a bad rap for Aussie stylist Christine Centenera A collection that was meant to be edgy was relegated to "hooker dressing" and "rap with a capital-C" by critics, with the UK Daily Telegraph's fashion editor among those calling her on it. "There has been much breathless speculation in the media in the past few days about who was really designing Kanye West's collection," Lisa Armstrong wrote of the Spring 2012 collection. "In the end rumours settled on young British designer Louise Goldin as a possible collaborator, along with a stylist from Australian Harper's (Centenera). It was confirmed in July that West had hired knitwear specialist Louise Goldin and Centenera, a fashion editor at Australian Harper's Bazaar to oversee the design of the collection. style columnist Christina Binkley described the show as while The Daily Beast's fashion editor, Robin Givhan was also less than kind: "The collection lacked focus. The silhouettes were unflattering. And the whole project looked to be that of a beginner over-reaching. In short, it was dreadful." The clothing line - called DW after the rapper's late mother Donda West - premiered before a host of celebrities, including Anna Wintour, Lindsay Lohan and the Olsen twins, and featured Aussie models Bambi Northwood-Blyth and Abbey Lee Kershaw. 29-year-old Centenera met the rapper during the Autumn Winter 2011-12 collections in Paris in March and was flown to Paris twice monthly to work on the collection.
