So, is Kanye's 2012 collection + Yeezy officially the biggest

>>10955652

Product targeted at people who couldn't afford product.
It was doomed to fail from the very moment the pricepoint was set.

>not understanding viral marketing

I his guys wife is the queen of getting attention. His albums just dropped and he wants to get as much attention as possible

>>10955709
of course, he has to heavily rely on music for $$$ since no one is here for his clothes

>most popular shoe of 2015
>biggest flop of all time

>>10955739
this
aint dropped the album but the shoes went platinum

kanye's 2012 collection was a huge hit on his bank account

yeezy stuff is not a huge hit on his bank account

with apparel start up companies, you usually do not profit the first couple years

>>10955739
wouldn't the most popular shoe be an all star or a roshe or some shit? maybe they sell out because there's so few of them, and no one actually keeps them they just resell them

>>10955772
This is with any buisness

>>10955806
that's true

but in this industry, you have to pay before hand for everything, and when you wholesale, you don't get paid for up to 90 days

unless you do factoring, you can't really make money in between those 90 days

>>10955739
the yeezy boost maybe, but the rest of the line? Most of that shit is on deep discount at this point.

remember when he said he was going to make clothing that was affordable? hahaha

Yeah I don't believe this, he has Adidas backing him, where exactly did his money go? Unless he's not referring to the clothing line?

expect another temper tantrum soon

>>10955904
he is though, the prices for season 2 are already drastically different from 1

>>10955652
How exactly is he in that much debt? Did he get cucked by Adidas into funding his own shit? If so, that's hilarious.

>>10955652
its not really debt autist

>corps wont sponsor you because its a bad investment
>do it yourself anyway
>also produce a video game
>wahh im in debt
sounds like hes just surrounded by yes men and has shitty financial senses
wouldnt be surprised if he started a gofundme

How in the ever loving fuck did he manage to get that much in debt

>>10955652
Original line: No buyers bought it at the show, it was an off runway runway show

so his runway was next to H&M, Zara and Express runways that they just set up kind of off to the side near the real fashion week stuff

Kanye X A.P.C was a licensing agreement and made APC more money than he did

shoe collborations were a similar licensing agreement, seems like kanye will sign his name to anything he can to get a dollar

second attempt at fashion line was mockery

>>10955948
his wedding was 15 mil lol

>>10955949
>No buyers bought it at the show

huh? tons of places stock it, including mr porter

>>10955954
Christ almighty

>>10955949
since when does zara do runway shows??

>>10955966
nope, that's Adidas x kanye west

http://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/fall-2012-ready-to-wear/kanye-west

>>10955988
they've been doing it for years now

the cringiest one is the "zara kids" fashion show

>>10956014
oh yeah this stuff

why did this fail? was it just because of the name behind the clothing at the time? I can see it doing well among kardasian-types now

karlie always looks good

saying "I'm 53mil in debt" means nothing when your fucking revenue stream is near what his is

Literally this. Clothes for homeless people with prices only rich people could afford

He went full retard

>>10956095
>Clothes for homeless people

are the colors and styling too deep for you?

>>10956073
onset prductions is like a NY based version of like...craigslist

they offer free tickets to fill seats (like amy schumer's new show has a fuck load of free seats)

or paid gigs like that AOL esque ted talks are offering $30/hour to sit there

so it looks good on stream

>>10956107
I'd rather donate plasma than ever sit in a room full of homos watching People's Court

>>10956104
acid washes
bad construction
duckboots
box cuts

looks bad senpai

>>10956104
His collections literally ripped off previous more prominent designers. The sweater look he has right now is straight out of Raf Simons older collections

>>10956073
yes

>>10955702
He's trying to emulate Elon Musk's Tesla business model. Start Highly Priced, limited quantity. Create hype, then in Kanye's case, slowly roll out affordable pieces so peasants can feel part of the movement. The prices will lower in a year or two. He's definitely deceiving people about the debt thing. It takes money to make money and he will definitely remake that money, He may have went over his budget for his line, but the guy isnt stupid. He's probably positioning to appeal to fans so his continues to look as if he's all about the art. Probably looking for investor's as well.

>>10956114
I think the type of addicts that do it need someplace to chill out after shooting up, selling plasma and shit

>>10958284

What the fuck are you talking about

If people think he's in debt they aren't going to rise up and "pull him" out of debt or think he's somehow "all about the art". They are going to think he's turned to shit and washed up, and investors will pull their money

>>10958284
Elon musk didn't do anything revolutionary. That marketing model is as old as time.

He used "revolutionary" a lot in marketing campaigns, just like Steve Jobs used "genius"

Don't take ads for face value

Every celebrity of that kind has a huge debt, the thing is they also have a gigantic credit line. It's all image, folks. Big money is virtual.

>>10958303
True the model wasn't revolutionary but his products and business are. PayPal, Tesla, even SpaceX to a degree are revolutionary in their own fields

>>10958345

Steve Jobs, elon musk and several others operate their advertising on this principle

>black celebrity falling millions into debt

Color me surprised desu. Money can't buy taste, it makes me fucking sick every time some nouveau riche fuckstick tries to get into fashion.

At least the fact that many of them end up destitute and humiliated after shitting out three or four lines is some consolation.

>>10958402
>hurr racist shit lol
>>>/pol/

>tfw egomaniacss like him can make a fashion line because lol kanye but even with busting your ass to network you have a shit chance to even get off the ground

>>10955652
Why does /fa/ always look for every tiny thing to shit on Kanye? Ya'll starting to sound like kids in lewronggeneration of youtube comments. Absolutely Disgusting.

>>10955652

worse than drake bell

CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCKKK!!!!

>>10955948
25 mil if that is towards a home he is building. It's halfway complete and he hasn't paid a penny towards it.

He's that much in debt because he keeps spending money he doesn't have.

>>10958674
Because overall, kanye seems like a big asshole and is too egocentric. People like to see his type suffer in life

>>10958674

How's it feel to be cucked by Kanye?

American mansions of this kind are so fucking atrocious. If you're going to spend 20 million on a house, you should atleast take the time to hire someone with taste to pick it for you.

u guys know hes not actually 53 m in debt right?

>>10958297
He sells everything with his name on it in seconds because demand far outstrips the artificial supply. There's certainly a game plan here

They lack sculptures, I rarely spy a fountain anymore. Is it the maintenance or the gall to just want a small rock formation with a waterfall leading into a pool with HOME OWNER X's name splattered onto the tiles?

>>10956123
What do you consider good?

>>10959103
>like a big asshole and is too egocentric
just like everyone on /fa/.

he reminds them of themselves. that is why they hate him

>>10955652
>Money can't buy you success or style
That shit should be in golden letters just below the board name

>>10955948
Most people can't even imagine the level of luxury he lives in. With the wedding, mansion, designer clothes, expensive cars, and business ventures debt can accumulate really quickly.

>>10959103
The only difference is Kanye is up there and you're down here.

>>10959943
we've finally come full circle
