Word on the curb is that Kanye West borrowed one of Kim Kardashian‘s leather skirts last night.
I kid. But seriously… Mr. West stole the show with his ‘fashion forward’ attire during Wednesday’s 12-12-12 concert benefiting Hurricane Sandy relief efforts.
West, 35, took to the stage for his performance wearing a black Givenchy leather skirt and leggings combo. His look immediately drew hilarious comments and jokes online and Kanye’s leather skirt even garnered it’s own twitter account!
More photos + video of Kanye’s performance below…
A Kanye’s Skirt twitter account popped up just moments after Yeezy hit the stage for his 20+ minute set:
What do you think of men in skirts?
Is Mr. West’s “Fashion Forward” attire “Hot” or “Not”?

Kanye was rocking that Kilt – love a man that intimidates the world
even the leather leggings was hot. if only we could raise enough money to buy his soul back from the devil but Kim K keeps outbidding us.
im nat mad at kanye, but i bet his balls are! lol a leater kilt? with leater pants? i know his balls was sweaty as fuck! LOL
baaaaaaaaahahahahahahaha!!!!
NO ma’am…don’t care how much swag you got wearing a leather kilt & leggings is a #FAIL..doing too damn much!
baaaaaahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!
My thoughts exactly. Kanye just doin too damn much and everything he does seems forced. What straight male would rock a skirt, leggings and a damn hoodie? Nothing about that screams "fashion forward" – I think him and Pharell are clowns. I don’t care how fine yall think Pharell is…he’s a clown. But back to Kanye. I just can’t with his antics…that’s what these are…antics…no damn dudes gon start rockin skirts and his ass ain’t either…just doing too much. I can’t and I won’t.
He looks stupid. Every piece of expensive material is not fashion.
Exactly. Wtf is wrong with these people. There is a shortage of REAL MEN out there. If he was raised by one aint no way in hell that he would have thought that, that outfit was acceptable. I hate dudes like that. I really believe that he does that kinda stuff for attention!
Well maybe if some of you women didn’t look and act like men then men would act more like men. You women keep beating them to the punch.

I’m a traditional kinda girl and wouldn’t stand next to a man "dressed“ like that, but as a celeb I think he kilt it- pun intended.
Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, Flo Rida, Justin Beiber etc have all worn MUCH worse. Hell, Kanye has worn worse!
Kanyé looked ‘HOT’ alright….a HOT A$$ MESS! I’m sorry, no GROWN A$$ MAN needs to be dressed in full leather let a lone a leather skirt & leather jeggings like he’s a 6 yr old girl! But I’ll take Kanyé in a kilt over him botchin ANOTHER hurricane relief fundraiser any day!
And watch some of these fools start walking around in skirts as the newest trend for men.
Lol. The comments are hilarious. Strangely enough, this whole skirt thing on Kanye doesn’t bother me too much. I’m all for a thought-provoking outside-the-box kinda attire for stage performances … and it looks pretty masculine to me as well. I think he did a good job keeping it rough around the edges with the hoodie … it keeps it masculine. Who knows … Maybe I’m just too exposed to Scottish trends. Now, if men start wearing skirts as an everyday thing it would definitely take me a while to digest it.
I know they say that when you start dating someone, eventually you may start to look like them…but hell, dressing like them…I wish my man would put on a damn skirt…ninja, you ain’t Scottish!! Meanwhile….I was surprised as hell that they even got Kanye to perform at the Hurricane Relief concert…I guess him saying Barrack Obama doesn’t like black people wouldn’t have been as controversial as when he said George W didn’t like black people….I still get tickled pink thinking of Mike Myers face after he said that shit!!!
i cant believe they clowned kanye that damn hard on twitter! good for him! baaaaaaahahahahaah!!!
That sh*t only looked good on M.J. and M.J.’s gone. Kanye will NEVER be of M.J.’s caliber so sh*t looks stupid.
And I AM talkin’ bout the gold kilt Mike wore in "Remember the Time".
Hell to the MF’ing nah! Kanye is running around here telling kim k how to dress, and no one told him not to carry his black a55 out there in a woman’s hoodie with slits up the side, a leather knee length skirt and the killer is the black leggings….finished off the look nicely! he is an a55 hole for real…..get ya man Kim get ya man.
Being, as I am, in love with most things Scottish, I get it….but on Kanye’, I’m just not feeling it. It simply does not look natural on him. Maybe it’s the whole ‘portraying yourself one way’ at your introduction, then deciding to ‘be yourself later’ trend that hollywood and ‘the business’ is rife with; but had he done things like this from jump street, it wouldn’t seem like such a reach. Thankfully, I’ve been that eclectic kid’ all my 40years; so nothing I do/wear even makes my friends/fam’ blink twice.
This dude is sick! I think he’s lost his mind!
Lol best comment!
His fashion choices have always been questionable. On another note, I dont like how the NY Daily News did a five page spread on the concert but didnt feature any of the black artist that performed.
side eye @ NY Daily
what the fuck was Kayne thinking wearing a hot ass pull over with a hot ass skirt with the matching leggings. I mean damn he is about to fall out on that hot ass stage. Look at his fucking face! See that sweat?!??!? Nigga you are a hot ass mess, you need to pull that shit off! OFF! OFF! One last thing… Kayne, NIGGA You gay! *Riley Voice*
I bet he smells just like he looks….hot and nasty. Whoever think that outfit is fashion forward is ass backward.
Not.
I knew some the comments would be negative before I even clicked the link. That being said, men wearing kilts in fashion is nothing new, I have a friend who did this over five years ago. Kanye looked good in it, and everything isn’t for everyone, so let it go…
Skirts are unisex. Men have worn skirts for 8000+ years – since before Cleopatra’s Egypt, through the Greeks, Trojans, Mongols and Romans, through the Vikings and Celts, to modern day Scottish Highlander regiments of the U.K. Armed Forces. Also, in much of Asia, Pac Rim, and AFRICA, skirts are frequently worn by men. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men%27s_skirts#In_non-Western_cultures)
Those who say that Kanye shouldn’t wear a kilt/skirt (his was a kilt unless one includes "made of wool" in their definition of "kilt") because he is an African-American with no "Scottish heritage", are ignoring the fact that Kanye’s African heritage includes the sarong, kikoy, kitenge, kanga and caftan.
More importantly, those who say that Kanye shouldn’t wear a skirt, are promoting prejudice and sexism. The complete statement of this prejudice is (1)"Men don’t wear skirts.." (2)"..because skirts are feminine.." (3)"..and feminine is bad". #1 is sexist against men – dictating a restricted dress code based on gender. #2 is false – because skirts have always been unisex. #3 is sexist against women – the same old patriarchal misogyny that feminism has been fighting for decades.
I am not saying that any man must wear a skirt. That would contradict my point – that nobody has the right to tell another how they are "allowed" to dress, nor should anyone apply ridicule, derision or shame to punish another for how they dress. I say, judge Kanye on the content of his character, not the cut of his clothing. Fair enough?
I’m trying to figure out why is everybody so fixated on his skirt and leggings. Well,I guess that is what he really wanted.. Everybody talking about the skirt and NOT paying attention to the fact his sweater is of the devil carrying Jesus Christ. Such Blasphemy he continue to display. Now lets hear people talk about that!!!
