What Ye is doing is dope but he very well could have built Pastelle or whatever up as a Supreme type brand over 10-15 years and still get the GAP/Adidas partnerships as opposed to going on all those rants about how Zuckerberg won’t cash app him for all those yearsdude didn’t wanna go the hardaway because “I’m Kanye ****ing West”
would have been a better story and he’d have a brand with actual streetwear heritage on its own rather than YEEZY only existing off the strength of him being Kanye West the entertainer.
Hope the GAP **** works out tho and I can get a piece or two.
There are entirely too many in depth interviews about his journey in fashion for people to truly believe this narrative.
what your asking for is essentially expecting an indie artist to Become Drake/Cole/Kendrick without any major backing. Now think of the amount of capital that would take & 3-4x it in the fashion industry.
So how did James Jebbia and Nigo do it with a fraction of the resources, following and money Ye had in a pre Internet era?
Even Pharrell essentially set the blueprint for Ye with billionaire boys and while now Bape/BBC are in the Jimmy Jazz/Zumiez/etc. tier, for a solid 10 or so years they were respected as higher end streetwear.
I understand he did try to get something popping with the OG Donda line but that was his fault for starting with women’s clothing. you telling me 07-09 Ye, as many trends and whatnot that he put the game on, would have flopped selling streetwear? Start with exclusive/limited drops and by 2012-2014 he still has enough clout to get the Adidas deal or hell maybe even get his rightful respect business wise from Nike to begin with because he was already established in fashion/apparel...as opposed to what happened
and I say this as a huge Ye fan who was paying attention to all these rants and all the forgotten bull **** he tried like the $100 or $1000 APC tee
at the end of the day it went how it went but I always thought it was nasty how he was begging white men for money like they owed him when he himself is above that. ***** Make that call privately to Jay before you go begging Mark Zuckerberg to acknowledge you![]()
