Just after the NYFW showing of the Yeezy 2 collection, Kanye West sat down with Vanity Fair.
In an interview with Vanity Fair, Ye spoke of course about his latest clothing line and provided a very brief update on his project SWISH.
Read an excerpt of his interview below:
Were you happy with the reaction to the first collection?
I think the entire fashion world at a certain point sort of looks at me and looks at my family as a child of theirs. Maybe not someone that completely grew up with them, but like an adopted child that came in, like a 17-year-old adoptee, you know [Laughs]. But still nonetheless like an adopted child. And I think it’s just interesting for them to see growth, and they can completely tell the difference in the way things were presented in the very first Paris collections to what we’re saying now.
There was a controversy over the time slot for the show. Other designers made a stink about the fact that you came in late and took away that time slot.
I totally apologize to any of those designers and anyone that wanted that slot. I would love to send them some flowers or maybe wear a sweatshirt if that could help to make up for it. A lot of times I feel like Will Ferrell in the movie Elf. You know this big guy that wants to [join in] and his hands are a little bit too big. . . . I could just say please forgive me if I ever step on any toes, because there’s nothing that I would ever want to do or say that would take away from any designer, that would take away from anyone’s work or what they’re working so hard on.
Is the album still called Swish?
It’s currently called Swish. I’m forgetting even what the last name of it was now.
I know we’re here to talk about the fashion, but people are just a little bit interested in the album. It could be another year?
I’m not sure. I’m not worried about the years. I’m worried about the life and the body of work that I can put out while I’m breathing.
