Kanye West fans waited in line overnight in lower Manhattan for the chance Friday to buy pieces from a new clothing line centered on the rapper-turned-fashion mogul’s latest album, “The Life of Pablo.”
The store was among 21 that opened worldwide just for the weekend.
Brittany Fletcher, who said she waited more than five hours to make her purchase, explained why it was important to buy some T-shirts. “It’s not one of a kind, but it’s rare,” Fletcher said.
Mohammed Khamis, who spent $1,000 on merchandise, complained about the manufacturer of the shirts – Gildan, which also makes much less expensive lines.
“I’m not going to lie. The thing he has to fix is the Gildan. … C’mon man … charging me $90 for a sweatshirt,” Khamis said.
Other cities where the pop-up stores opened include Los Angeles, Toronto, London and Berlin.
Items for sale include a $400 military jacket and a $50 baseball cap.
