Kanye West and A.P.C. have confirmed that they joined forces to collaborate on a menswear line, although it’s been rumored for a while now.

A design collaboration has been rumored since A.P.C. founder Jean Touitou told GQ in February of last year that a collaboration with West was "mentally in the pipeline" and they "wanted to do something related to clothes that's not high fashion, probably something more sporty.”
MTV notes West was seen in Paris outside of the A.P.C. offices in January of this year. He told W Magazine shortly after he wanted to create a “sensible” clothing line and "that might be accomplished by his new men’s capsule collection of jeans, T-shirts, and hoodies for a hip French brand, to be unveiled in July."
The brand posted an Instagram picture of sneak peak.
West has just welcomed his first child with girlfriend Kim Kardashian; North West. He has also just dropped a new album, Yeezus.
