Rapper, US presidential hopeful, voice of his generation (or so he says)... can Kanye West make it as a fashion designer too?

Kanye's showed off his Yeezy Season 2 collection at New York Fashion Week.

It's fair to say it's not gone down all too well with everyone on the internet.

There have been several other comments along the same lines as Kourtney's...

Of course, there was an A-list celebrity turnout at the event.

Kanye's wife Kim and daughter North West came, along with several of the Kardashian/Jenner clan.

Other stars there included Jaden Smith, Lorde and Drake.

Some people have (unflatteringly) compared Kanye's clothes to other well-known personalities and places.

Vogue magazine said: "The clothing played off of the same layered, deconstructed look West debuted at his fall 2015 show, with many looks including tights, body stockings, knits, and jackets.

"Everyone will be talking about the shoes. The Yeezy Duck boot was the footwear of choice on male and female models, though several women sported high-heeled boots. And the last guy out wore a pair of Adidas Yeezy Boosts."

GQ described the collection as "a series of drapey, dusty, military-inspired pieces that are unlike anything in the market today".

It added: "To Kanye West, this is his new passion. He's said in interviews that he cares more about this right now than music.

"The biggest question of all remains - will people actually buy these clothes?"
