Fashion is DEFINITELY Art: Yeezy Season 9

Fashion Appreciation

Designer: Kanye West (now known as Ye), in consultation with Shayne Oliver

Label: YZY

So, to put into context, because chances are this video may be removed from YouTube, Ye debuted his "Yeezy Season 9" or YZYSZN9 ready-to-wear collection during the 2022 Paris Fashion Week. 

The highlight wasn't the post-apocalyptic couture that has some similarities to Fallout characters, but rather the controversial tee-shirt that read "White Lives Matter" on the back.

The strong stance awarded Ye a sit-down with Fox News' Tucker Carlson, where both shared their grievances ranging from Black Lives Matter and Donald Trump. The House Judiciary GOP twitter account tweeted in support of Ye, "Kanye. Elon. Trump." and then shared a video of Carlson's interview. Supposedly, segments where Ye made antisemitic comments on Carlson's show has since been removed. 

But after the interview, Ye took to Instagram then Twitter, to share his grievances towards Jews. His accounts were locked after the offensive posts. One that read "death [sic] con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE."

A few weeks ago, we learned Gap and Ye parted ways. Adidas has since placed its partnership with Ye under review.

A few days ago, he posted a video titled "Last Week" on the YZY instagram account. In that video he showed an awkward meeting -- probably took place on September 16th -- with Adidas executives in a warehouse looking place. At one point Ye holds up a clip of a porn video at the executive's face.
