    Success is relative

    Kanye don’t crash out that same designer you’re talking about is worth way more since Yeezy could have easily established many of the deals Skims did, actually both empires would be stronger and competing to be the “brands” people look at when talking about this last decade in fashion. Everything you named that was a “logical next step” wasn’t a logic that was in her mind until Kanye influenced her

    That’s all my comment is saying. We are here today because of Ye. Simple lmao

    No it’s really not here. Skims is a billion dollar company with flagship stores in NY and other major cities. It has collabs with the Olympics, the NBA, etc. Kim’s marketing campaigns are top tier. It’s eclipsed Yeezy clothing which wasn’t doing well even before he crashed out

    Loungewear is a logical next step from underwear

    And that’s just not true. You’d be better off trying to sell that it’s Harlow’s aesthetic since she used to be the designer

    Skims is kanyes whole aesthetic lol. He gave that entire family their aesthetic. They were sketchers and tj Maxx tier before he stepped in and saved them

    Not true. Some of you guys build his ego up to the point of stupidity and these slippers are the result

    And Yeezy was an $8B company. And Kanye had his shoes and clothes on NFL, NBA, MLB, and FIFA athletes.

    Yeezy extended past brand endorsements to actually signing these athletes

    He didn’t get to reach the flagship level because he was trying to break ground with established entities like GAP and Adidas in order to accomplish his desire for affordable clothing for customers, something he couldn’t accomplish going the other route.

    And by the time he could establish these flagships stores thanks to the help of Mitchell & Ness and New Era, he couldn’t because Adidas literally blocked him from selling his designs. To the point they had to come back to Ye and made $330M in a day, then $1.6B in a month.

    Skims is not doing even a fraction of that quarterly lmfao.

    Also it leads into the EXACT COMPLAINTS he had about trying to establish those same stores that Kim was able to easily do being a white facing woman, but that’s another conversation that Ye yelled about for damn near 2 decades but all you see is Skims success

  • Jan 19

    Like let’s have a honest conversation about all the circumstances that got us here. Cause just simply saying “Kim did this all and she’s better at how she’s handled it” is not it and even she’ll admit that is not right. Ye shouldn’t have crashed out, but to minimize the success and influence level of Yeezy because of that is just disingenuous

    so intellectually dishonest

    everyone knows skims is a yeezy spinoff

    i don't even need to list all the evidence it's out there: kim schraub, yeezy season pieces vs skims etc

    kardashians were never invited to the met until ye brought kim as his plus one

    ye bossed that whole family up and refined their presentation and taste level, not a single one of them would be a billionaire today if it weren't for ye

    Shoes =/=. That’s the sports division not the clothing line. And it was managed by a degenerate sexual abuser and fizzled out. Jaylen Brown is just an idiot

    He blew 30-50 million trying to achieve success with his clothing. Kim had to restructure and took over managing everything for a bit bc he was spending like water. That’s why he went searching for backing not bc of affordable pricing. The prices stayed up and even Adidas eventually withdrew from the clothing sphere which is why he then went to Gap and Demna

    This had nothing to do with race. The stores ope bc Skims products and financials are great. They don’t even have to go IPO

    You’re being intellectually dishonest. Kanye was never a billionaire before Kim. She had more money when they got married. If it was as easy as hiring Kim aka Harlow then Yeezy would be Skims

    i just proved you wrong twice take your L and go seek employment

    What did you prove?

    I said Kanye wasn’t a billionaire before Kim. He wasn’t. Kim had more money. She did (and insisted on a prenup)

    I guess you weren’t around in 2013 or onward when he was begging Zuckerberg on twitter and talking about his debt

    She didn’t give him credit for Skims. She’s just hyping him up like I said. She did that while they were married even though it was a s*** show behind the scenes a good chunk of the time

    So her saying

    “He came up with the name, logo, font, and monochrome color scheme palette and even took over the final creative process because mine was not it”

    Doesn’t mean anything?

    I mentioned the time because you reminded me of it, did you forget lmao? What’s YOUR point here cause it sounds like your saying I can’t have more then one complaint about Ye’s fashion if you go to my OG post you’ll see I said “nobody cares about his clothes” the only mistake I made was not saying “besides mega fans” cause I forgot some interesting people will be willing to drops hundreds on plain shirts but alas my whole inspo for the post was ever since ye started making expensive plain shirts and pants he hasn’t focused on music as much which is a net loss cause his clothes (again aside from shoes) have next to 0 impact unlike his music and any non mega stan would agree with me

    My point is people do wear his clothes outside of "Mega Fans". I believe his fashion has had influence on the fashion industry. Maybe not as big as his music, but his line and venture did have impact and I think it's obtuse to believe otherwise. I am sure not as many people care about his clothing as much as his music, but I think his sales and continuation into fashion prove it may be more than just "Mega Fans" buying his clothes. I also think you saying his venture into fashion has been a net loss to his music is incorrect as he's been doing it since Graduation. Also would like to point out that I bought the shirt second hand (not paying 100s of dollars) and think some of the pricing is absurd, but like I stated in a previous post pricing wasn't in his control.

    she literally didn’t say this in the video

    But Skims OG name was Kimono and they had to change it bc of backlash. He didn’t take over the final creative process or even do all that. He helped with things (like she helped him) but he’s not responsible for this idea that she was toying with for years or the success of the company

    I’m not sure why ppl around him start sounding like they joined a cult but she def had her moments

    I remember when he said he was going to take Schraub back like this isn’t an actual person with their own free will/career who’s absolutely not giving up her position at Skims

    Anyone with a basic understanding of design can recognize that the early Skims' aesthetic is derivative of early the YZY season designs. Even if Ye didn't have a hand in Skims creative direction (which I doubt), it's abundantly clear Skims and YZY speak the same deign language.

    Anyone who can't recognize or give credit to Ye's influence on that family and their business ventures are either dense or purposefully being disingenuous.

    I think some of you see sweatpants and neutrals and think Yeezy invented that (no) but Skims also releases color, prints, tons of lace and things that would never be part of Yeezy

    It’s hella annoying not just here but he made Taylor famous and all that other stupid s***
