Getting time with Kanye West before Yeezy Season 4 couldn’t have been easy, but Vogue made it happen. In a new feature with West, the man of many hats discusses everything from his admiration of Supreme to his Saint Pablo Tour. Perhaps the most interesting topic from the piece is his plans of opening up Yeezy retail stores next year (ideally 200 locations) and his hopes to make his product less expensive:
Where will West’s first store debut? “I believe the first one will be in California, since that’s where I stay now,” he said. “I can go by there most often, check in, get the vibe. But I want to do 200 stores in the next year. That’s just me saying what I want. I’m not saying what can definitely happen but you might as well just state out loud what you want. That’ll put you one step closer to getting it.” The Adidas investment should also allow him to address one of the most persistent criticisms of the Yeezy line: that the prices are too high for clothes that are meant to be available for all. Though he didn’t offer specifics, West said, “I’m very focused on trying to make things far more affordable, far more beautiful, and for far more people.”
