We spoke to a few friends of ours who gave us some insider information on how Kanye West's YEEZY Season 2 is shaping up.

There's no doubting that Kanye West's YEEZY Season 2 will be one of the biggest collections of the forthcoming Spring/Summer 2016 season. Debuted last month in New York, the collection was recently shown to buyers during Paris Fashion Week, giving industry insiders the opportunity to get up close and personal with Yeezy's latest venture. We spoke to a few friends of ours - namely buyers who were purchasing the collection for their stores - to get the inside scoop on how things are looking for the next installment of Kanye's ongoing fashion crusade.

First of all, YEEZY Season 2's apparel will not be produced by adidas. For reasons unknown - possibly the collection's avant-garde aesthetic and extravagant price point - the Three Stripes will only be manufacturing Kanye's footwear. We believe a high-end Parisian house is handling the production duties on Yeezy's behalf. Unlike YEEZY Season 1, there were no accessories or sneakers on display - they'll be shown to retailers separately. Some women's heels (as seen on Kim Kardashian already) were on offer, alongside a crepe-soled, suede duck boot for men, which is made in Italy and priced around €500.

As we saw from its grand unveiling during New York Fashion Week, muddy, earthy tones dominate YEEZY Season 2, with the vast majority of the collection's pieces crafted from deliberately over-washed (and in some cases waxed) jersey. Both Japanese and European fabrics are used; the Japanese jersey pieces are more expensive, with shorts going for over €500, hoodies ranging between €500-600 and tees going for over €200. The pieces crafted from European cloth are priced lower - although still by no means cheap.

The heavy duty outerwear that was such an integral part of YEEZY Season 1 is almost entirely absent this time around. Instead, we're offered lightweight jackets executed in washed - and in some cases baked - fabrics. The collection is entirely made in Europe - which could mean anything from France to Romania, although given its extremely high price point, we'd bet on the former.

There are very few obvious and easy pieces overall. The collection's fit is extremely boxy - cut wide and oversized - which many may find hard to pull off. We can assume that the jersey pieces - namely the hoodies and sweats - will be the collections' biggest hits, particularly as Kanye has made them such a focal point of his outfits lately. With the aforementioned outerwear pieces lacking, the collection's pricing is less shocking than the first time around; although certainly not cheap, and a far cry from Kanye's initial proclamations of making fashion for the masses.
