Yay wants you to know something before you judge his next show in February. 

“I moved to Rome after I left Japan and worked at Fendi for 4 months under cover … I was there to give ideas for the men’s collection,” he tweeted last night, before adding, “I snuck to Giuseppe Zanotti Factory while still under [my Louis Vuitton] contract and learned to design woman’s shoes for 2 years before my first show in Paris.”

“[I was] also offered a position to at Versace which I could not take due to my contract with LV which was for 2 years,” 

He went onto explain how he moved to Paris early last year to open an “embarrassingly small” design studio and was visited by Azzedine Alaia. And announced plans for a new label, named Donda, aiming to create “products and experiences that people want and can afford”.
