We’re informed the couple likewise invested a long time in a neighboring Neiman Marcus … however it’s uncertain if KW and BC left that shop with any sweet threads.
BTW, Kanye seemed using a tee shirt with the coat of arms of the German Reich … utilized prior to the Nazis embraced the swastika. It’s likewise got the word “Bundeswehr” composed above — the name for the federal defense forces in Germany.
That aside, it’s still a little odd Kanye’s paying out huge cash at the very same location that cut ties with him in October … while the brand didn’t explain, you’ll remember business were dropping him left and right at the time after he went on several antisemitic rants.
Ya gotta figure they’re making him pay retail now.
