FROM RAP SINGER TO RUNWAY STAR: KANYE WEST SET TO LAUNCH FASHION COLLECTION FOR WOMEN
Kanye West made headlines at Coachella when he wore a women’s shirt by French label Celine. But it looks as though he has women’s wear on the mind as he is rumored to be debuting a collection at New York Fashion Week this year. And it appears the singer, who has design studios in New York and London, isn’t leaving anything to chance.
He has enlisted the help of British knitwear designer Louise Goldin and St Martins professor Louise Wilson to give him lessons.
The Gold Digger singer is often pictured front row at Fashion Week and has already designed a range of scarves featuring his album artwork. The range included the cover of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, which he eventually had to withdraw after it was deemed too graphic. He was also a fashion columnist for online magazine Complex.
If his music videos are anything to go by however, Kanye’s collection is sure to be controversial.
The 33-year-old attracted criticism last month after featuring models hanging with nooses around their necks and a couple feasting on a human corpse for new single Monster.
