The team at SPUN just had a field day with Kanye West and his aspirations to succeed in the fashion world by imaging what it would look like if Kanye appeared on ABC’s entrepreneurship-reality show Shark Tank and it’s something else. Check it out!

Last year, Kanye West appeared on New York’s Power 105.1 morning show ‘The Breakfast Club’ and spoke about the fashion industry. Some of the topics included:

 

On the separatism in fashion: 
“In clothing right now, there’s a real separatism. There are $5,000 sweatshirts, so now everyone’s spending that money, showing up at the club… It’s like, we need to spend that money on our families and stuff. my point of what I’m doing in clothing right now is I’m going and taking the talent.”

 

On his conversation with Ralph Lauren: 

“I just came from the Ralph show and I was talking to Ralph and I was like, ‘Man I need your help ’cause you know how to make clothes and I think I know what my generation wants, but it’s very difficult if you don’t have that production and that experience like what Ralph has. It’s really difficult to get those price points, like the Zara and H&M price points, if you don’t got the factories.” 

 

On the comparisons between his Kanye West x adidas footwear to Ugg boots: 

“People joke that they look sorta like Uggs. Right? But what’s so bugged out is that I’m really working on trying to make a sexier Ugg.”

 

On what he wants to do with fashion: 
“Those materials are all a game that the factories play, too. If silk is in style, silk is more expensive from the factories. You can get everything for a better price. It’s all in how you negotiate with the factories. My end goal 10 years from now would be to have everything at a Zara level.”
