KANYE WEST VENTURES INTO JEWELRY WITH PRICEY NEW COLLECTION

Kanye West has been dabbing in fashion as early as 2009, when he collaborated with Nike to launch his own shoe, the Air Yeezys. He also debuted his women’s fashion label, DW Kanye West, at the Paris Fashion Week in 2011. And now, come the jewels: according to several news sources, West has recently launched a 12-piece collection under his Yeezy brand.

 

The collection, officially launched in early April, includes gold rings and heavy chain pendants, and has been “test-driven” heavily by West’s wife, Kim Kardashian West, for months before the official release. The collection was designed in collaboration with Jacob the Jeweler’s Jacob Arabo.

 

The collection, available for sale at yeezysupply.com, is inspired by 14th-century Florentine art and all the pieces are in a yellow-gold color and feature 18 karats of gold. The prices cater to specific clientele, as they begin at $1,530 and run up to $13,360.

 

Born in 1977, Kanye West is an American recording artist, songwriter, producer, fashion and jewelry designer. West began his illustrious career as a producer for Roc-A-Fella Records in the early 2000s, producing for artists such as Jay Z and Alicia Keys. He released his debut album, “The College Dropout” in 2004 and immediately gained critical acclaim and commercial success.

 

Up to 2016, West has released seven studio albums, and is one of the best-selling artists of all time. As mentioned above, he also designed clothes, footwear and accessories, collaborating with Nike, Louis Vuitton, A.P.C. and Adidas.
