LOOK of the WEEK goes to YZY GAP x Balenciaga’s hauntingly minimalist and unexpectedly goth collection. Ye (FKA Kanye West) has been having problems dropping an actual collection since he signed a 10-year deal with the dowdy American brand, but Balenciaga Creative Director Demna (FKA Demna Gvasalia) has stepped in to save the day in a legendary partnership with oddly dystopian results. The hoodies, tees, and jean jackets dropped on the YZY GAP website this week — ranging in prices from $140 to $440. At Ye’s Donda 2 listening party in Miami, more pieces from the exclusive line were sold as concert merch. Lines to snag the gear were reportedly absurdly long.
Runner up LOOK of the Week goes to Brooklyn drag artist Menthol Menthol, a former Mx. Nobody Competitor who has been taking genderfucking club kid aesthetics to new, dadaist extremes in surrealist shows like Unforgivable Emotional Carnivore and its spinoff Don’t Go In There, Uma! It’s A Trap.
Check back next week for more looks, lewks, and LQQKS.
