Kanye West recently came out with his Yeezy season 6 lookbook that fronted models posing in various positions such as hugging, doing handstands, and wrestling each other standing up. The photos, of course, had each model wearing the numerous offerings of Yeezy's upcoming collection that boasts simple, neutral colors for men, women, and children.
Unfortunately, Ye has been slammed for plagiarizing the photoshoot. Popular Instagram account @diet_prada, known for calling out fashion copycats, has shared images by photographer Rita Minissi and how much Ye's catalog is almost identical to Rita's 2015 series. As seen in the photos below, almost all images seem to have come from Rita's work three years ago. Kanye, or his creative team, could have simply used Rita's work as inspiration, but where's the line?
On April 18th Kanye tweeted: "too much emphasis is put on originality. Feel free to take ideas and update them at your will all great artist take and update."
We'll have to see what Rita's take on this quote is. Peep the images and let us know what you think.
