What were you doing on January 23 at 11 a.m.? Always in the good shots, Kanye West and Julia Fox, them, attended the first fashion show of the new artistic director of the Kenzo house in Paris, called Nigo. On this occasion, the American rapper and his new girlfriend were able to discover the charm of the Vivienne gallery, built in 1823 to allow Parisians to do their shopping in a pleasant setting. A highly symbolic place for the brand since it is there that Kenzo Takada opened his first store, at the turn of the 1970s.
In jeans what do you want
For the occasion, the two lovers had chosen to coordinate their outfits. They both wore outfits deserving of the name “Canadian tuxedo”. This expression designates an outfit combining trousers and a denim jacket. The Americans use it to signify their contempt for their Canadian neighbors and their supposed lack of refinement… Note also that Julia Fox had taken the vice to the point of also wearing denim boots, thus giving shape to a monster: the suit three Canadian coins.
flat out
On the feet, Kanye West had also opted for a pair of boots. The rapper was thus fitted with a pair of Red Wing, the 3049, 17 inch Pac Boot. In this case, this model, withdrawn from sale in 2016, was intended to be worn by workers in the oil industry having to perform heavy tasks in temperatures below zero. It is true that it was cold, Sunday 23, in Paris.
Golden buttocks
In Julia Fox’s ears rested an imposing pair of butt-shaped earrings. Should there be a symbol? A nod to the famous buttocks of Kim Kardashian, her predecessor in the heart of Kanye West? A response to the claims of the celebrity press lending him a dominatrix past? Whatever the answer, the Schiaparelli house, custodian since the 1930s of this surrealist style à la Jean Cocteau, will obviously be delighted with the product placement.
Advantageous pose
Finally, note that at the feet of the couple is a remarkable mosaic signed Giandomenico Facchina. Produced in 1880, a few decades after the opening of the Vivienne gallery, this one illustrates the talent of the master of mosaics, who revolutionized the genre by inventing the technique of indirect laying. The latter made it possible to prefabricate the mosaic in the workshop and thus considerably reduce production costs. Let’s thank Paris Fashion Week for this precious touch of culture.
