Would YOU wear Kanye West's flesh-coloured body suit in public? One brave FEMAIL writer tries it (with some surprising results)


  • 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.

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.
Writer 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.'

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. 
His biggest fan: Kanye's wife Kim Kardashian showed up to the event wearing a brown body stocking with a grey crop top and a camo jacket 

She loves it: Kim left the show wearing her Kanye designed outfit
