- After discontinuing his now-defunct Pastelle clothing line in 2009, American rapper Kanye West is really launching his women's fashion line this fall.,with the help from master-designer Louise Goldin, and advice from Central Saint Martins' professor Louis Wilson,."I have known Kanye for about two years," Louise Wilson, course director of the MA Fashion at CSM told Vogue UK. "He is very knowledgeable about fashion and interested -- he is also interesting, he has an individual point of view. He has visited the college twice -- most recently about employing interns to work on a variety of projects."
Wilson continued to explain that Kanye's collaboration with Goldin, a former student of hers, could be quite successful, due in part to his work ethic and commitment to fashion.
"I think we can expect a well-considered collection, you wouldn't expect less from a pair of professionals and I warn against dismissing it in haste," Wilson said. "There are those who might assume Louise will be doing all the work and Kanye is just the face, I don't believe this will be the case -- he researches thoroughly and is hands on and committed to his work."
The ready-to-wear label is expected to be a luxury line, predominantly focused on womenswear, and will likely be launching at the upcoming New York fashion week.
IMO Kanye is just the face and affixing his name to a label of another person's creation…Well!i’m really curious to see what comes out of the union.
