Kanye is having the best week ever and is now reflecting on his productive week.
“I do think that it’s been a strong week…It’s been a strong past three years. From the messaging leading up to it, to that front row, to the presentation, to the price points we want to hit, to the purpose of getting product to the people. And, you know, having a think tank that’s equal to what a normal fashion house would have, but for the people.”
Yeezy then compared his status in design to Eminem as a rapper and he explained how he’s focusing and channeling all his creativity in fashion just like he did over 10 years ago when he first came into the rap scene with his solo debut album.
“I feel like I’m Eminem, you know?…You don’t think ‘white rapper.’ You just think Eminem. You don’t think celebrity designer, straight designer, black designer, all these types of things that kind of held me back conceptually in being accepted as a designer. You just think of those words. But when those moon boots come out, you put them on your feet and just swag out and go somewhere with your friends, those words don’t matter….I’m just happy that I was able to apply the mentality and passion that brought the College Dropout into existence…Now, I may finally have enough of a point of view and understanding to apply and create. Enough of a vision to make. There’s so many far more talented designers but I just have a perspective and a heart. And I’m gonna give all the heart and perspective that I can.”
