Giali Padded Denim Jacket

Background: Given to Ye by Johan Galaxy, Ye would wear the Giali Padded Denim Jacket on 10/14/2021, in Paris, and some days later in Berlin, where Demna and his design team would extend the sleeve length, adding more material to the top of them, and remove the Giali logo. It would then later be further customized heavily, distressing it, and adding more material between the shoulder padding and sides to give it more length and width (Originally had some alterations by Johan). Ye then wore it during the last half of the Free Larry Hoover Benefit Concert on 12/09/2021. During this time, the Padded Denim Jacket would become part of YGEBB as it wasn't originally part of the Collection, and the Giali Padded Denim Jacket would serve as the reference for initial prototypes by Demna and Balenciaga.
