Kanye West gave everyone a glimpse of his work for Gap x Yeezy collaboration. The presidential aspirant teased his new collection for the said brand, and it looked a far cry from his usual style.
Kim Kardashian's husband dropped a preview of his work on Twitter. It was a short five-second clip showing a guy helping a woman to fit her dark trousers in a warehouse. A Ripsaw EV2 luxury tank could also be seen leaving the stockroom.
According to High Snobiety, the video seemed to be shot at his ranch in Cody, Wyoming. Several clothes, which were assumed to be from Yeezy Gap collaboration, were scattered on the storehouse's foreground.
There were orange hoodies, tie-dyed swimwear, a neon-yellow fleece, and shorts and tops in a neon and pastel shade. It was a far cry from West's signature earthy-toned style from the previous Yeezy collections.

However, he seemed to use one of his most favorite patterns, the tie-dye. In the music video of "That Part" by ScHoolboy Q feat West and his Yeezus tour, he could be seen wearing "divisive hippie prints." His Yeezus Tour and Sunday Service merch collection also featured tie-dyed apparel.
Before West surprised everyone with his presidential bid announcement, he first revealed his multimillion-dollar, ten-year deal with Gap. Meanwhile, despite the reports that he already backed down from joining the presidential election, he held his first-ever presidential campaign in North Charleston, South Carolina.
The event happened a day before the state's deadline to file signatures as an independent would end. The 43-year-old rapper held the rally at the Exquis Event Center, and the year "2020" could be seen imprinted in his hair.
To know more about the people's problems, he invited a couple of young women on stage to ask the issues that concerned them, like education inequity and police brutality, ABC News noted. He, then, started his speech that covered an array of topics, from his own substance abuse to his business.
The father-of-four then talked about his "pro-life stance." He cleared that he believed abortion should be legal, but there should be more available support for people who needed it.
West said that the "maximum increase" would be everyone that has a baby would get "a million dollars "or something close to that figure. He also added that "marijuana should be free." He, then, took questions from the audience before the event, which took only an hour, ended.
