appeared on Fox News<\/a> to clarify that the \u201cgarbage\u201d bags were actually construction bags, and explained that his goal was to make shopping easier and more egalitarian.<\/p>\nIt’s unclear why construction bags stuffed to the brim with clothes are more \u201cegalitarian\u201d than coat hangers, but West described himself as an \u201cinnovator\u201d and doubled down on his decision. <\/p>\n
\u201cI’m not here to sit up here and apologize about my ideas,\u201d West said. \u201cThat’s exactly what the media tries to do. Make us apologize for any idea that doesn’t fall under exactly the way they want us to think.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to the network, West also stated that he believed it was \u201cGod’s plan\u201d for him to appear on Fox News in response to the controversy (after all, He works in mysterious ways).<\/p>\n
West’s newest publicity stunt was quickly compared<\/a> to the 2001 movie Zoolander<\/em>which satirized the excesses and insensitivity of the fashion industry with a homeless-inspired clothing line named \u201cDerelicte,\u201d featuring stained and tattered clothing.<\/p>\nZoolander<\/em> was actually parodying a real fashion line created by John Galliano in 2000, but clearly, the satire still holds strong. Although, a billionaire citing homeless people as \u201cinspiration\u201d during a time of skyrocketing economic inequality seems a tad on the nose.<\/p>\nDuring his appearance on Fox News, West described his latest clothing line in typically hyperbolic language, stating:<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s not a joke. This is not a game. This is not just some celebrity collaboration. This is my life. I’m fighting for a position to be able to change clothing and bring the best design to the people.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
