part of me still feels like we got DONDA all black cover because of demna and i still feel like their reunion has been a negative influence on kanye's art past LP2
yea has been without virgil (even before his passing) so i can see this being true tbh
sad that it’s starting to feel like a 24/7 balenci commercial tho
as much as i love demna
Pre-Demna, kanye was wearing those beautiful graphic face masks and that idea morphed itself into balenciaga gimp masks which i think was a huge downgrade.
I think mowalola's gap collection has such vibrancy and an amazing colour palette that it would have been a super unique collection. the textures felt very ethereal like it was an extension of yeezy season 8 mixed with a little outerspace cowboy vibe.
i think generally demna and balenciaga's influence has pushed kanye to wearing plain balenciaga fits and adopt this all black collection with very inaccessible dystopian "balenciaga runway" fitting clothes. the gigantic elongated tees were definitely a balenciaga influence.
That 2020 era was created more organically with smaller, innovative designers like Ding and it would have been a far more interesting collection
I think I partly blame mowalola as well since she left the company (I don't remember hearing that she was fired)
Plus she went back into straight y2k streetwear rips for her latest collection after Yeezy Gap. Her work was a lot more interesting beforehand.
I don’t see what ya see with that Mowalola s***. That era had me nervous for YZY Gap.
I’d take the Balenci era over that any day of the week. The only real issue is pricing. But the actual collection better than what I was seeing from Mowalola influenced s***. The best pieces from 2020 is the regular SZN 8 items. Those colorful cargos n s*** wasn’t hitting and I still think the weakest piece he released was that round jacket. I think the brand is still recovering from that being the first piece that the general public seen.

I think Demna was one of the reasons LP2 was so f***ing perfect

What era of Yeezy or Yeezy Gap was influenced by her? From what I recall she came and went without doing much.

wym? she was barely cd if i remember correctly and it was only for yzy gap, not yeezy
dingyun had szn 8 looking amazing and like an actually interesting brand for once, which is kinda how you knew kanye wasn't the one behind it since it looked way different and some jp inspired.
agree on the round jacket being weak. the vests and jackets from the show were far better
If this was the perfect hoodie that released, it would have actually been perfect

Honestly these boots would have changed the game.

The rumoured YZY Gap pieces to begin with. The colorful cargos and s***. There’s fit pics of Ye wearing them s***s in Wyoming. Those s***s trash. Round jacket I attribute to her era as well and it’s the weakest s***. She was still part of YZY Gap when that was released. Those pieces are definitely worst than the Balenci inspired s*** imo.
SZN 8 fire and I think that’s definitely better than the Balenci collection. However, I think some of those SZN 8 pieces will make its way to YZY Gap. I just think the Balenci collection. Not price point but the collection is a step in the right direction from what I was seeing before from just YZY Gap in general.

The round jacket was her era. She was still head of YZY Gap when that piece released. Also some of those pics from that era of rumoured YZY Gap pieces weren’t hitting imo.

I would bet it's more because ye was recording in the stadium, walking around the pitch dark & hearing the music in there.
Hence the change from LP1 Hurricane beat to the more ominous, echoing final version. Or all those pics in the dark warehouse with Carti. Not sure when ye started wearing all black though.

i'd have to see pics cause i don't really remember the colorful s*** ngl
I've only really paid attention to the few pieces i was interested in, like the vests he wore oon his ranch, the perfect hoodies before they actually dropped, cause colors and fit don't look the same.
i hope the round jacket wasn't some weird kanye ubisoft downgrade of the cropped puffer from szn 8. Pretty sure the two boots are the only things we've gotten so far

no everyone would just look dumb as s*** wearing that

I hope you don’t think that the model not wearing half the sweatshirt is the design of the hoodie

The Yeezy Gap x Balenciaga hoodie are very similar to this.
I own one, & they are far superior to the Perfect hoodies
I'm seeing round jacket hate?? That s*** was one of the best pieces I've seen from Ye outerwear wise
Damn y'all don't like the round jacket? If you get the right size they are dope!
