The firestorm continues as Kanye West’s Yeezy Season 4 receives more heat. The latest critic is Project Runway star and noted fashion expert Tim Gunn who spoke with Access Hollywood about the already-berated collection.
“I’m totally perplexed about why the fashion industry has not looked at these frankly dumb, basic clothes and cried, ‘Hoax! Hoax!'” Gunn says. “Kanye West is a sphinx without a riddle. I just don’t understand why people are so in awe.”
Ye’s most recent line barely had a chance as the outcry came pouring in straight off the runway after models fainted from heat exhaustion and were throwing their shoes aside while walking. Really, the roasting began before we even saw the clothes as the Chicago rapper was thrashed for making his casting call only open to “multiracial women.”
Although the collection has not gone to retail yet, items from Yeezy Season 3 ranged in price from $200 for a T-shirt to more than $1,000 for a shearling jacket. An awfully expensive price tag for what has been dubbed “homeless” clothing, Star Wars costumes and “future slave gear.”
“I think the only thing dumber than these clothes would be the people who would buy these clothes,” Gunn concludes.
Watch Tim Gunn speak on Kanye West’s Yeezy Season 4 below.
I don’t think “lambasted” is the right word to describe Tim Gunn’s reaction………
old white man throwing shade because he doesn’t understand why people buying yeezy clothes. funny thing is this guy really wishes he was the one selling the yeezy line, not kanye
Young black kid throwing shade because he doesn’t know who Tim Gunn is. He’s been in the fashion industry for eons. Anna Wintour is 66yrs old and she’s still idolized by Kanye. What’s your point?
Why does race always have to be thrown into something when you people don’t agree. Mr. Gunn is well known in the fashion industry and a seasoned professional something Kanye will never be.
Nobody from our generation knows Tim Gunn. He doesn’t understand because he is not from our generation. Listen to him, he keeps saying “I don’t understand, I don’t understand”, “I can’t believe people buy these clothes”, honestly this guy sounds like a fool who knows nothing about fashion or the fashion industry. Learn something before you get on t.v. talking crazy
Tim Gunn knows a great deal about fashion and the fashion industry. It’s so unfortunate that you think you have to be a certain age to understand quality. I wonder, if you’re lucky enough to live to be 63 would you consider yourself ignorant because of your age regardless of your knowledge and experience. Maybe you need to learn something.
Exactly. Then again, this IS a Hip Hop site so the majority will usually spout about how “He’s old and white!” Smmfh.
Bravo , couldn’t have said it . Thank you
so youre saying YOU understand ? cause they world still tryna understand ye clothing line son.
I’m from this generation and he is absolutely correct. Word for word. Whoever is feeding kanye this pipedream that he is a fashion designer needs to be shot
Until Mr.Butta fingers start using a sewing machine, use different patterns and fabrics. I might consider. His clothes looks like wood.
Tim gunn is 63 years old and you expect him to understand the yeezy line?
He’s been in the fashion industry for eons. Anna Wintour is 66yrs old and she’s still idolized by Kanye. What’s your point?
Im 33 and feel the same as he does , Kanye can’t even dress himself much less anybody else.
Despite dudes age he apparently knows something because these clothes are trash G.. i would rock platinum fubu before these
Well said mike 😉 yeezy is a fraud.. imma touch the sky yeah please man you ain’t no Tupac u milli vanilli u fake ass Kanye kant sing or design 4shit
Word. Kick all the k’s out
Now kid is saying he doesn’t even write his own music which is totally believable because we know the kartrashins , jenners and west will sue in a heart beat if a person doesn’t have proof.
Its pretty simple if you wouldnt wear it yourself then say you dont like it. It may look good on Chewbacca but not us humanoids
Kangays next line should be called disasterous delusional designs by Kangay . At least people know what they’re getting. I have no idea why people call him a designer he can’t even dress himself.
Damn kanye how many L’s can you take? Ahaha bashed by all your peers and idols oh and not to mention those cleats you sent deandre got him a FINE because they were not deemed field or regulation worthy do you even know how much weight and pressure those guys put down on those things when they run or charge someone? What a fucking idiot hahaha i cant wait till he fades away and people finaly realize theres not shit to kanye west hes just a gigantic fucking baby with too much money too much freetime and too many of the dumbest ugliest ideas to ever be birthed into the world haha i look forward to many more L’s in the future kanye your becoming like your wifey and familg the whole worlds just watching for when you finaly crash and burn catastrophicaly so we can all laugh about it at work tommorow haha
Damn… you REALLY dislike Kanye, huh? It’s going to be ok, buddy. Go ahead and hold your breath on him “crashing”… dude’s on top of the world right now. You?… Mad because of it.
kanye is a piece of shit on everything he makes
Yo let this man create! Shit. If you don’t want it don’t buy it! Criticism will not stop this man from eating. I wouldn’t buy the Shit either, but it’s funny how stores like H&M are jacking dudes trend and people are buying it, but are quick to bash the real thing. Yall some basic mfs still wearing Cole haans and Jordans like you know fashion. Stop following and start leading.
Tim Gunn dislikes Kanye and the Kardashians personally. So he’s never going to give Kanye credit when he steps foot into HIS domain. But I will laugh that haters cling to his words. Yeah… 63 yr old white male is going to be the one to critique urban fashions? There are areas Tim Gunn can speak… many of them. But this? Nah. Like asking a Rolls Royce expert what he thinks of a GTR.
