If Kanye West has an announcement to make these days he avoids the traditional path of press releases and interviews. The rapper turns straight to the masses in 140-character quips and unleashes his thoughts, welcome or not, on Twitter.
For the past week, Ye has been talking about fashion and his fashion week experience. In addition to addressing how his friends have been treated (he says the industry turned on Carine Roitfeld when she was fired from Vogue Paris; until now many believed the former editor-in-chief had resigned) he tweeted his own opinions of what constitutes modern style. A piece of your wardrobe that he isn’t a big fan of: your blazers.

Guessing we now know a piece that we will no longer see Mrs. West in anymore.
What he prefers?

Sounds pretty appropriate for the times; in the past two years, leggings and yoga pants have really become a stand in for actual trousers though most of the fashion elite protest the trend.
But, the Atlanta-born lyricist just wasn’t talking personal style, he also shed some light on his own fashion trajectory. Amongst other tidbits, he revealed that Olivier Rousteing the designer of Kardashian-favorite brand Balmain, designed for the Yeezy line.

And it wasn’t only Rousteing lending his fashion cred to Yeezy according to the creative. Apparently Demna Gvasalia also played a part. Gvasalia shot to the forefront of the industry due to his work with Vetements but also just debuted his first line for Balenciaga. That runway show drew criticism due to its lack of diversity.

Today, the designer kept the tweets up revealing that there’s much more Yeezy in store. According to Ye’s Twitter account, we can expect a whopping six collections a year in addition to three albums.

Is the world ready for all of this Kanye West?! Guess we will have to wait to see.
