Yeezy extends Ye’s
brand for Season 3
By ANAY KATYAL
For the Daily
Jarring. That’s really the only
apt descriptor for the evening I
experienced on Feb. 11, 2016.
The city of Ypsilanti, Michigan
is a far cry from New York City.
It’s a Midwestern sprawl, the
antithesis of everything New
York represents as a city. And yet,
here I was, posted up in the town’s
local IMAX theater, anxiously
waiting for a stream of Kanye
West unveiling The Life of Pablo
and Yeezy Season 3 at Madison
Square Garden.
I was clearly far removed from
the Fashion Week travails of New
York, but I was still surrounded by
levels of hype that might make one
think otherwise. The absurdity
of the situation sort of left me
feeling like some side character
in a hypebeast-laden episode of
“Seinfeld” (in an alternate reality
where “Seinfeld” is still on TV,
Jerry sports Yeezy Boosts instead
of Nike Airs and Kramer always
laments his inability to purchase
“fire jawnz”).
Swaths of people overtook an
awkward corner in the theater,
a space a lot of them likely
wouldn’t occupy if it weren’t
for an event cobbled together
by their self-appointed cultural
idol. People were slapping hands,
commiserating over their mutual
fascination of what was about
to unfold. Shoes were being
compared, outfits were being
complimented. The occasional
streetwear meme was screamed
out by a suburban teenager
wearing
fake
Yeezys
and
a
Champion hoodie. It was clear
that Ypsi’s Rave Cinemas wasn’t
used to being a hotbed for such
commotion, or such clientele.
Everyone patiently waiting in
line for the showing aesthetically
blended
together.
Audience
wardrobes were fairly limited
in their color palette (myself
embarrassingly included). Save
for the occasional candy-apple
red Air Max or absurdly loud
Supreme jacket, desert brown,
olive green and black seemed
like the only colors that people
felt were appropriate to wear —
a fitting homage to the subject
of the show, I suppose. It was
clear that attendees sought to
gussy themselves up in their
best streetwear outfits, akin to a
suburban family wearing their
nicest clothing to Easter mass.
Collectively, it felt like I was in
the middle of an amalgamation of
street style caricatures more than
anything else.
When the stream began, it was
obvious that my theater wasn’t an
isolated case. A camera panned
over a packed Madison Square
Garden,
displaying
a
similar
demographic of people, all of
them with bizarre, concurrent
expressions of excitement and
shock on their faces. It was
clear that the public bought into
Kanye’s hype over this event,
both in New York and around
the world. My MSG counterparts
spent hundreds of dollars on
seats, commemorative jackets and
sweatshirts, and the opportunity
to be distantly graced with the
presence of the esteemed Kanye
West. West claimed there were
20,000 individuals present. I
believe it. In addition to that
impressive number, people like
myself were also streaming the
event at multiplexes across the
globe. People paid to watch West’s
extravaganza
of
his
fashion,
music and miscellaneous creative
visions. I paid to watch this.
Fascinating.
The clothes conveyed well-
crafted symbolism thanks to
Vanessa Beecroft, an artist and
creative that frequently works
with Kanye West. Models were
carefully placed on towering
platforms in the pit of the venue.
The scene was reminiscent of
the sobering images of Rwandan
refugees
Kanye
had
chosen
to display on invites to the
event. Whether or not it was
intentional, considering today’s
global political climate, MSG felt
culturally topical that night.
West’s latest collection was
a definitive continuation of the
aesthetic he has so carefully
crafted in past seasons. Models
were largely wearing stretchy
leggings, over-sized sweatshirts
and shearling coats, in addition
to
the
notorious
Adidas-
manufactured
sneakers
and
boots. Save for some of the more
creative outerwear and refreshed
footwear, much of the collection
was fairly basic. It did its
fundamental job as “clothing.” It
was wearable. The large reliance
on technical fabrics falls in line
with today’s continuing trend of
“athleisure” clothing. The color
palette of cocoa brown, wine red
and burnt turmeric was a nice
change of pace. Everything was
fine. Kanye didn’t really fuck
up, so he can find solace in that.
Outside of that, though, there
really isn’t much else to be said.
Sure, West has a passion for
fashion. Whether this passion
is as evident in his clothes as he
thinks is something I’m unsure
of, though. If anything, West’s
passion is rooted in his ability
to use fashion as a vehicle for
communicating
his
thoughts
and visions. His clothes give
outsiders a look into his mind,
into his emotions and his creative
process. And while that’s all
fine and dandy (and definitely
something he does far better than
some of fashion’s old guard), for
all the noise Kanye and his Yeezy
collections make, unlike West’s
own psyche, the clothes leave
little to be remembered.
Don’t get me wrong; the
outerwear is solid, and the hype
the footwear garners is fairly
merited. There’s a turtleneck that
I’ll probably (and unabashedly)
try my hardest to purchase, even
if it means setting an alarm and
waking up hours earlier than
usual to make it happen. But
considering that parroting “Kanye
is only just getting into the game!
