World-famous rapper Kanye West, who changed his name to “Ye” with a decision he made, collaborated with the fashion giant GAP. As part of this collaboration, he created a special collection called “Yeezy x Gap”. So far everything was normal. It was no wonder that famous names collaborated with fashion companies and designed special collections.
However, Kanye West’s private collection was put up for sale in an unusual way. The famous rapper announced that he created this collection inspired by the homeless. However, no one expected something like this to happen. So much so that the Yeezy x Gap collection was placed in large garbage bags in retail stores. Allegedly, it was Kanye West himself who wanted this to happen.
This is how the private collection is sold
A customer, who was slightly surprised by the incident, told what he experienced in the GAP store. The user, who shared on his social media account, said that he asked the store clerk why such a thing was done, and the answer he received was that Kanye West wanted it like that. Moreover, Ye saw the collection on the hanger and got angry about it. Later, such a solution was found. With this; It is also among the rumors that the store employees are not helpful and that the right size should be found by the consumers.
It is unknown why Kanye West did such a thing. However, this situation drew backlash on social media. Users argued that this approach was a premium over homeless people. Others said that no one would bother looking for $240 worth of sweatshirts from a garbage bag. There was no statement from Kanye West and GAP on the subject.

It’s an art.
I don’t think this election is about fetishizing the homeless. I think Kanye chooses to stuff them in garbage bags in the middle of the store as proof that unlike the rest of the industry he doesn’t need fancy displays to sell a product.
Kanye’s fetish of seeing the homeless as “fashionables” is everything that’s wrong with billionaires… They no longer see people’s plight, they don’t see people in pain, they see them as opportunities and they profit from it… It’s disgusting
I don’t care for Kanye as a person, but I love what he does. He makes big money by making the rich buy clothes like the poor.
Sorting $240 clothes out of a garbage bag…
This could be a social experiment.
