Yeezy is coming to a GAP store near you. Today, Kanye announced a longterm partnership with GAP that will include him designing clothes for men, women, and kids that will be available in 2021. The “Yeezy Gap” partnership will allow West’s designs to be more affordable to fans. This opportunity is personal to West, who worked for GAP as a teenager in Chicago. He also mentioned to style.com in 2015 that he wanted to be a creative director of GAP and that he wanted to be known as “the Steve Jobs of the GAP”.
