, and then it turns out he doesn't even have a say in pricing.
Ridiculous how he talks like he want to make pricing on zara levels and they end up way up there with most expensive designers, for what's essentially a collection of knockoffs.
This is Margiela in '98. Can anyone source any other images from the runway?
It looks incredible similar. I'm ok with Kanye being derivative in this sense, but when he hypocritically goes against his ethos and charges more than the original work that he is inspired by it's just absurd.
>>9531636
OOPS *Helmut Lang
>>9531660
You forgot newmoney asians
good for elitists like me
>>9531684
Asians are the most hypebeast niggas alive are you serious
>>9529206
lows only €190?
will def cop
who the fuck will pay €800 for some knitwear though
>>9531699
Not urban asians they flock to the culture
>>9531716
except with more money
>>9531699
This is what the normal under 21 asian looks like
>>9531729
Forgot pic
>>9531636
in no way similar
just because he also incorperated bullet proof vests means nothing
even Krissvanassche did that fw14
they have literally nothing in common
>>9531206
hahahaha yeah thats how it works
>>9531758
i know it's the same
it's one piece you mong
just because dior homme uses derbies every year, doesn't mean its the same collection god dammit
>>9531741
Except those kva vests didn't have the same obvious similarity to the Helmut ones..
>>9529206
After the tantrum he threw about wanting to get into fashion, you'd expect something a bit better
>>9531741
KVA is as much of a fraud as Kanye is
>>9531758
i mean have you even seen the show?
completely different from anything hl has ever done
>>9531741
pics?
>>9529206
I mean the menswear is derivative garbage but the womenswear is a joke, is that the best he could come up with?
>>9531775
It's a simple google away holy shit how are u that useless, just google "Kris van assche fall/winter 14 menswear"
>>9531770
"You guys know my influences. I’ve got four influences and it’s written all over the face, you know the combination. Just as much as Drake is influenced by Kanye West, you know my influences. You see Raf Simons right there, you see Helmut, you see Margiela, you see Vanessa [Beecroft], you see Katharine Hamnett. It’s blatantly right there. I’m not going to try and act like I was influenced by a dog walking down the street that broke its ankle that I had a heartfelt discussion with. I had a heartfelt discussion with all of these Helmut Lang images that I stared at for so many years. I had a heartfelt discussion with my Tumblr." - http://www.style.com/trends/fashion/2015/kanye-west-adidas-originals-interview
it's blatantly and unabashedly helmut
>>9531778
Nice fit!
>>9531770
aha dumb fag
it's obviously Helmut inspired u fag, look at the other outerwear
oh that's right ur FUCKEN delusional and the only thing u know about fashion is common projects Achille lows
>>9531784
Why price something so high that is this blatant?
>>9531784
someone link his tumblr please
>>9531791
Because they can, and sadly it will all probably sell at release
>>9531778
You can't really expect someone who looks like a massive fashion victim and a tool to know anything about actual fashion m8 don't be too harsh on him.
>>9531800
pgiafuck you need to calm down
you need to realize that this board is mostly composed of underrage or people under 20, or even worse : asians
for me asians, not as creators, but as clothes wearers, are the cancer killing fashion, they have no taste whatsoever and usually dress with the latest meme and hype clothes, or straight out copy niggers, not to mention they're manlets 99 % of the time
which is useless because it's not the clothes that makes the man shine, it's the man inside the clothes
but still i'm going places, what i truely don't understand is why pasty white lanklets would buy clothes made by a nigger, which not only look atrocious, but are extremely overpriced
>>9531778
did you really spend the time to type this out?
really?
are you just mad that some black guy raped you when you were 12 and you never recovered?
what's with the long face haha
(get it? your face is freakishly long lol)
go and sell some dumb shit to asians so you can keep paying your mom th 200$ rent she charges for the back of the trailer
>>9531814
turning brown nosing into a competitive sport
>>9531787
ispired yes
but in no way should these two runway shows be used in the same sentence
one was revolutionary
the other a hack thinking he can buy his way into the industry
>>9531817
PigCUCK getting BTFO
>>9531828
it's inspired by HL
he said it himself
so yes they can be used in the same sentence
man I'm surprised a guy like u doesn't like Kanye
>>9531842
you should listen to the shit he said about arcitecture
he demeans any artistic endevour he sets his hands on
also, while it is inspired my it, it gives off a completely different vibe
>>9531849
boring
you think you're quirky and hillariously edgy
it just comes over as desperate
>>9529228
>He has no place in the fashion industry
Sincerely, the official gatekeeper of the fashion industry (definitely not just a kid posting on a chinese fast food message board)
>>9531849
>you dress like shit
Ayy lmao, give us more of your prime fits
Fuckin' hoodie or jumper with some black jeans yeah sick m8, top fashion
Fucking autistic faggot.
>>9531848
I would never go out of my way to Google an interview with Kanye west
and what the hell r u goin on about,
inspired, copied, poorly executed whatever, he still had helmut Lang in his head and u can tell from the outerwear that it was HL inspired and he even said it himself so yehhhhhn stop
>>9531758
>the kanye bp vest is a 1:1 copy of this helmut iteration
yeah no
>>9531741
retarded argument and you're obviously backpedaling in your more recent posts. obviously there's countless names that have taken influence from helmut in the last decade, too many to feasibly list in this post. obviously it's not a surprise that a designer like kris van assche might have elements of helmut lang in one of his shows such as a reinterpretation of an iconic piece such as the ballistic vest, re-imagined in his own design vocabulary within the context of one of his collections. the issue is that the kanye pieces aren't re-imaginations, reinterpretations or subversions, it's as if he sketched archival pieces from memory (with help from hours of heartfelt conversation with his tumblr dash) and handed the scribbles to his design team with adidas. he says himself he's not a designer.
