We all know that Kanye West loves fashion. The stylish rapper has already collaborated with Nike and LV to create his own line of sneakers. And of course, his self-anointed nickname IS "The Louis Vuitton Don". So now rumors are swirling around that he will be turning his summer long Gap internship into an actual line at Gap. He's been working with Patrick Robinson (the creative director of Gap) at the Manhattan headquarters for a month now, hopefully learning the ins and outs of a global fashion company. I honestly doubt he's been delegated the typical intern duties such as: fetching coffee, photocopying, creating excel sheets, etc....we all know the deal, just look at Sean Avery's internship at Vogue.
I understand that Kanye West and Patrick Robinson are good friends and The Gap is probably offering Kanye a large sum of money BUT am I the only one sees this pairing as strange? Kanye is known for his flamboyant colorful outfits....while the financially troubled clothing company is mainly known for their staples (ie. white tee shirts, khaki pants, and simple bags). If Kanye wants a worldwide clothing brand to pair up with, I think the better choice would have been Uniqlo (also known for their staples but still considered innovative)....the hipsters would have gone gag over that line.
