Conservative pundit Candace Owens was also present—and also wearing one of the racist shirts—at the YZY showcase.
Kanye West seemed determined to launch the ninth season of his YZY fashion label with no small amount of controversy in Paris on Monday evening, emerging in a long-sleeved shirt with the slogan “White Lives Matter” emblazoned across it. Thesaw West, 45, deliver a speech to the audience in the shirt. “I am Ye,” he said, “and everyone here knows that I am the leader. You can’t manage me.
“White Lives Matter,” designated as a hate slogan by the Anti-Defamation League, is a phrase widely associated with the far-right and white supremacists. West, who made his catwalk debut on Sunday as part of Balenciaga’s Summer 2023 collection, did not offer direct commentary on his fashion choices.
