Kanye West has a lot to say about fashion.
The rapper-designer was on hand at The Daily Front Row's inaugural Fashion Los
Angeles Awards at the Sunset Tower Hotel last night to present an award to Mazdack Rassi, co-founder and creative director of Milk Studios.The rapper-designer was on hand at The Daily Front Row's inaugural Fashion Los
West gave an impassioned speech about the importance of fashion and design, going so far as to say it's God's work.
First, he opened with an anecdote explaining why he doesn't smile so much.
"Back when I was working on Yeezus, I saw this book from the 1800s and it was velvet-covered with brass and everything," West said. "I looked at all these people's photos and they look so real and their outfits were incredible and they weren't smiling and people, you know the paparazzi, always come up to me, ‘Why you not smiling?' and I think, not smiling makes me smile...When you see paintings in an old castle, people are not smiling cause it just wouldn't look as cool."
From there, Kim Kardashian's hubby argued that fashion is divinely-inspired.
"In my opinion, God is the No. 1 creator, and anytime we create,
we're an extension of doing his work on earth," West said. "That's why
we're here. What can we do for humanity? And you know, in a way, fashion
is what defines the time."
He proclaimed everybody is a "fashion insider" because "it's illegal to be naked."
"Everyone
has some form of fashion every single day," West said, explaining, "We
have the power to change the world. I believe that through design,
because design is the closest to truth, problem solving truth is the
closest to love, and love is the closest thing to God, and God is love."
Got that?
But
West also acknowledged toward the end of his nearly eight–minute
speech, "I don't know if I even made one f--king good point."
And then, just like that, he smiled.
