Wearable Art: Yeezy Season 2 Lucite Heel As The Shoe Of The Summer
Who would’ve thought that a classic summer white look could be effortlessly elevated with a pair of Kanye West-designed heels?!
This week, rising star Margot Robbie surprised many show fanatics while promoting her latest film The Legend Of Tarzan in London. She fashioned her chic ensemble with a pair of Lucite Yeezy Season 2 heels — a shoe that is part of the rapper’s latest collection which hit stores last month on June 6.

What’s amazing is that just last year, West was the subject of many takedowns, characterizing him as a joke designer that was fooling the fashion world with “beige under-things” and “broken-down basics.”
“I don’t read the reviews,” West told Vogue‘s shuttered website Style.com sometime after the debut of Yeezy Season 1.
And now, it would appear that West’s passion for fashion is becoming less of the laughing matter with the fashion bible now describing the Lucite heel as the “most-sought-after footwear of the summer.”

And if you think that a bad review is actually a bad thing, think again.
According to Racked, one of Kayne biggest naysayers, legendary fashion critic Cathy Horyn, (the scribe responsible for the “broken-down basics” remark) is known for taking swipes at design stars.
Horyn once equated Oscar De La Renta to a hot dog, and she “famously has been banned from shows by Hedi Slimane, Giorgio Armani, and Carolina Herrera because of her reviews.”
So while many might continue to underestimate Kayne West, he will continue churning out mens and womenswear.

And finally, why did Kayne West release shoes on the random date of June 6? Yeezy president, Pete Fox, tells HypeBeast that their collections “will not be produced in its entirety or launched following a traditional fashion calendar.”
Leave it to Kayne to always leave people guessing. We can’t wait to see what he comes up with next.
