After his last Paris catwalk-presentation in March 2012 we have not seen much from Kanye West on the fashion front, except for him wearing these Martin Margiela beaded crystal masks for his concerts. It is true; his runway collections were not received well by the fashion critics. But now West has returned to fashion through a collaboration with French fashion brand A.P.C. He has designed a Hip Hop ‘Kardasian’ sized t-shirt, Hoodie and Jeans – priced in the same order for $120, $250 and $265. The collection proved to be such a success the online store of A.P.C. crashed after a couple of hours and shoppers were lining up from 7 AM in the morning in front of the stores. The collection by now is completely sold out – with items being sold on Ebay for over $600.

Kanye West is back in fashion.
