Keeping tabs on the latest fashion collabs these days is as complicated as knowing who Pete Davidson’s with these days. Unlike the secretive dating life of the comedian, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, however, is turning his into an open secret. True story: Photos of Ye’s recent date night were directed by him and accompanied by a first-hand account from the actress he is currently dating. Similarly, Ye’s work in fashion is looking a lot like an open relationship. Having gotten the TMZ-obsessed crowd’s attention in the last 48 hours, he has dropped news that his venture at Yeezy Gap will be joining forces with Demna’s Balenciaga on a capsule collection that will turn the world on collaborations on its head. (Remember where Gap was just a couple of years ago?) In what looks like a three-way or a five-way depending on who’s counting, this partnership – titled Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga – this partnership has a high probability of offering branded clothes had more accessible pricing. Not much is known for now except that the first items will be arriving in June. Keep tabs on Ye and his dating life – which is as effective of a new runway as any – and you just might sneak a preview or two.