Kanye needs his time to develop!”
was how fans tried to calm critics
of his first two collections, one
would rationally expect a more
substantial progression in the
Yeezy aesthetic. Here, we are left
with a lot of the same of what we’ve
already seen, bar a color palette
update. Sometimes, I think Kanye
is only dedicated to his clothes as
a means of furthering his brand
image and identity. Sometimes, I
don’t know.
Whatever the industry and
supposed “critics” like myself
want
to
think,
long
lines
meandered around the event’s
merchandise stands at Madison
Square Garden. Four friends and
I paid $35 to see the event, as
did thousands of others. People
paid attention to what West had
to say. Objectively speaking,
we wasted a Thursday evening
listening to soon-to-be-released
music,
watching
emotionless
models
unveil
expensive
clothing, hearing a mad creative
speak his mind.
Speaking personally, we had a
memorable cultural experience
on the graces of one of our
favorite artists. If West pulls
a similar stunt for Season 4, I
can see myself indulging again.
Why? I can’t succinctly say.
West has a mystique next to
none, not only on the hip hop
scene, but the creative scene as a
whole. The man, and his various
rambling, muddied rants, has a
charm, well beyond the music
he
makes.
Though
West’s
clothes don’t really have the
merit he strives for, his various
creative pursuits still leave me
artistically satiated and well-
entertained. In the end, I guess
that’s all I really want.

STYLE REVIEW
New ‘Zoolander’
is a total disaster
Ben Stiller’s sequel
almost ruins the
beloved original
By MADELEINE GAUDIN
Daily Arts Writer
“Zoolander 2” is an absolute
mess of a movie. Coming is years
after the original, it almost feels
more like a
remake
than
a sequel. The
plot
famil-
iarly
follows
vain,
stupid
and
really,
really ridicu-
lously
good-
looking male
models Derek
Zoolander (Ben Stiller, “Night
at the Museum”) and Hansel
(Owen Wilson, “Midnight in
Paris”). They’re back to, yet
again, battle the evil Mugatu
(Will Ferrell, “Daddy’s Home”)
to save the fashion world. But
this time, it’s personal. Mugatu
plans on killing Zoolander’s
son because since he’s directly
descended from the first ever
male model, his blood is essen-
tially the fountain of youth. If
the plot feels familiar, that’s
because it’s more or less the plot
of the original.
The only surprise in “Zool-
ander 2” is the number of celeb-
rity cameos. Most of the cast is
credited as playing themselves,
and most seem to be nothing
but distractions from the bor-
ing and repetitive plot. Sur-
prisingly, the most successful
cameos are delivered by Jus-
tin Bieber and Neil deGrasse
Tyson. The film opens with a
strong and funny bit in which
Bieber is brutally murdered but
stays alive long enough to post a
final selfie. Some are tragically
underdeveloped,
like
Kiefer
Sutherland (“24”) as a member
of Hansel’s communal polyam-
orous relationship. And most,
like a promising yet disappoint-
ing
Benedict
Cumberbatch
(“The Imitation Game”) as a
trendy,
androgynous
model,
are just filler for a very empty
movie. The only way “Zoolan-
der 2” surprises its audience
is by making them say, “I can’t
believe that guy would be in this
movie.”
This sort of over-the-top sat-
ire of male modeling was daring
in 2001 when the idea of male
vanity was still taboo. However,
in a world of Biebers, Kanyes
and men who get famous tak-
ing selfies on Instagram, that
humor feels a little outdated.
The fashion world is still ripe
for a satirical takedown, but
doing so through the lens of
male modeling is no longer
effective. “Zoolander 2” dips its
toe in humor pointed at other
aspects of the industry — the
world’s biggest designers help
orchestrate a ritual sacrifice
promising to unleash the foun-
tain of youth. But because Marc
Jacobs and Anna Wintour play
themselves (and are therefore
clearly in on the joke), they
serve to only further the sat-
ire of Derek and Hansel rather
than provide a vehicle by which
to poke fun at other aspects of
the fashion world. Unfortunate-
ly, the movie decides to remain
too derivative of the original
and gets itself stuck making
the same jokes about the same
people.
For a movie barely longer
than ninety minutes, there is a
lot going on. So much so, that
it feels like a movie of sub-
plots, with no driving storyline.
There’s an underdeveloped bit
about
Derek’s
reconciliation
with his son (newcomer Cyrus
Arnold). The plot that seems to
set the film in motion — some-
one is killing all the good-look-
ing people in the world — is all
but abandoned by the halfway
mark. “Zoolander 2” needs at
least another hour to complete
everything it sets out to do, but
knows its audience could not
stand a minute more.
“Zoolander 2” is so bad it
almost retroactively ruins the
original. It’s a soulless, charm-
less tangle of a movie relying
too heavily on the cult success of
its predecessor. The humor falls
flat, the characters are dislik-
able at best and the plot simply
doesn’t exist. The most satisfy-
ing moment of “Zoolander 2” is
when the credits start to roll.
