£1,745, a T-shirt for £240, a hoodie for for £410 and a long parka for £1,210. See more photos after the cut
An advertising puff for his new Season 3 range states that
his gear is 'unpretentious' and that it is part of his 'aesthetic vision.'
It states: 'For the intensely-anticipated YEEZY Season 3
collection, provocative designer Kanye West expands his directional aesthetic
vision, blending military and industrial influences with unpretentious
sportswear silhouettes to advance an avant-garde and elevated interpretation of
contemporary streetwear.
'Innovative and experimental, the label's Fall/Winter 2016
offering sees signature utilitarian silhouettes crafted in cutting-edge
performance textiles and muted earth tones punctuated with boldly saturated
hues.
'Shearling flight jackets, packable nylon windbreakers,
waxed cotton down parkas, and long anoraks navigate the territory between
practicality and experimentation.

This holey black jumper will set you back £1,585 from the
designer's range, which blends military and industrial influences with
'unpretentious sportswear silhouettes', according to the brand
Oversized garment-dyed hoodies, sweatshirts, and T-shirts,
along with rugged camouflage-patterned thermal t-shirts evoke a lived-in ease.
'Shredded rib knit sweaters, textural slub jersey T-shirts,
and motocross-inspired lounge pants emphasize a grunge-inflected minimalism.'
Earlier this year, the rapper said he'd lost the cash
'pursuing his love of fashion'.
He tweeted: 'I write this to you my brothers while still 53
million dollars in personal debt... Please pray we overcome... This is my true
heart...'
'My dreams brought me into debt and I'm close to seeing the
light of day.
'For the past three years people who knew about the debt
tried to use it against me in negotiations.'
