Kanye West x The Giving Movement: Could A Collaboration Be in The Works?
The home-grown streetwear brand, founded by Dominic Nowell-Barnes, could have a very interesting project in the pipeline after he posted a photo with the Grammy award-winning artist this past weekend…
Is Dubai-based sustainable streetwear brand The Giving Movement teaming up with Kanye “Ye” West for… a collaboration? Partnership?
Speculations rose after founder and CEO Dominic Nowell-Barnes, took to Instagram to share a photo of the rapper-turned-entrepreneur with the caption, “All business. No cap.”
“TGM’s wildest plot twist so far,” wrote Khairunisa Suhail, Head of Design at The Giving Movement, in the comments, leading fans to suspect the brand and the Grammy award-winning artist could have quite the project in the pipeline.
In 2006, Kanye crafted his first set of sneakers and decided to release his brand Yeezy, in a partnership with adidas Originals in 2013. Since then, Yeezy has garnered widespread acclaim due to its unique designs, celebrity endorsements, strong social media presence and limited quantities.
While Yeezy is primarily known for its footwear, the brand unveiled its first clothing line at New York Fashion Week in 2015.
Kanye was recently spotted at Riyadh Season’s Battle of the Baddest in October.
In 2020, Yeezy released its first pair of vegan shoes made from harvested algae, a move that aligns with The Giving Movement’s goal of offering ethical fashion alternatives and promoting environmental sustainability. The Giving Movement has created bio-based sugarcane slides, it has yet to release a complete line a sneakers.
Therefore, it isn’t too far fetched to assume Kanye West and The Giving Movement could be working together in the near future…
