17. Kanye West’s fashion show bomb:
2011 was the year of the Kanye West fashion rumors. First, he was going to enroll in the prestigious masters program at Central Saint Martins in London. Next, there were whispers of the rapper showing a Spring 2012 collection at New York Fashion Week with the help of Louise Wilson. And then came the talk of Raf Simons leaving Jil Sander to join forces with West on his new endeavor. After all of the speculation, what actually came about was an exclusive runway show in Paris, and one of the most critically slammed collections since Lindsay Lohan’s stint at Ungaro. Although every editor and buyer of importance was in attendance, the ill-fitting clothing and the collection’s lack of focus far overshadowed West’s star power.
