In the fashion
world, the word ‘normal’ doesn’t really have a definition. I know I have
already spoken about the normality of Desi fashion but haute couture and high
fashion pieces are far from your typical normal. In the fashion industry, all
it takes is one small change to a regular piece of clothing to make it
different and add a designer’s touch to it, where it be adding a panel to a sleeve,
adding extra fabric to the tail of a jacket or disconnecting the layers of a
dress. One line in particular which I found was very interesting, and although
this seems like old news now, but I still can’t wrap my head around the Kanye
West x Adidas Originals line. The way the clothes were modelled had a deep meaning
behind them, all models were in tights or a nude piece of clothing paired with
West’s creation to show off the piece, rather than pairing it with something
that will distract from it. This is actually a really good way of showing of
the garments while not distracting from them and creating a very minimal look,
but they just looked so strange to me. The female models also had barely to no
make up on and were wearing some sort of cap which looks like it was made from
the same material as tights, adding to the minimal look. It just proves that
this line, along with many others was far from normal. One piece that caught my
attention was a jumper with holes in it.

The jumper legitimately looked like it
was left out for a night and was devoured by animals, but Kanye West and Adidas
decided to go with it, anyway. This looked really similar to the Chanel hole
sweat suit Kim Kardashian sported a while ago in Paris, from the Fall 2014
collection.
Both were actually very hard to look at and were certainly not
normal. But who is to say fashion is normal?
