Kanye West has been committed to tackling the homeless crisis in Los Angeles late last year, meeting with the city and charity organizations to discuss ideas and formulate a plan to solve the growing problem of homelessness. 

On Thursday (January 27), TMZ reported that Ye is planning a major charity fashion show that will provide funds and opportunities for the city’s homeless population. 

Yeezy is joining forces with L.A.-based streetwear brand Skid Row Fashion Week for a collaborative collection and fashion show, employing homeless people to manufacture and model the clothes on the runway. 

Owned by multi-faceted artist, David Sabastian, Skid Row Fashion Week has been donating a portion of profits from sales to those living on Skid Row and hiring homeless people at its factory. 100% of the profits from the Yeezy collaboration will go toward helping people living on the streets while providing more employment opportunities. 

Sabastian says the seed of the idea was planted earlier this month when he met with Kanye West while he was working on Donda 2 in L.A.’s Arts District, not far from Skid Row.

The Yeezy x Skid Row Fashion Week collaboration is set to drop on February 22, simultaneously with Ye’s upcoming album Donda 2. Various posts on Sabastian’s Instagram show graphics combining Kanye’s blue Yeezy Gap logo with SRFW silhouettes.

​​According to TMZ, the duo will incorporate items found on Skid Row into the collection, with the idea of a trash bag puffer jacket being explored.
