King Kanye....

'In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different.' Coco Chanel

Is this the start of a new trend, men rocking out in women’s clothing? If anyone can launch it, it’s Mr West.

I’ll admit, when I first heard about him appearing at Coachella in a Celine silk shirt from the Spring/Summer 11 collection, I was dubious. But I was AMAZED at how fierce he looked in it, he totally owned it, and I have a feeling this isn’t going to be the last we see of this womenswear as menswear trend.

To be fair, us females have already made the clothes of the opposite sex look fabulous on us, (think boyfriend jeans, oversized shirts and girl boxers) so it’s about time men took the initiative to mix things up a bit. And mix it up Kanye did. His appearance at the California based music and arts festival has been the talk of the town, with it appearing to be a love it or hate it situation when it comes to his chosen attire.

Not one to play it safe, he is certainly no stranger to having his fashion sense closely followed by the public, and I commend him for stepping outside the box with this one. I can safely say that I LOVED loved loved it, despite having read some critics say otherwise (pffffft, obviously they don't know good style when they see it!).

But seriously, I think Kanye's outfit is a step in the right direction when it comes to fashion. It's preaching tolerance, and acceptance of styles that may seem alien to you. Perhaps his appearance in Katy Perry's E.T had a resounding effect on him? Ha!

Or maybe he just liked the shirt? Who knows. Ross Gellar couldn't pull it off, but Mr West you can! I am all for the idea of fashion shedding its labels and venturing into this new area.  If women can make the men's collection look good, why can't it work the other way round? It's definitely one to watch...
