Kanye West’s collection for French ready-to-wear line A.P.C. sold out online, crashing the website for the brand.
The nine-piece collection was kept incredibly under wraps up until its debut on A.P.C.’s website Sunday at 10 a.m. Paris time. High demand sold out the collection and proceeded to crash the website, which is now taking pre-orders for more apparel until Wednesday afternoon.
People reports that A.P.C. designer Jean Touitou said that the collection took two years to complete.
“Over the months, we kept hanging out and finally came up with the idea of doing a small capsule collection of clothes together,” Touitou said of his collaboration with West. The capsule collection in question is indeed small, consisting only of two pairs of jeans, a few hoodies, and a narrow spectrum of t-shirts.
“Those are precious to me and to Kanye too, because it took time and thoughts to get there,” Touitou says of the items, which start at $120 for a plain black or white t-shirt, and range to $280 for a long-sleeve hooded sweatshirt.
The new dad with reality-television star Kim Kardashian has collaborated with four major fashion houses in the past, according to E! News . West has previously designed collections for Nike, Louis Vuitton, Bape and Giuseppe Zanotti. Girlfriend Kardashian has proudly worn her baby daddy’s designs, showing off a pair of white sandals on her Instagram account earlier this summer.
