Would you buy from a Kim Kardashian and Kanye West designed clothing line?
According to UK’s The Sun, the stylish duo might just launch a collection.
An anonymous source told the reputable (?) publication, “Kanye and Kim have figured out that if they combine their names it could be big business. They’ve both got massive fanbases who will buy their gear…”
“It’s also a sign that they’re in the relationship for the long haul and that they think it’s a romantic way to seal their relationship.”
The Kardashian Klan has already proved quite profitable in the sector with their Dash boutique and lines for QVC and Sears.
And as we all know, Kanye dabbles in design as well. While his runway shows have been met with lukewarm reviews, his shoes are kinda kute (ok, I’ll stop with the k’s)!
If the two were to fuse their fashionable forces, I foresee loads of peplums, skin tight dresses, baggy leather pants, every iteration of leather skirt, Yeezy’s, and single strap sandals (made in collaboration with Giuseppe Zanotti, natch).
Say what you want about the two, but they set tongues wagging. And no lie, it seems every time I pass the Dash store in Soho, there’s a line outside.
That said, would you purchase a few of their picks? I’ll be honest, I’m still (sort’ve) on the hunt for a Yeezy necklace from Ye’s Spring 2012 show.
What do you think?

NO. He can design accessories and shoes but that’s it.
Being passionate about fashion and being able to produce quality collections are two separate things. Just my take…
October 10, 2012 11:32 am
I have to agree with Caribelle…..They have stylists who hook them up on a consistent basis….it’s not like they actually “design” the clothes they wear. The both of them need serious training…and they both have money so take some time away from the cameras and go to fashion school or something.
October 10, 2012 11:37 am
what caribbelle & marsha d said because they’re both right.
October 10, 2012 11:40 am
Yes…. I would wear their clothes. From the past two collections I saw I think Kanye is an exceptional designer, while I do agree that to be a fashion designer takes training but at this point for Kim and Kanye why go back to school. The Olsen twins didn’t go to fashion school and look at their collection. To develop a stronger style and identity takes time.
October 10, 2012 11:46 am
Nope. They can put that where? Back there!
But it’s a good look for the stans.
October 10, 2012 11:53 am
They dress nice for themselves, but I have yet to see something from either of them that I’m dying to get. Wouldn’t rule it out though.
October 10, 2012 11:53 am
I would if the clothes fit properly and the aesthetic was up to par.
October 10, 2012 11:55 am
If the women’s collection is a reflection of Kim’s current style I would probably be cautious… but I am an open minded individual so I won’t completely rule it out.
October 10, 2012 11:56 am
N…O…!
October 10, 2012 11:57 am
They may have hit or miss ensembles, but I would boy their joint line. It sounds interesting
October 10, 2012 11:59 am
Buy*
October 10, 2012 12:09 pm
Oh boy…
First of all, this story was published by the Sun…the UK version of Mediatakeout. Claire I hope you know that this report is just the usual BS … par for the course with KimYe these days
Secondly…I won’t lie…regardless of the tough criticism they get…that would be interesting to see IF creatively this is a COLLABORATIVE effort between those two.
October 10, 2012 12:25 pm
…but Kim has no taste….outside of Monica…sooooo
October 10, 2012 12:47 pm
I think I would be curious enough to take a look at Kim and Kanye’s joint collection but I’m not so sure I would see anything appealing or eye-catching. Both of their styles seem very one-dimensional….Kim is always in pencils and strappy sandals, Kanye is seen most times in skinnys and designer high tops. It would be interesting to see whether or not they are able to create pieces “outside of the box”.
October 10, 2012 1:00 pm
I would be curious and would MAYBE buy one or two pieces, but I doubt I would every buy a full outfit from these two…
October 10, 2012 1:02 pm
I would definitely take a look… and if there were some well-made, stylish pieces that I could afford… who knows.
October 10, 2012 1:04 pm
Claire…WHEN DO YOU THIS LINE OUTSIDE OF DASH?!?!? As many times as I have stepped IN, have yet to see any customers inside…and please dont get me started on the Dash store in Miami…
I agree with Carribelle, MarshaD and will have to high 5 CrazyM….just NO!
October 10, 2012 1:11 pm
Kanye and Kim would probaly make clothes that both sex can wear. like a skirt but a guy can wear it too.
October 10, 2012 1:13 pm
interesting-i’ll buy anything if I like the way it looks and can afford it. Kim seems to understand different price points, Kanye – not so much.
Should be interesting. Definitely a good business venture.
October 10, 2012 1:14 pm
Hell No I tend to stay away from style-less celebrity clothing lines
October 10, 2012 1:27 pm
Seriously? Nope!
October 10, 2012 1:45 pm
I live in NYC and nope, Dash store is always empty, no line in sight.
And those two should stick with wearing other designers (Givenchy, Celine, etc) and even this they fail at mastering it 80% of the time.
And Kim looks more striking with dark hair (no highlights whatsoever).
October 10, 2012 1:54 pm
Claire, where is the “HELL NO” option? Lol! He has totally downgraded her fashion steez and it’s her fault for letting him! I’m sorry, I am not buying any clothing from a fashion line of theirs…I don’t want to walk out the door looking “blah” all the time…I will soooooo pass on that.
October 10, 2012 2:04 pm
Nope
October 10, 2012 2:04 pm
yay! more clothes made in China!
