It’s 2012. Jay-Z and Kanye West have linked up for their collaborative “Watch The Throne” album. “Yeezus” is coming out next year. And Ye is donning Riccardo Tisci’s Givenchy all day. Life is good.
The early 2010s were the peak of Ye’s Givenchy era. And we gotta be real, it’s what took him from well-dressed rapper to a fkn drip GOAT. It was also the time that Virgil Abloh was Ye’s artistic director and stylist. Ye wore Tisci’s designs on his tours, including the infamous and groundbreaking for the time custom leather kilt he wore on the “Ni**as in Paris” music video and live performances, which got a lot of hate and homophobic comments from the press and the internet at the time. Fr, had no one seen a man in a skirt before?
Tisci even designed Kim K’s couture wedding dress at her and Kanye’s wedding in 2014.
