footwear yes

I liked the yzy season earth tones / distressed s*** he did

I'm not a fashionhead though, he could be a hack for all I know

Ye will have y'all wearing anything

His boots were S tier

3rd pair of the black season 4 boots

Ye peaked for me style-wise when he was wearing stacked denim and jordan 6s. That whole era was the blueprint for me and sparked a 15 year obsession

Yes, Yeezy is a good brand of fashionable, unique clothing.

Yes its interesting to look at things with after some time passed , different perspective etc

Unfathomably influential. Good is relative

can you link the mike the ruler interview?

Nope

Kanye is like Steve Jobs

There is a man with an earth shaking vision and a team of hundreds at minimum helping craft that into its fullest potential it could be from the limited amount of technical knowledge they were given by their boss

The employees are given a directive and make the most out of that vision. And with that he simply dictates which fits best which is an incredible skill in his own right

This is not to diminish ye’s role but without Virgil Jerry Lorenzo Dov Charney Steve Smith Tremaine Taz Arnold Just Don Demna and the hundreds of Southern California adjacent creatives that Kanye had intern in Calabasas and s*** out right after their work was complete there would be no Nike Yeezy, no Adidas Yeezy, no Pastelle, no KW women’s line, no GAP Yeezy, no Balenciaga Yeezy, no YEEZY, nothing

I really love most Yeezy clothing and shoes of all eras but this is a vision brought to you by many paid and unpaid interns at minimum who were able to take a weak concept and explore it to the max potential after realizing that first season concept as their boss’ “style” from that point forward

This concept works into his musical art as well, even visual art, there is literally nothing by Kanye west in the past twenty years that was not written by at minimum 6+ people realizing the vision and another five executing it once it’s laid to paper, and that’s okay. Genius creative director? Yes. World renowned designer on his own? No. He used his influence to create popularity with his visionary skills (from short films to fashion), pulling people around him to concoct the most powerful ideas possible, and used his influence as a “visionary” to create influence

Working with Ye stuff starts around 26 min.

As washed as his music

F*** NO, his actual clothes never popped off.

Jordans

Thanks
