Kanye West is getting slammed for selling his latest Yeezy Gap collection out of trash bags. A Twitter user posted “This is how they are selling Yeezy GAP,” along with a picture of a bunch of clothes thrown into very large trash bags. According to a witness “The sales associate said Ye got mad when he saw they had his clothes on hangers” because “this is how he wanted it.” “They won’t help you find your size,” they added, “you just have to just dig through everything.” People are criticizing Kanye “It’s everything that is wrong with billionaires,” the dissenter argued. “They no longer see the plight of people, they don’t see humans that are suffering, they see opportunities to be ‘edgy’ and profit from it…it’s disgusting.” People are also criticizing the line because of the prices. The cheapest thing you can purchase in this particular line is a key chain for $40. It’s no secret, Kanye has actually admitted that the inspiration for his clothing is the homeless. Just this past Friday, Kanye posted on IG “Look to the children… Look to the homeless… As the biggest inspiration for all design.” You can view Kanye’s Yeezy Gap collection HERE.

Kanye West's most outrageous fashion choices
Kanye West is now selling his Yeezy Gap line out of trash bags. He’s gotten much criticism for the move. It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise seeing as Kanye’s fashion choices have always been, let’s just say a little suspect. Kanye’s eye for fashion started for him at a young age. As soon as his College Dropout album dropped, we knew he was a fan of fashion. Back then, it was rugby Polo shirts, jeans, blazers and Louis Vuitton backpacks. It seemed as the years went on and the albums got released, his style evolved. From 70s style suits to tailored suits to bomber jackets and distressed denim, Kanye has definitely changed up his looks over the years. His love for fashion has allowed him to come up with some interesting collaborations with brands like Adidas, Nike, Louis Vuitton, and now Gap. Kanye has also evolved into billionaire status because of his fashion collaborations. This has made many critics believe he is no longer in touch with the “plight of the people.” Regardless of anyone’s feelings toward Kanye himself for his music or his fashion, you gotta respect the man for having an eye and for giving us that shock value. With this latest news of his Gap line being sold out of trash bags, we wanted to go back and take a look at some of Kanye’s most interesting looks. Have some fun with this photo gallery of Kanye West’s most outrageous looks. Are there any of these pieces of clothing you’d rock? Do you personally feel Kanye has become out of touch with his average consumer? Do you feel Kanye being a billionaire has put him out of touch with the “plight of the people?” One thing is for sure, with these looks, Kanye West has a lot of people talking. Oh, and you can visit Kanye’s Gap line HERE
