MTV - Kanye West discusses his new fashion line lyrics

MTV: So congratulations on this collection, it was amazing, it was incredible - I've never seen a show like that before. How did Adidas nurture you as a creative in this process? Kanye West: They just had the support of all my crazy ideas and visions, and I mean they were just an extremely, extremely supportive company. I'm happy this is only the beginning of the possibilities of what we can do together. They're an incredible tech company, a cultural company, and I think that I'm learning how to present these ideas in a forward way. A proposition of proportions, you know, from a street sensibility. If I was the 14 year old me and I'm going to high school everyday I'd want to look like the guys in this show. I'd like my wife to go to the gym with like full pantyhose and a sports bra. I would like that! That's my proposition. MTV: One of the big things for you is the democratization of fashion, right? So how do you balance the tension between having really high taste level, but wanting it to be accessible to a wide range of people? Kanye West: Taste shouldn't be used to separate, it should be used to problem solve. So I've been raising my taste level and educating myself and putting myself around people with way higher taste. And now we're using it to give something back to the people and this is the very beginning. Mark this interview, mark this interview, look back at this interview five years from now and see what happens from this. For anyone, you know who reviews the collection poorly, whatever they might do - not even to put that type of energy out there, but if they do, I really feel sorry for that they don't have a vision of what the future holds - cause you just saw the future. MTV: What role do you think that fashion has in affecting change, like your vision of affecting change in the world? Kanye West: Well beauties important and it's illegal to be naked. So what not be adorned in beauty? MTV: What is your definition of beauty? Kanye West: God
