 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.' 

 Kanye, who is married to Kim Kardashian (pictured above together at the 2016 MTV VMAs) earlier this year claimed he was $53m in debt - around £41m

 The trousers above cost £358 and are one item from the range, which also includes oversized garment-dyed hoodies, sweatshirts, and T-shirts
