Fans of Kanye West have more than just their underwear in a tangle.

The fashion designer-turned-rapper is being criticised online for selling his current apparel range out of trash bags.

A New York-based Twitter user captioned a photo of clothing put into giant black garbage bags and placed on the floor of a Gap store, “This is how they are selling Yeezy GAP.”

According to the eyewitness, “The sales associate said Ye got mad when he saw they had [his clothes] on hangers” because “this is how he wanted it.”

“They won’t help you find [your] size,” they added, “you just have to just dig through everything.”

The image sparked major backlash, with several critics slamming West’s “fetish” with using homeless people as “fashion muses.”

“It’s everything that is wrong with billionaires,” the dissenter argued. “They no longer see the plight of people, they don’t see humans that are suffering, they see opportunities to be ‘edgy’ and profit from it…it’s disgusting.”

One person wrote, “This gotta be a social experiment,” while another joked, “Finally, something to satisfy my instinct to burrow.”

Another outraged customer reported seeing the similar Yeezy Gap display in a Houston store, stating, “I can say this would make me quit my job if I were still on the visuals team.”

Others criticised the collection itself, which consists of an assortment of bulky, dark grey sweatpants, sweatshirts, and accessories priced between $40 (keychain) and $340. (T-cut parka).

“This oversized s–t needs to stop. Buddy looks like he’s about to sit down for a haircut in that T,” one social media user quipped, while another pointed out the irony of “fishing a $240 hoodie out of a garbage bag.”

Last week, the 45-year-old father of four stated that “the homeless” were his “biggest inspiration for all design.”

His Instagram image garnered comments such as “no homeless dude buying $200 yeezys 💀” and “yes look to the homeless so we can sell middle class people $499 shoes.”

West’s representatives did not reply quickly to Page Six’s request for comment.
