11 KANYE WEST

AS POLARIZING as his creations as a designer have been, Kanye West has set his own standard in combining music and fashion. Last summer, while debuting Donda at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium, West donned a black spiked jacket from Balenciaga. “He makes me come out of my comfort zone,” said Balenciaga’s creative director, Demna Gvasalia. Meanwhile, West is keeping his Yeezy line accessible, joining forces with the Gap. “I’m only concerned with making beautiful products available to as many people as possible,” he said in 2015. K.R.
