The Fashion World Has Moved Beyond Yeezy’s Aspirations

In the past year, Ye has waged a comeback. He took out an ad in The Wall Street Journal apologizing for his antisemitic remarks, and in March he released "Bully," his first album since the self-inflicted firestorm. Ye has since played sold-out concerts in Chicago, Los Angeles and Houston, suggesting that fans want to move on, or at least hear "Flashing Lights" live. All the while, he has never abandoned his design aspirations. Through his own site, he continued to sell $20 slides and boxy T-shirts. (He also, as recently as last February, sold a swastika T-shirt.) — In the past year, Ye has waged a comeback.