>>9531867
>sidesteps criticism by nitpicking
Nice going champ
>>9531882
Wow, it's a fucking vest, I can really see the similarity
What's next, is he ripping off Helmut by using shoes?
>>9531869
3 straps is just probably just a play on the Adidas symbol
D
>>9531865
stop typing like a nigger unless you want to die like one
>>9531885
Kanye even said so himself that he was directly influenced by Helmut Lang.
You just lack the knowledge, the points of reference, the taste, the awareness of fashion and its flow of visual language over time, to understand this
"Just a vest"? Sure, but Helmut was the first to bring it into and popularize it in the context of high fashion. You're only able to be SEEING it as "Just a vest" EXACTLY because of Helmut's introduction of the piece / look, and its advancement into mainstream aesthetics that followed.
You really, really have no business trying to argue anything related to fashion here. Know yourself, know your place. Despite overwhelming evidence against your "claims", all you do is deny concrete facts and resort to elementary modes of thought like strawmanning.
Be honest, how old are you? Like seriously, I'm actually asking you because I'm curious. It genuinely disturbs me that I share this board with people this lacking in cognitive abilities.
>>9531906
Doubt you're going to get an honest answer to the age question from him
MOAR LIEK KANYE VEST AMIRITE?
Kanye definitely lied. And definitely doesn't has pricing control. Season 1is for rich fuccbois to forever hold as a grail. Season 2 might honestly be different price wise. That being said im probably gonna just cop the the 750 and 350 boost and some of the other shit if i find a decent replica. Yeezy honestly just made a bunch of Chinese niggas rich this season
>>9532607
sick insight
ian connors did this really well
5*10 did it for me and you could see it nicely the set was lit well if youre in a theatre screening but not so greaat inside
end track binded it together and i felt like kanye represented himself as the sticky red wax on toppa velvet letter and it was just perfecyt.
the way the model walked and slouched and the attitude displayed was brilliant
the diversity was a good aspect of this
>>9532773
also added to this was i liked how adidas gave kanye the creative freedom instead of sticking with nike's solely ticked stuck up attitude so it was well executed
>>9532781
the thing why plenty of designer hate comes to this is that kanye already has the pre packed yeezy fanclub. guaranteeing buys . guaranteeing a successful go with anything cause he has fans
>>9531769
bubububububu kva desgins for dior homme anon!!! it's not like that brand has a history of hiring hacks as it's creative designer r-right????
>>9532773
fuck off ian
>>9530472
your fits are shit and you're a wasteman. drop trip.
i like kanye and i wish i could be here for him but i would never buy this stuff. it's not good looking, it's overpriced, but worst of all it's largely derivative; rather than working on his own aesthetic he's really just kind of ripping on the feel of established brands. the guy just isn't a fashion designer, and he doesn't know how to make clothes; why would i ever pass up a rick owens garment, for example, which will make me look better, use more luxurious materials, and use more sophisticated construction to flatter my body and keep me comfortable, in favor of some nylon vest made by a rapper and a shoe company?
>>9531604
kanye has no say in the retail pricing
the production price is all on him
he chose the fabrics as the designer
and i'm sure as hell he chose the factories
the retail price is all corporate adidas
>>9531796
Don't forget over 9000 reblogs of himself
where to cop vest since he just ripped it off others?
>>9534470
only the boosts have dropped thus far, pricing for the clothing has only just been released. presumably it falls under outerwear, so you're looking at a $2000 nylon vest.
>>9534503
10/10 would shoot up a school wearing this
>>9534382
You really think if he said to them, "yo, imma take my name and my talent elsewhere unless we can agree on on some prices" they'd just be like, "okay, seeya?" He's got leverage if he wants to use it.
>>9534503
I meant who else has made that vest?
>>9534550
kek
take a merchandise and product development class
>>9534617
originally helmut lang, 1998 i think. various iterations were produced up until he retired. you'll still find them being sold on marketplaces or in consignment. not sure anything quite like it has ever been reproduced (until now i guess) but you'll see things like tactical vests/chest rigs returning virtually every season from various designers. this one is from rick owens fw14 moody.
>>9534550
the truth is in the middle of what all of you guys are saying. i legit believe that kanye wanted lower price points, but do you really think adidas signed him cuz they believed in his talent? they saw those resale prices and want high profit margins. my guess is they pitched a diffusion line to him (maybe with his own namesake stores selling both lines) in the future if this stuff sells. if it does theres no way theyll just throw away profits and start selling at lower prices
>tfw too poor and plebby to even afford Kanye
>>9532773
he didnt do anything well, hes a manlet nigger with bleached hair
>>9534706
Only plebs would buy Kanye's stuff though.
>>9529228
i agree with you 100%. his music is meh. there is enough hip hop out there that i could give a fuck about kanyes bullshit.
>>9529206
>paying more than $120 for adidas
WHy ain't NOBODY noticed dis? OP Pic male muddle is a guy that /fa/ recommended to go becum a male muddle and he did it.
I'm sure I ain't de only one who remombray him.
