If you were paying attention to Kanye West's first dive into the fashion world, you probably saw how much of a flop it was. The rapper debuted his line in 2012 in Paris, but his designs weren't well received. His designer dreams have been put on hold. Until now.
A couple of weeks ago, he announced that he would be doing a collaboration with a French designer, and finally, it's here. This time, he didn't try to compete with the likes of Dolce and Gabbana, but rather stuck to his own style and worked with French label APC to create "Kanye", a stylish, casual line of seven pieces.
It's been a much bigger success than his past foray into fashion, as all of the clothes have been sold out, and now are even being resold on eBay for many times the price. One piece, a short sleeved hoodie, is going for $600. I guess you win this time, Kanye.
This fashion success comes at a great time for him. With a new baby, a best selling album, and more media exposure than you could shake a stick at, we think things are going pretty well for Kanye. After this, maybe he's found his niche in fashion. We hope so.
With Style,
