Bianca Censori is making her voice heard in a recently resurfaced throwback video.
Most people familiar with the wife of Ye, born Kanye West, have never heard her speak. But a clip on Reddit has Censori speaking in a Zoom meeting during the 2022 CFS Summit in Paris back in her architectural design days at Yeezy.
The rapper’s wife was the head of architecture for the brand, which is where the couple initially met before eventually getting married.
“I’m an architectural designer from Melbourne, Australia,” Censori says in the video. “I currently reside in Los Angeles, and I’m a lead architectural designer at Yeezy.”

She goes on to boast about her experience in the field noting, “My passion for architecture lies in fabrication, conceptualizing the future of built space and exploring the bridge between the physical and the meta.”
The video of Ye’s typically silent wife speaking put the internet into a frenzy.
In addition, it’s clear Censori’s look has changed a lot over the years, In the video she has longer hair and a more natural look overall.
These days, Censori can be seen (but never heard) wearing jaw-dropping, flesh-baring outfits.
Before arriving at Yeezy, Censori spent three years as a student architect at Australian-based firm DP Toscano Architects before moving to the United States.
According to Elle, in a November 2021 interview with Hypebeast that has since been taken down, the architect shared more about her journey.
“I was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia,” she said, via Elle. “As a child I was consistently drawn to creative endeavors, mostly artistic. I always wanted to be a sculptor and to me, architecture is the union of art and pragmatics. It is the grandest artistic gesture that we can place onto the earth. I was drawn to it, purely, as a shift in artistic scale.”
She continued, “As a child, I spent a lot of time with my aunt who would consistently expose me to an array of art, film, and architecture. She really drove my love for design and instilled in me an eye for aesthetics that I was able to nurture into adulthood.”
