Kanye Frequently'Upper'
Is it all alive again?
It seems that "Mask Ye" has been "returning" for some time. From the original Vintage Tee to the latest "stocking headgear" shape, the new image of Ye has also undergone many changes.
Looking back on Kanye's obsession with masks, it has been reflected in the YEEZUS period; the stage performance with a variety of custom Maison Martin Margiela masks inlaid with jewels is now a classic.
And this year, players on Grailed sold the cone-shaped hood that Kanye personally wore in the MV of "BLKKK SKKKN HEAD" released by Kanye for $8050 for on Grailed (authenticity is yet to be verified).

By the way, although I am very keen on the single product of face masks, in the past Kanye is usually only used when performing or attending parties; however, it is also called such high frequency wearing in daily life recently. The first time.
with Pierre-Louis Auvray pattern
early June,Kanye wears a face mask and YEEZY x GAP on a hot day. The blue version of the first single product "Round Jacket" was unveiled with Nike Vandal shoes.
The images of Jesus Christ on the mask and two winged children are from the designer Pierre-Louis Auvray . According to rumors, he will also participate in the subsequent YEEZY x GAP series.
When taking photos and videos with friends taken by Kanye's personal dentist, he still chose to wear a Pierre-Louis Auvray mask.
And a few days later, on the streets of Los Angeles where the temperature was as high as 43 degrees Celsius, Kanye still chose to wear another Pierre-Louis Auvray remodeled face mask. It’s worth mentioning that, according to reports, in the same week’s lawsuit with a company called MyChannel, Kanye also ignored the other’s lawyer’s request and refused to take off the mask because "the other party does not have the right to look at his face." .
Vintage Tee remake
Recently, in the front row of the Balenciaga Paris couture show, Kanye's upper body YEEZY x GAP "Round Jacket" black version, while using the same color Vintage Tee to transform the mask, quickly became a hot topic of discussion.
It is reported that this black mask is made of two pieces of Hariley Davidson's Vintage Tee .

Balaclava & "flesh stockings"?
Last week, Kanye returned without warning. IG created momentum for the new album "Donda". The all-black look and balaclava hat give it a "gangster" atmosphere.
And a few days later, at the "Donda" audition held at the Mercedes Stadium in Atlanta, Kanye wore a red YEEZY x GAP "Round Jacket" with flesh-colored stockings, which once again surprised everyone.
At the same venue one day later, Kanye still appeared in the audience in the same shape.

'new Donda' in the army?
About why Kanye wears masks so frequently,There are different opinions. And W Magazine uses "Streisand effect" to explain, which means that the more Kanye tries to prevent us from getting to know him, he can attract more attention, maybe we can understand that this is his new album "Donda" and the following YEEZY x GAP is a means of publicity.
