How Kanye West “reshapes” his women and why he needs them

This fate did not escape any of West’s daughters – someone resisted more than heeded his advice, someone showed humility, but Kanye played games while dressing up with each. And it was like that.

She started dating West in 2008. And it immediately became clear: their fashion tastes don’t coincide at all. Stubborn Amber was in no rush to obey without question, and Kanye only rolled his eyes, seeing Rose’s choice herself. She loved anything bright and flashy, and West loved nude hues.

Nevertheless, the woman managed to push through her position, although sometimes stubbornness led her into awkward situations.

For example, she was determined to attend the Metropolitan Opera’s 125th anniversary gala in a cocktail dress with a thigh-high slit, rather than the evening gown West had suggested to her.

“I didn’t want to wear a long dress. There you go, we arrive at the Metropolitan Opera, and all the women in long dresses! Well, cool, I thought. I didn’t know what the Metropolitan Opera was! Rose admitted honestly.

Maybe this episode made him listen more to West, who then turned out to be right. Amber learned style lessons and in 2009 appeared at the Met Gala in a monochrome red maxi dress, and at the BET Awards she came in a white outfit, which was clearly Kanye’s taste.

But in his relationship with Amber, the rapper’s fashionable touch-ups still seem to be the product of mutual compromise. Either Rose showed off her character or Kanye himself was testing out his mode system, which will be working ruthlessly and at full power very soon.

Today, Kim is considered a style icon, but she’s come a long way towards that achievement. If you compare the photos of the star, it seems that they are just different people. And no, it’s not just about the beauty transformations, it’s also about the clothes.

West’s influence on the Skims founder’s style began in 2012, when he revamped his wardrobe for an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. West stripped Kim of flashy prints and paved the way for a more “less is more” aesthetic.

Kim, who had previously been Paris Hilton’s assistant and used to being obedient, became a grateful and obedient student of Kanye. Later, the star thanked her husband more than once not only for the makeover, but also for introducing her to the fashion scene.

That’s how Kanye’s wife Kim first arrived at the Met Gala, where she’s now a regular guest, and on the cover of Vogue.

“I really think my relationship with Kanye changed everything. I once thought I had the best style. But now I think back to my past outfits and I’m just horrified,” Kardashian admitted in 2016.

And although Kim and Kanye broke up in 2021, her ex-husband’s influence on her style continues. However, it can be said that Kardashian herself has already “grown up” with this image and even surpassed her teacher in some way. Many noted that even after the divorce, Kim “coordinated” the images with her ex-husband: for example, she wore fashionable Balenciaga masks, while Kanye also liked to cover his face in public.

And let’s not judge their family life, but this fashion duo may have been the most successful of West’s life for both parties. And proof of that is the Fashion Icon Award Kim received in 2021. In her speech, Kardashian didn’t forget to thank West, noting that he “really introduced her to the world of fashion.”

A short, but lively novel, the development of which the audience noticed mainly by the appearance of Irina. Officially, they never dated, and joint public appearances there were only paparazzi photos from a trip to France. But Shayk has given solo outings – Kanye now gives him fashion advice.

The model began to wear corsets often, which was previously not in her street style, as well as West Yeezy brand items. For example, she once stepped out in a $200 Yeezy x Balenciaga tribute t-shirt dedicated to rapper DMX. The sale of the piece ended up bringing in $1 million for the late rapper’s family.

The romance was born under the most fashionable conditions possible – Fox and West first appeared in public at Fashion Week. Kanye again did not skimp: in the first days of their acquaintance, he provided Julia with an entire hotel room, littered with fashionable clothes, from which the actress could choose her looks, and for her birthday , he gave her and her girlfriends Birkin bags.

When going out, the couple often preferred paired looks: for example, total denim or leather suits. And West often took on the role of makeup artist for his beloved – Fox’s rich makeup in the Black Swan style was discussed by everyone.

And it seems the rapper inspired Julia so much that now you can’t shut off the fountain of his ideas. Now, we can barely remember what West did for her there — Fox’s own notions overshadow everything. After breaking up with Kanye, the actress did not disappear from the journalist’s column – now everyone is watching what other crazy outfit she will show the public. And Fox knows he’s switching from boxers to condoms. It all seems crazy at times, but Fox is clearly the most creative of all of West’s neighborhoods.

The most drastic transformation in the shortest possible time happened with West’s second “wife”, Bianca Censori, a Yeezy employee. At the request of the rapper, from brunette with long hair, Bianca became blonde with an ultra-short haircut. Well, nothing to say about the outfits: Kanye’s new favorite has also moved on to tight tops and leggings (the latter are now worn happily by West himself, so we get paired bows again).

In his image, West seems to bet on maximum exposure: what are the translucent overalls like nylon tights or the new candid shoot of Bianca for the Mowalola brand, where black tape on intimate places served as her clothing.

We believe even bolder images await while Kanye is on a roll.

The main question, to which the unequivocal answer is not so easy to give, because there are several factors that can influence West’s behavior. The simplest thing: West is really passionate about fashion – he himself has spoken about it more than once, and he underlined his visionary approach. Lovers and wives are the ones on whom he can immediately try out all his ideas, no matter how crazy. Each woman for some time becomes his muse, which he tries to turn into an image of his head.

It is possible that the indirect influence of Kanye’s bipolar disorder, as well as the “God complex” are added to it. It’s no secret that the rapper is a very religious person, dedicated many songs to Jesus and even holds Sunday masses. But what if he imagines himself the Creator? At least in the area where it has a certain weight and influence.

But we have to admit it: whatever Kanye’s motivations are, it is definitely interesting to follow his experiments. We don’t know what to expect, but we are ready to be surprised.
