After debuting his Adidas collection on Fashion Week , where both his wife Kim Kardashian and daughter North West were in full support Kanye West sat down for an interview and admitted that he lost “fashion people” and friends decided he was not good enough when he started to date Kim.

In an interview with Style.com, Kanye was asked about being a designer for Kim and how he feels about dressing his own wife. According to him, Kim has always been his muse but it was not until his second collection that he has become more known. He asserted that this was because his early efforts to build a name in the high-fashion world were affected when he started to date Kim.

When they started dating, fashion people actually decided they were not worth the time of the day because they are “reality stars." Friends who did not like Kim Kardashian at the onset, decided to “turned their backs” on him as well. However, because of this, they became better at their style, while Kanye became more known with his designing efforts. “The so-called traction that I was getting in the high-fashion world was completely thrown out the window and I was finally allowed to go to school, where every day I was in my mom [Kris Jenner]’s house, in my little brother’s old room, Rob’s old room, re-tailoring a Céline skirt, re-tailoring a Saint Laurent jacket, re-tailoring a Zara top, re-tailoring Wolford … And day by day by day, [Kim and I] learned, we got better,” Kanye said.

Last Thursday, the entire Kanye West x Adidas Originals Fall 2015 Footwear Collection was unveiled, which featured three sets of styles, geared for women and men. The collection included the Yeezy 750 Boost, a suede high top in muted gray color. Last Saturday Feb 14, just in time for Valentine’s Day, 9,000 pairs of Yeezy Boosts went on sale this Saturday at a retail price of $350.

Those who would want to own one can still get one starting Feb 28. Kanye himself shared in a Ryan Seacrest interview that they would be making more Yeezys so that everyone who wants one can get one. He said the heads of Adidas promised him that more could be made. The rest of the collection however, still has no date of release yet.