October 10, 2012 2:12 pm
NOPE !!! Fortunately I have enough black & white in my closet….I’ll pass ! I’m so OVER Kanye and his girl. His line didn’t stand out to much the first time around & I can purchase a life squeezing dress from anywhere. With that being said Kanye stick to music & Kim…what do you do ??? Go back to doing it !
October 10, 2012 2:15 pm
how can i say no,i havent seen the clothes yet.
October 10, 2012 2:28 pm
Nope I sure wouldnt. I dont buy the Kardashin line at Sears and Kanye line isnt fully developed when he shows. Not a good match. Smart marketing for them.
October 10, 2012 2:33 pm
I voted no, but that is just under the assumption their clothes would be beyond my budget. And the Sears Kardashian line is way over-priced for the quality.
October 10, 2012 3:46 pm
And let me just throw this minutia into the mix……I’m getting a little tired of the thought of supporting a celebrity/artist line…I know, I know…if a person is super talented and I love their work why wouldn’t I support (It’s about buying what you like right?) But there’s just something in me that’s just like…..”mmmm yeah…no…I wont buy into your franchise” #stubborn #notganna
October 10, 2012 4:05 pm
Well this is easy – NO.
October 10, 2012 4:13 pm
I wouldn’t buy only because I know the prices would be outrageous and pieces would probably be ill designed. I’ll just wait for H&M to make their interpretation ;)
October 10, 2012 4:29 pm
no
October 10, 2012 4:46 pm
I really wish he would stick to rapping….
October 10, 2012 4:52 pm
YE…make them shoes wearable..and i’ll be the first to use my amex to buy that mother…but other than that…uh huh…kim and kanye can both be seat mates at fidm..they need to know wtf they are doing if they plan on designing clothing.
October 10, 2012 5:44 pm
Kanye got nice kicks!
October 10, 2012 5:46 pm
He had a good style in rapping, hope he wont start to do bad designs.
October 10, 2012 6:45 pm
I would have to see their collection before I would say if I would buy from it or not. I know I would get the shoes if they were more affordable.
October 10, 2012 8:24 pm
No, it world be boring and not make sense at the same time
October 10, 2012 8:28 pm
If Kim’s wardrobe as of late is any indication of what he line will consist of count me OUT! no Ma’am
October 10, 2012 8:39 pm
Kanye did do some studying at a fashion house ( can’t remember which one) and if i saw something Kimmy actually sketched I might be more interested. Ye can do a nice shoe though :)
October 11, 2012 12:00 am
The question is will society be able to afford there outrageous prices on the clothes if they ever did a clothing line together. It would be boring and not enough color just be a black and white portrait.
October 11, 2012 3:00 am
It depends if the price points were right and of an affordable nature and also what the creative concept of the line will be and what will it consist of. Kanye has stripped Kim of her Colour so it will be minimalist and simplicity.. back to back black and white.
The only colour(s) we are getting from Kim K these days is Khaki and Red ( If we are lucky)
October 11, 2012 3:11 am
there will always be fools out there that support Kim.
October 11, 2012 4:02 am
Is this site paid by the K’s?
October 11, 2012 9:40 am
I wouldn’t even buy their sex tape…which I’m sure they’re working on right this minute #mediawhores
October 11, 2012 10:21 am
I prefer them individually instead of a couple!
October 11, 2012 10:31 am
I wouldn’t actively seek their clothes out, but if I saw them in stores, liked an item and the price were right, hey why not.
October 11, 2012 10:49 am
Here’s the thing, I think if Kanye got his head out of his ass, checked his ego at the door and be as honest and vulnerable with his designs as he is with his music I have no doubt it could be amazing. Kanye is his own worst enemy. I don’t think the way he dresses should have any bearing on his designs. Vera Wang and Carolina Herrera personal styles are sometimes very basic but their designs are amazing.
P.S. NO!!!!!!! I would not buy anything design by K.K.
October 11, 2012 1:28 pm
LMAO at the comments! You guys make my day – for real. On supporting a line by Ye and Kim, probably not. I’m not the target audience and not quite sure who is/would be. I’m more interested in the Kim workout plan – she did do one of those Slim Quick ads. Hmmm…
October 11, 2012 5:39 pm
I wouldn’t buy it because it is their line. I have nothing agianst them. I just stick with the Chinese sweatshop couture no-name labels. Since everything is Made in China I don’t see the point to pay premium price for Chinese made goods.
October 11, 2012 6:47 pm
Celebrity clothing lines are SOOOO overrated. They hardly wear there OWN clothes. How about we just leave it to the professionals.
October 12, 2012 12:39 pm
No ma’am!! Having money does not equate to having style. I wouldn’t wear their clothes if they gave them away.
October 12, 2012 8:17 pm
If i liked any of the pieces and i could afford it then sure I’d buy.
October 13, 2012 12:19 am
Hell yea I would!! Say what you want about either one of them, but you ain’t (yes… ain’t) gone say they don’t have style! #TheEnd #Period
Their biggest customers will be those who hate them in public and order everything in private online! lol
October 13, 2012 10:57 am
Here Myisha: THEY DON’T HAVE STYLE!
They are just people. And yeah…half the time I think they look ridiculous.
Side note: it proves that style isn’t about how much you pay.
October 16, 2012 12:12 am
Hell NO!! . . . He’s dress up plan may have worked for a Amber the ex-stripper. BUT Kim’s style was so much better before he started playing stylist. He has her in clothes that are not complimentary for her body and bland and even depressing . . .those boring boy clothes are fine for him, but clearly he doesnt know how to dress a woman
