Ciara Defends Kanye West Clothing Line

Published: Monday 3rd Oct 2011 by David

Harsh criticism greeted the premiere of Kanye West debut womenswear collection at Paris Fashion Week this week. Indeed, the Hip Hop maestro was subject to the difficult reviews from spectators who labelled the line both bland and boring.

Now ‘Ride‘ singer Ciara, who enjoyed the show firsthand, has added her two cents to the matter. Weighing  in on her fellow performer’s latest creations.

Find out what she had to say below…

She explained:

It was an historic moment.

It was amazing. The clothes, the feeling in the room, the energy backstage — it really felt special. It was definitely one of the most talked-about events the week, because it wasn’t going to be your typical show.

This doesn’t happen every day, and to see someone like Kanye, who aspires to succeed in fashion, to get so much respect and cross over like this, it was monumental.

Going on to add:

He continues to inspire me with everything that he does.

Nice.

Here’s hoping she’s getting ‘inspired’ in the studio, as that comeback won’t make itself. We’re rooting for her!

  5. THE UNIVERSITY OF GAGA October 3, 2011

    I’m sorry but she should’ve defended why she worn those shoes after the world was exposed to seeing her feet fingers….JP

    But really though,that was nice of her….

  6. Pop Royalty (RUDE BOY) October 3, 2011

    you can say whatever about her talent and flopped albums, you can SAY ANYTHING , but you can NOT DENY SHE is a good ASS KISSER !!

    I was that close to believe that s*** ….

    historic moment ?! 😯

    NO COMMENT FROM ME ON THAT ONE !!!

    @ KAT ..you aint lying. Always try to blow sh.t up to be bigger than what it is. The line was JUST OK. And the ONLY reason as to why it was okay, was because he bit off other designers. Theres nothing “orginal” about it. That why crtics called it bland. Its been done already for the most part. I think he has potential though. He just needs to do his own thing.

  8. lisa October 3, 2011

    CIARA IS FINE PRINTING HER CONTRACT WITH L.A REID AND MEAN WHILE SHE IS DOING HER SECOND PASSION AND THAT IS MODELING SO JUST SIT BACK , BECAUSE WHEN SHE DO HIT THAT STAGE AGAIN WE WILL GET SOME REAL ENTERTAINMENT PLEASE BELIEVE IT!

  9. HERE I….FLOPPED October 3, 2011

    She needs to be defending why she failed to promote her last album AND why her music is stale.

    And at the same time are we really taking her serious with this defending Kanye West fashion line? Her fashion sense is horrible

  10. I’ma have to send her to her maker October 3, 2011

    @Kat deluna fan I think we could all argue the same thing about who you stan for *sips T* But at least Ciara has more than one hit under her belt….Um, I don’t think it’s about blowing s*** up bigger than what it is. Ciara has an opinion. Don’t we all? Get a grip.

  11. I’ma have to send her to her maker October 3, 2011

    @Lisa co-sign. Tell the hatas to kick rocks. Cici is the business.

  12. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) October 3, 2011

    Yeah, she overexaggerated a little bit, but the industry is ALL about overexaggerating, so I can’t blame her 😉 I don’t know if she really felt like that or if she was just being extremely polite (or clever for that matter 😉 ), but as long as it’s believable, it’s cool 😎

  13. MissImpartial October 3, 2011

    Historic??? Whatever. Probably looking for a collabo.

  14. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) October 3, 2011

    OK, the whole text bar “historic” is A LITTLE overexaggerated.’Historic’ was kind of TOO MUCH but I kind of get what she means with that.There aren’t many black men in the music industry who would take part in a huge fashion show (and not be called “f***”).It was a pretty epic moment for the rap industry vs. fashion industry, but by no means “historic”.Still, she didn’t mean to sound contrived or corny and besides what everyone suspects was her motive, you can’t write off the possibility that Ciara might just be a sweet girl (she used to be cocky, though).

  15. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) October 3, 2011

    *was TOO MUCH, but I kind of get…

  16. ..baa, “I sound just like Mariah when I sing” October 3, 2011

    I hate the media and the so-called critics. I’ve not yet seen any of his collection but I’m sure the pieces previewed weren’t that bad! They sounf like HATERS one and all. F*CK’ EM YEEZY, do your thing boy…..

    Kudos to Cici for supporting Kanye. Folks need to support each other in the industry more especially when the no good media stalks around sturring up sh*t!!

  18. MISHKA October 3, 2011

    Kanye will be alright, Ci-Ci. He doesn’t need you.

  24. King B October 3, 2011

    I’m glad that Kanye wants to expand his horizons, but let’s be real here…

    the collection was average at best. The only good thing that can be said about it was that it wiped the floor with Balenciaga.

  25. I’ma have to send her to her maker October 3, 2011

    @Sam and rihanna reign Sorry I don’t think the internet has room for trolls writing usless comments. If it’s too hard for you to stay on a certain topic and not act like a complete asshole then go play some video games. *kids these days.*

  28. bey’knight October 3, 2011

    Thats not a defense though, she was simply giving her opinion of it. A defense would mean she retorted directly to the criticisms raised by critics

  29. bey’knight October 3, 2011

    @BEAST

    u are right in using the word bullies esp that idiotic rhitard typin in all caps like her life depends on this post. Ciara has handles the situation with grace im so proud of her for keeping herself together, all DC alum turned to alcohol for solace lol

    N**** PLEASE, CiiCii has never left and never will be, though she may not be one of the most popular artists at the moment, she still holds her own . She rep ATLANTA and keeps true to her R&B hiphop swag, SHE IS AMAZING and hell of a mean performer, id chose her over rihanna any day , rihanna on the other hand is just a real joke really !! , #TEAM CIARA ALL DAY EVERYDAY BABY !!

  31. Diane October 3, 2011

    Ciara, why can’t you defend why he didn’t have more black models? I mean, the sistas are absent from the white designer shows so they should have been able to get employment from Kanye?

  32. MINDBLOWIN October 4, 2011
