Questionable acts aside, Kanye West has proven that he’s a monumentally talented artist. After all, who can deny the ear candy he’s bestowed on us over the years? I’m talking about the entire College Dropout album and more recently, “FourFiveSeconds”, both of which are acts of pure musical genius.
That being said, I can also say with a hundred per cent certainty that West is not a designer. Maybe he’s an acceptable stylist, an artistic visionary even but he can’t design clothing. Even Anna Wintour’s presence at his latest show won’t convince me otherwise.
