Hate All You Want, But Kanye’s $200 T-shirts Are A Big Hit In The U.K. Ms. Bels Thursday, July 18, 2013 Trendsetters, What's Hot, What's Not When it was announced that Kanye West would team up with the French fashion brand, A.P.C., no one ever thought that he’d sell t-shirts. After having other fail attempts at becoming a world renowned fashion designer, Kanye may have found his niche in casual men’s clothing. A.P.C. designer Jean Touitou and West came together, over a span of two years, to design a special collection for the A.P.C. brand. West’s collection consists of jeans, hoodies, and t-shirts. When it comes to design aesthetics and creativity, you would think the collection would be a bit unique. However, the clothing is just the opposite. The new collection is very casual and represents West’s latest indulgence in minimalism. Despite the uproar received on social media sites regarding the pricing of the clothes, Touitou says that West’s collection is flying off the shelves in Paris. The day the items went on sale online, ALL of it sold out and the A.P.S. website crashed. The collection was restocked this weekend, but immediately sold out again. There are only less popular sizes still available like 24/25 jeans and a XXL in t-shirts. Luckily, the website will be taking pre-orders for a limited time for silkscreened tees with skeletons on it for about $137 in U.S. dollars, or gray hoodies for about $222.
