Ye on Discourse Surrounding Bag Presentation of Yeezy Gap Pieces
Ye has spoken out about the recent wave of comments surrounding the in-store presentation of Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga.
As you may have seen on social media in recent days, despite the fact that such in-store displays have been available to see in person at Gap locations for nearly a month now, some had taken to criticizing the fact that pieces from the “creative exploration” were being made shoppable from large bags at Gap locations. Notably, this look was visually in line with the larger YGEB presentation.
In a new interview with right-wing platform Fox News, of all places, Ye himself has now addressed the criticism. As part of the same interview, he’s also reported to have clarified that these bags, as those who have seen the presentation in person have already noted, are not “trash bags” as some had posited.
“Look man, I’m an innovator,” Ye said. “And I’m not here to sit up and apologize about my ideas. That’s exactly what the media tries to do. Make us apologize for any idea that doesn’t fall under exactly the way they want us to think.”
Later, Ye pointed out that his art is “not a joke,” pushing back against those who may try to lump in YGEB with the traditional celeb-focused endorsement model.
“This is, like, not a joke,” Ye said “This is not a game. This is not just some celebrity collaboration. This is my life, you know? I’m fighting for a position to be able to change clothing and bring the best design to the people.”
