Ex-YEEZY GAP Designer Taps Ye’s Wife to Model NSFW “Clothes”
It’s been a tremendously busy month for YEEZY founder Kanye “Ye” West. Things only continue to pick up steam as Ye’s wife, Bianca Censori, models NSFW clothes created by Mowalola, former YEEZY GAP designer, presumably as part of a new YEEZY collection.
On May 17, Mowalola quietly uploaded three images of Censori wearing NSFW clothes that look more like electrical tape than actual apparel. As is typical for Censori these days, Ye’s wife is nearly nude, wearing black thigh-high boots and some sort of tight jersey-like material over her chest and (barely) lower torso.
And when we say lower torso, we’re talking the mons pubis and a cross placed on Censori’s tailbone.
Highsnobiety has reached out to Mowalola for comment.

It’s interesting that Mowalola appears to be again working with Ye and YEEZY, given that the British designer was announced to be heading up the YEEZY GAP collection back in 2021. Presumably, she left the YEEZY GAP project on good terms, though this impromptu photoshoot with Bianca Censori doesn’t confirm that Mowalola is necessarily designing for YEEZY or that this potentially one-off shoot was even related to Ye.
However, the cross motif recurs in Ye’s output and even he shaved it into his head in mid-May, presumably as a physical manifestation of his Christian Nationalist ideology.
Censori’s skin-baring Mowalola getup has more than a few of Ye’s fans confused.
Especially given how often the uber-Christian Ye blamed his “pornography addiction” for negatively affecting his life, the frequently provocative imagery he produces of Censori reads hypocritical to even some of Ye’s most ardent fans.
“That ain’t Christ-like,” several commenters opined.

In the past thirty days, we’ve seen a lot of the formerly lowkey Ye and Censori, who Ye married in a secret wedding ceremony in January 2023.
In subsequent weeks, we’ve suddenly been witnessing Ye and Bianca Censori show up all over Los Angeles, popping up at the presumed new YEEZY store on Melrose Avenue, a gym, and even Chick-fil-A. They’ve been wearing some pretty wild stuff, including tights instead of pants and MMA shinguards as shoes, revealing a strange new YEEZY uniform unlikely to captivate fans given the lack of relaxed sweatpants and sneakers.
Meanwhile, adidas is reportedly gearing up to sell off its leftover stock of YEEZY sneakers for charity, offering fans one last chance to buy into the YEEZY they used to know.
