Kanye West will unveil his first womenswear collection during Paris fashion week. The S/S 2012 collection will be shown as apart of the official schedule at 9.30pm on October 1, directly after Jean Paul Gauliter and Loewe, contrary to reports that West was going for a presentation-style format for key editors only. The looks are being kept under lock and key but we’re already getting excited for the most talked-about show of the season which, if it’s anything like its designer, is sure to be larger than life.

We all know that his original collection Pastelle is defunct but rumors swirled for months about this womenswear collection! I was skeptical but then it was confirmed by numerous sources such as NY Mag. It was also revealed that Kanye was working w/the likes of Central St. Martin alum Louise Goldin and consulting w/Harper’s Bazaar Australia editor/freelance stylist Christine Centenera on the collection.

By my friend Jovon nice poem

So what he’s not Mr Right!!!

Too often we women get hung up on the thought of Mr Right; having a luxurious wedding with ugly bride’s maid dresses (so that they don’t out shine you) and a cute little flower girl, all to live out a childhood fantasy. For once why don’t we stop trying to marry every man we’re with and live in the moment? In a way, anyone you are dating is a Right Now. Why? When you’re dating someone, no matter how wonderful they are, no matter how much you have in common, no matter how promising the relationship may seem, you can’t possibly know 100% if they’re going to be a permanent fixture in your life. And if you’ve been searching for a while, you’re likely to be keenly aware of this. It’s okay to wonder, but instead of fixating on “Is this the one?” You may want to pour more energy into the joy and entertainment of what is happening in the now.
Sometimes you find yourself spending time with someone you know doesn’t have long-term relationship potential, and yet you may be “coming of age” or find your “biological clock is ticking.” But in reality, when you haven’t found the one, it’s natural to want company in some form that fills the romantic relationship void. How long you want to spend there is up to you -- but it's important to be honest with yourself about the whole situation. Give yourself the freedom to enjoy another's company, even if you are pretty sure they aren't "the one." Being open to possibilities and learning more about the dating experience will always benefit you on the road to finding the love of your life.

Mr Right vs Mr Right now is a simple phase that may transcend into something bigger but the key is to just live in the moment without forcing anything. Enjoy Mr Right now and don’t take him for granted!! Take this great opportunity to “test the waters” and learn more about yourself, what you will tolerate and what you don’t want in a lifelong partnership. Mr Right is a life saver in my opinion; just think divorce, infidelity and boredom could possibly be eliminated in a marriage because you’ve already experienced a period of time that conditioned you to be capable of enduring the “til death do us part.” How perfect would this world be if relationships would last and content was not just a state of mind but a lifestyle?? I honestly think that waiting on Mr Right is the WRONG answer; time waits for no one so why wait? Live with assurance that what’s meant to be will be; but in the meantime experimenting with Mr Right now makes the wait “worth the while.” Everyone out there has a soul mate and there's someone who will love you unconditionally. Be patient and love will come from some unexpected place when you least expect it to.
