Kanye West Unveils ‘Last Week’ Documentary Ft. Meeting With Adidas Executives

October 10, 2022. Leave a Comment

Embattled CEO and music creative Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) has unveiled a documentary titled “Last Week.” Providing a window on some of his activities during yet another week packed full of controversies, the 30-minute video opens with a video game sequence with characters wearing Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga apparel.

In the next sequence, videographer Nico Ballesteros shoots Ye as he plays a portion of an unreleased track titled “Fake Bitch.”

In the documentary’s most controversial section, Ye and Shervin Pishevar, an investor, are shot in the midst of a meeting with Adidas senior vice president Torben Schumacher and chief creative officer Alasdhair Willis. It’s unclear if any of the participants other than Ye knew they were being recorded. Also in attendance at the meeting was former Adidas brand president Eric Liedtke, who was part of the team that helped broker Adidas’ deal with Yeezy in 2016. During the meeting, Ye states he won’t continue to work with Adidas unless Liedtke is made CEO.

In the video’s most bizarre moment, Ye shows a porn video playing on his mobile phone to Schumacher, who oversees Adidas sport lifestyle business globally, a role that includes oversight of all brand partnerships including Yeezy. While Schumacher is immediately put off by the video and attempts to push it away, Ye notes the man in the video has a voice similar to Schumacher’s. He then explains the man is reacting with anger to his partner cheating on him, a plotline Ye views as akin to Adidas copying his designs.

Addressing West’s claim that Adidas copied Yeezy’s designs, Pishevar stated, “When someone steals this man’s ideas, his creations, it’s like you’re stealing a child. These are all children of his mind, and you’ve kidnapped them. There are Yeezy-inspired derivatives that are making significant revenue because people can’t tell the difference.”

Adidas executive Willis is married to Stella McCartney who Ye referenced in a mid-September Instagram post in which he noted he had music with Paul McCartney. Responding to Ye’s complaints, a conciliatory Willis tells him, “We can certainly do a lot better in the way we work with you.”

The video was published the day after Twitter locked Ye’s account for violating community policies. Twitter was responding to a post in which Ye wrote in part, “I’m going death con 3      On JEWISH PEOPLE…”     

The video ends with silent footage of West and ex-wife Kim Kardashian attending daughter North West‘s basketball game.

Today, Kering announced the appointment of Dublin, Today, Kering announced the appointment of Dublin, Ireland-born designer Sean McGirr as the new creative director of Alexander McQueen after the departure of Sarah Burton.

A graduate of London’s prestigious Central Saint Martins fashion school, he embarked on his career as an assistant at Burberry and Vogue Hommes Japan before becoming part of the creative team at Uniqlo. Prior to his tenure at JW Anderson, McGirr served as the womenswear designer at the renowned Belgian fashion brand, Dries Van Noten.

With the appointment of McGuirr Kering no longer has any woman creative director for its fashion brands. The visual on the slide.

A new #Gucci luggage campaign under Sabato de Sarn A new #Gucci luggage campaign under Sabato de Sarno's creative direction starring Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny, was unveiled this weekend.

To give context to the campaign, a portion of the press release reads,"Shot in an airport, the meeting place where journeys begin, the campaign explores the intimacy of traveling together through the creative lens of Anthony Seklaoui. Stills capture the fleeting spirit of Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny's airport stroll, redefining the Jet Set glamour of the 1990s."

Does this campaign count as a relationship hard launch?

Sarah Burton presented her last collection as Alex Sarah Burton presented her last collection as Alexander McQueen's creative director during Paris Fashion Week this Saturday. Naomi campbell closed the show in a stunning silver dress!

Burton's tenure as creative director for Alexander McQueen has  been remarkable, spanning an impressive 26 years. Her ability to maintain the brand's distinctive blend of beauty and edge is noteworthy.

Burton became creative director in  2010 after the tragic loss of Lee Alexander McQueen. As the only female creative director in Kering's fashion portfolio, her contributions have been significant, and her departure, in our opinion leaves a big gap in a house with a very deep and unique brand dna. 

Any thoughts on who will be the next McQueen creative director?
