Kanye West working on full fashion collection in Paris

According to Uk publication The Telegraph, the fashion-conscious rapper is getting ready to show his first full men’s and women’s ranges this fall.
Kanye West is currently working on the high-end creations, based out of a studio in central Paris, the paper quotes a source.
Just last year, he had told Elle: “Did you not see the Lindsay [Lohan] and Ungaro collection? That was 9/11 for celebrities doing fashion. After that I thought: ‘Well I can’t do a line now’.”

But the big-mouthed entertainer seems to have changed his mind, having already released a collection of luxury scarves with design collective M/M Paris last month.
Kanye West previously released sneakers with French luxe label Louis Vuitton and upped his fashion credentials with design internships including at US retailer Gap and Italian design house Fendi.
