I Dressed Like Kanye West For a Week.
In recent months "Elle US" did a feature where they had one of their girls dress as Kim Kardashian West for one week. The looks were based upon her Instagram feed. The project was a success and got me to thinking... What if I did the other side of this and worked with Yeezy himself. The first thing I did was look in my closet and see if this was even achievable, then I had to find looks. Kanye does not have an Instagram so what do I do? I hit Google Image search for different Kanye fashion moments. To put my spin on it I dressed my looks for Kanye, but on a budget.
Kanye in his 808's and Heartbreak phase.
- Blazer: Tweed Thrifted Ralph Lauren from Salvation Army
- Pants: J.Crew
- Shoes: Old Navy
- White Shirt: Club Monaco
My next look brought me to Kanye's "Monster" video. In this video Kanye's fashion is def on fleek. The all black with camel coat is Kanye to a T.
- Hat: Forever 21
- Coat: Unknown designer stolen from Dad's closet
- Shirt & Pants: H&M
- Sneakers: Jordans
I know when thinking about Kanye style moments I couldn't leave out his many moments of him in Paris. From steetstyle to fashion meet ups he has always been on.
- Blazer: Thrifted from Salvation Army
- Sweater: H&M
- Jeans: Old Navy
- Chelsea Boots: H&M
Next look was a streetstyle look that was used for his GQ cover. He was featured as one the most stylish men and I agree.
- Shirt: Kirklands
- Jeans: Old Navy but distressed by me
- Shoes: Clarks
Streetstyle Kanye coming up in the next look. Rocking his signature look in Bomber Jackets.
- Jacket: Sean John
- Sweat shirt: J.Crew
- Jeans: Old Navy distressed by me
- Boots: Timberland
- Shirt- Jcrew
- Jeans-Old Navy (distressed by me)
- Shoes- JCrew
- Coat-Gatsby
What I've learned from this week is Kanye's style is easily accessible when you know where to go. Kanye does monochromatic like nobody else and finding looks to coincide with that was somewhat easy. I did what I could do with what I had, and if it were just my opinion I give this a 10/10. Wait who am I kidding it is my opinion that matters, it's my website! haha So here it is, try the Kanye fashion diet and call me in the morning...
