潮流圈巨头肯爷Kanye West今年争议风波不断,日前才在个人社群狂轰adidas抄袭YEEZY系列设计,还接连爆料出adidas未经他同意推出新配色以及曾想用10亿美元收购YEEZY等事件,不过肯爷往往都在IG发文后,又马上删除,让全球对于双方的合作关系,可说是雾里看花。
然而跟adidas的纷争还尚未落幕,近日出席巴黎时装周的Kanye West,又再度因个人行为引起争议,甚至全球不少名人都纷纷表达立场,挞伐肯爷。Kanye West先是出席担任时尚品牌Balenciaga的走秀Model,于泥泞中身着一袭厚重铠甲,令人感到十分惊奇。
不过,行事作风宛如狂人的Kanye West,立即就在个人品牌YEEZY秀场上,穿上一件写着「White Lives Matter」有种族议题的T恤,不仅引来后续与《Vogue》编辑的隔空开战,还牵扯到肯爷指控 LVMH 集团首席执行长Bernard Arnaud害死 Off-White主理人Virgil Abloh,连现任Supreme创意总监Tremaine Emory与知名Model Gigi Hadid 等名人也纷纷加入这场战局。
adidas发出与Kanye West的合作声明
虽然Kanye West最后出面表示与《Vogue》编辑Gabriella Karefa-Johnson已经共进晚餐并和好,但在网路上火力全开的指控与种种行为争议,让adidas今日终于发出声明,表明目前与肯爷的合作关系。
adidas今日发出完整声明:「Adidas has always been about creativity,innovation and supporting athletes and artists to achieve their vision. The Adidas Yeezy partnership is one of the most successful collaborations in our industry’s history. We are proud of our team that has worked tirelessly throughout our collaboration with Ye and the iconic products that were born from it. We also recognize that all successful partnerships are rooted in mutual respect and shared values.After repeated efforts to privately resolve the situation,we have taken the decision to place the partnership under review.We will continue to co-manage the current product during this period.」
adidas指出目前与肯爷的合作关系正在接受审查,在结果出来前,将会持续共同管理该系列产品。看到adidas的声明后,能了解目前双方的关系已经面临极大考验,究竟最后YEEZY会以何种形式持续下去呢?就让我们继续看下去吧!
