From the London Free Press

Kanye West has failed to win over critics with his debut fashion collection after taking to the runway in Paris, France on Saturday night (01Oct11) to unveil his creations.

The show started 45 minutes late, but the hip-hop star won rapturous applause when he took his bow after the models had finished their catwalk run.

However, West's collection failed to impress many fashion critics, with Lisa Armstrong of Britain's Daily Telegraph, writing, "Kanye West's fashion debut was like being subjected to an hour long Mri scan - but not as much fun... If this is the way fashion's going then anyone with any real talent should seriously consider a career in (British supermarket chain) Tesco instead."

Meanwhile, Blue Carreon of Forbes magazine writes, "Kanye West’s first fashion collectionhas been met with tepid, if not harsh, reviews. Before he showed his collection in Paris, many wondered if he could pull a Victoria Beckham and present a collection that would become the toast of the fashion world. Judging from the reviews and the Twitter buzz, Kanye’s debut effort is nowhere near Posh’s, but more in the realm of Jennifer Lopez’s clothing line (insert your own interpretation here)."

New York Times writer, Eric Wilson, concludes, "Mr. West, the rapper, did not disappoint, if only in terms of creating a scene... There was one good-looking pair of colour-blocked pantsin blue and coral, but it was obvious that most of the clothes suffered from a poor fit."
