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

Kanye has previously designed trainers with Adidas, such as this Yeezy Boost 350

Vogue magazine said, external: "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, external 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?"
