One celebrity just blasted Kanye’s new Yeezy designs as ‘slave gear’
During the week Kanye West debuted his new Yeezy clothing line at New York Fashion Week. The controversial show attracted lots of attention. Firstly because of the star studded FROW, at which North West completely stole everyone’s attention.
Then there was also the fact that his designs have become the topic of much debate. While his family, the Kardashians including, have yet to stop raving about his designs other celebs are not so taken with his vision.
Rapper Ice-T, well known for his role on Law & Order: SVU as well as his hip-hop fame, took to social media to let the public know exactly how he felt about the new designs.
He definitely didn’t hold back:

He posted a photo of several of the models dressed in a range of black and green outfits from the rapper’s debut collection, Yeezy Season 1. He then added that because he’s “not POP” he can speak freely about his opinions on the designs.
While Kanye’s latest collection featured mostly nude shades perhaps Ice was doing something of a ‘throwback Thursday’?
Kanye has not commented on the tweet as of yet, but Ice isn’t the first person to take issue with the Yeezy line.
@FINALLEVEL only low IQ people would buy Kanyes clothing

When Kanye announced that his show would take place this week, it came quite some time after other, non-celeb designers had done their promotional rounds for their shows.
Specifically, designer Anne Bowen was pretty miffed about the whole thing and told Women’s Wear Daily:
“Our show date has been scheduled for months and has been on the Fashion Calendar for weeks… Yesterday we learned that Kanye West is having a show at the same time on the same date as ours.
Kanye knows he is a media sensation and it is just not ethical to do this. It's like we are David and he is Goliath. We have put our heart and soul into our show, and should not be stepped on like this."
