A.P.C. KANYE CAPSULE COLLECTION
Kanye with A.P.C. Founder Jean Touitou
This past weekend while we were getting rowdy at Palihouse for our Hydration Issue release, we were also feeling the buzz of another release: a Kayne West-designed collection for Parisian minimalist brand, A.P.C. After a picture of the inseam tag was leaked on G.O.O.D. Music affiliate and architect Travi$ Scott’s Instagram, the buzz was almost as bad as that surrounding the birth of Kimye’s lovechild. As a fan of both A.P.C. and Kanye, we said, “enough with the tag, where are the damn clothes?”
Luckily, the collaborative effort’s results are a collection of minimalistic design that fashionistos and Kanye West fans alike can certainly get behind. So much so that the rapper-producer’s collection apparently sold out the instant it went live on A.P.C.’s website. Don’t fret, pre-orders can be made for the next available wave of minimal digs, so you can carefully consider whether you wish to rock the plain white “Hip Hop T-Shirt” ($120) or the Kanye Hooded Sweatshirt ($280). (We’d go with the latter.)
