Kanye EXPOSED by Givenchy designer Tony Spackman for stealing YEEZY designs (UPDATE: fires staff)

[ReasonableMatic]

Despite being one of the less-controversial Kanye West tweets in recent weeks, the artist has been criticised for a sketch he recently shared. Describing it as “where a YEEZY study for base layer starts” Kanye posted a series of scientific sketches, adding that he is “so excited about our new design team.”

These images appear to have been stolen from Tony Spackman, an ex-Nike designer currently working at Givenchy.

Pointing out what had happened, Spackman stated: “When Kanye rips your 10 year old Nike sketch and claims it” as well as adding that ‘Ye had photoshopped out the date and ripped the image straight from his web site.

Since his return to Twitter, Kanye has addressed the topic of originality stating that “I find myself getting stuck in the idea of originality and letting my ego push me to say things like “this person stole this from me” and the funny thing is it’ll be a reference I took from somewhere.” As it stands, Kanye is yet to respond to Spackman’s criticism.

But it's not about the fashion - it's the base of the scientific and physical research that Kanye tried to pass off as his own.

You think Kanye works on his own .

I’m pretty sure one of his designers is behind this and it’s anotomical study. For once I gotta take Ye’s side and say he prolly ain’t know shyt about this.
