Kanye recently revealed that his new fashion line is heavily influenced by the riots in London. He told Style.com that he had seen first hand the looting that happened in the city and that encouraged him to design and make fashionable clothes that many would be able to afford.
His collection, in which sister-in-law Kylie Jenner modeled for, was revealed during New York Fashion Week. It received mixed reactions from critics, but Kanye told the magazine that he does not read their reviews.
When he was asked about his prices, the rapper replied that the clothes are not as cheap as he would like them to be, but shared that they are still currently working on the prices. His aim is to make the clothes super-inexpensive, so everyone and not only a few will be able to wear them.
He continued to reveal that he hates the concept of "limited edition" because he believes that we're all equal. He further added, "Let's stop playing games with each other and let's start helping each other."
Aside from on the UK riots, he revealed that he was also influenced by his famous wife Kim Kardashian-West and their adorable daughter, North.
As to why he likes to choose and put together Kim's clothes, he explained that doing so have helped them improve and learn together. He shared that as soon and he and Kim started dating, "fashion people were really opposed to the idea of reality stars," and revealed that some of their friends even turned their backs on them.
He said that he and Kim were able to learn more about fashion when they started retailoring various pieces of clothes. They re-tailored a Céline skirt, a Saint Laurent jacket, a Zara top, etc., which eventually helped them become better.
The reveal of his new collection was attended by various celebrities including Beyoncé, Jay Z, Rihanna and Vogue editor, Anna Wintour.
