- Kanye launched his debut collection of nude body suits and crop tops for Adidas at New York Fashion Week
- Wife Kim Kardashian arrived wearing the daring designs and critics have praised the collection of sports-wear
- Femail takes the style from catwalk to High Street to see if a real woman can pull off underwear as outerwear look
- Sent writer Deni Kirkova to test the trend and captured the public's reaction on camera (it may surprise you!)
If it was up to Kanye West, we'd all be strutting around in flesh-coloured body stockings next season.
As
ridiculous as it may sound, that may well be the case as the
musician-come-designer has received an abundance of praise for his range
for Adidas from fashion editors, authorities, and influencers.
The
collection made its way down the runway on the first day of New York
Fashion Week yesterday, comprising of full body stockings, see-through
skin-coloured crop tops and visible nude pants. It's certainly a new
take on underwear as outerwear - one certainly not for the faint
hearted.

collection received an abundance of praise from fashion elite - but do
the public agree it's a hot look?
To
win praise for his fashion is certainly a step forward for Kanye - now
Femail are testing whether his clothes will be as popular with the
public.

Deni Kirkova, 24, from London, trialled the full flesh-coloured body
stocking look, stepping out on a London High Street to find out what
the reaction from onlookers would be.
She
paired an American Apparel bralet (£12.50), crop top (£10), leggings
(£14) and - of course - a £6 pair of pants, from Marks & Spencer,
worn over the top, all in a beige flesh tone, topping off the look with a
Kim K style parka jacket from Topshop.
Speaking
about her outfit, and whether she thought it worked, Deni said: 'The
problem is visible pants. It's quite funny to walk around dressed like
this now, and it's a bit of a laugh, but I wouldn't dare go out like
this seriously.
'A nude crop top and leggings, though, could work. You'd have to tone this down a notch to take it from catwalk to High Street.
'I'm
quite surprised that people on the street generally liked my outfit to
be honest - some fashion know-it-alls praised how bold it was, noting
the Kanye influence, and said that the jacket and lipstick went well
with the all-nude look.
'Some though, of course, said that the pants were too much.'

an American Apparel bralet, crop top, leggings and pair of M&S
pants worn over the top, all in a beige flesh tone, with a parka
Deni's look was inspired by Adidas Originals x Kanye West Yeezy collection seen in New York on Thursday.
The
designer's wife Kim Kardashian, 34, turned up wearing an ensemble from
the range. She liked the look so much, she even posted an Instagram
photo of herself, adding: 'My look for the Yeezy show!!!!!! Yeezy head
to toe!!!!!'
Critics similarly seemed to enjoy Kanye's latest fashion offerings with Vogue saying: 'Kanye West's New collection with Adidas lives up to the hype.'
He had the fashion bible's editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour, and top designer Alexander Wang sitting front row.
