Yeezy Season 1: la colección cápsula de adidas Originals by Kanye West
El nickname del músico sirve para dar nombre a esta colaboración con adidas Originals. Una colección cápsula de ropa y calzado. La propuesta, muy ligada al ritmo de vida trepidante del artista, pretende aportar soluciones a la hora de vestir. La idea básica es que no le tengas que dar muchas vueltas a lo que te vas a poner cada, sobre todo cuando vas de viaje.
Como toda colección cápsula que se precie, las piezas están ideadas para ser combinadas entre sí creando diferentes looks funcionales, que no resulten repetitivos a lo largo de la semana. La mayor parte de las piezas funcionan tanto en hombre como en mujer… Y su funcionalidad va desde crear looks para viajar cómodamente, ir al gimnasio o acudir a una reunión de trabajo (siempre que tengas un trabajo creativo, claro está).
Looks mundanos y cosmopolitas, muy relajados… sobre todo en la parte superior. Sudaderas, cazadoras de piel de oveja, mucho army, camo, parkas de piel sintética… tonos neutros para facilitar la combinación de prendas. Efecto vintage en algunas prendas para potenciar ese concepto de prendas muy vividas de Kanye West. Porque las prendas que más se viven son aquellas que te hacen la vida más fácil.
Tras los lanzamientos de Yeezy Boosts 750 y 350, la nueva propuesta para los pies, las botas Yeezy 950, está inspiradas en el calzado para la nieve, con la variante plataforma para el público femenino,
En cuanto a los precios, el calzado oscila entre los 250 y 600 euros, aproximadamente. Las prendas de vestir puede ir de los 130 euros a los 545 euros, como punto medio. Aunque alguna prenda más especial, como la capa shearling, puede llegar a los 4.500 euros, o los 1.000 euros de la mochila de cuero. Bueno, piensa que tampoco te tienes que comprar toda la colección :)
En España puedes encontrar la colección en Elite (Marbella), LimitedEdition (Barcelona) y Sivasdescalzo (Madrid)

For Autumn/Winter 2015, Kanye West and adidas Originals unveil YEEZY SEASON 1, a collection of apparel and footwear that cherishes universality and timelessness. Described by West as the world’s first “solutions-based” clothing line, the individual pieces define a style that matches the relentless pace of contemporary lives. “I don’t want the clothes to be the life,” he says. “I want the clothes to help the life.”
With this collection, West’s goal is to absolve consumers of dressing’s daily stress by creating a line of high-quality essentials that can be freely combined in infinite ways—“like Legos,” he says. For the designer this means stripped-down, comfortable, and unpretentious clothes for a “modern jet-set couple,” pieces to be worn from the gym to the office to a meeting to the airport and everywhere in between. “I wanted something that felt like New York or Paris or Tokyo or Santa Barbara or Chicago—a worldliness and an ease.” Layered together and worn haphazardly with an un-precious cool, the YEEZY pieces present all the elements of modern dressing.
West defines a silhouette of considered volume—billowing and oversize on top, tight and trim around the bottom—based largely on his personal sense of style. A study in contrasts like street-luxury and new-vintage, the clothing shapes a modern fashion dichotomy. West adheres to subtle, evocative color-ways of camel, olive, chocolate brown, blue gray, and camouflage, with injections of bright cranberry. This mostly neutral palette allows limitless combinations and expressions within the collection—foolproof, easy, ready to wear.
Bold gear for decisive men, the men’s collection features oversize sweats with distressed edges and worn, puckered hems; sumptuous shearling bomber jackets; cool camouflage parkas and separates; drapey military sweaters with distressed tears and canvas patches; and slick long parkas with faux fur trim.
Built around a wardrobe of incredible outerwear, the women’s collection serves as a modern armor. Highlights include shimmering MA-1 bomber jackets; military parkas; cropped shearling jackets with exaggerated extra-long sleeves; quilted, belted nylon vests with a body-con emphasis; and perfectly cut cotton separates designed to be worn day-in, day-out. “This is a challenge to where fashion is currently—a new feminine ideal,” West says, explaining the curve-hugging pieces.
YEEZY SEASON 1 also offers a large selection of unisex pieces, such as thermal tees, sweatpants, and short- and long-sleeve crew-neck sweaters. These foundational garments provide the basis for the YEEZY wardrobe.
For footwear, West and adidas present further breakthroughs following the highly anticipated launches of the YEEZY BOOSTs 750 and 350. Newly revealed shoes include the YEEZY 950 boots for men and platform snow boots for women—developed in close tandem with adidas’ products team. “adidas is a super innovative company that gives artists a platform to create and dream,” says West.
Footwear ranges from $250 to $625. Men’s apparel ranges from $180 for cotton tanks to $545 for long-johns or cotton hoodies. Women’s apparel ranges from $130 for bra tanks to $3380 for shearling jackets. Unisex apparel ranges from $340 for short-sleeve thermal tees to $4550 for long shearling coats. Accessories range from $585 for a leather backpack to $1040 for a leather weekender.
