But when shoppers (and <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/harry-lambert-depop\/\">resellers<\/a>) found themselves in the Gap stores, they were surprised, not by the lack of garments left on clothing racks, but rather the lack of racks. <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/kanye-west-teases-new-yeezy-gap-engineered-by-balenciaga-apparel\/\">Kany<\/a><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/kanye-west-teases-new-yeezy-gap-engineered-by-balenciaga-apparel\/\">e West<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/yeezy-gap-engineered-by-balenciaga-times-square\/\">Balenciaga<\/a>&#8216;s creative director Demna, and the retail giant have opted to display the clothes in an unconventional merchandising exhibit: in large trash bags rather than hung up and organized on hangers like typical store merchandise.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When Ye&#8217;s Yeezy Gap announced the pop-up in <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/yeezy-gap-engineered-by-balenciaga-times-square\/\">Times Square<\/a> last month, according to a press release, the brand described the Yeezy Gap space has having &#8220;been re-engineered and distilled to its most essential form in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gq.com\/story\/gap-kanye-west-balenciaga-demna-gvasalia-collection\"class=\"editor-rtfLink\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga&#8217;s<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> vision of utilitarian design.&#8221; And what&#8217;s more utilitarian than digging through a bunch of bins for <\/span>black, dark blue, and gray hoodies and tees?<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This is how they are selling Yeezy GAP.
