First Look: The Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga Collection

Call it a hacking, a creative exchange, or, like longtime collaborators Kanye West and Balenciaga designer Demna Gvasalia, an engineering. Whatever you call it, the next eight Yeezy Gap pieces are

set to drop today at Yeezygap and Farfetch (after a countdown timer on the former was constantly reset over the course of Tuesday). They look like Gap remade for the dystopia.

The collection is in line with the only two Gap pieces Kanye has released so far, the hugely successful bulbous, waxy Round Jacket and cropped Perfect Hoodie. Out, for the most part: logos and branding. In: shapes, materials, and silhouettes more recognizable than any insignia. There are hoodies and T-shirts, layered over or under ponchos, long draping tees, and shackets. There is a tracksuit, a jumpsuit made of what appears to be the swishiest material, and baggy billowing pants. Almost everything is cast in black, save for a light wash and tattered denim jacket and jeans. Of course, every model in the look book is wearing a full face covering. Prices range from $120 to $440.
