"When you mention Kanye West and a clothing line the same sentence, there are bound to be eye rolls...but the latest rumor that he&amp;#x27;s holed up at a Paris studio working on a fashion project to hit stores in spring 2012 kind of made me smile, because he&amp;#x27;s hardly a dilettante when it comes to the style scene. He&amp;#x27;s a front row fixture at the likes of Givenchy and Rodarte, isn&amp;#x27;t afraid to perform in designer womenswear (he&amp;#x27;s in C&amp;amp;eacute;line above), designed his own line of kicks for Louis Vuitton, name dropped Phoebe Philo in song (and will present her with her CFDA award on Monday night), and once held the bizarre distinction of only following runway models on Twitter. And now, according to the Telegraph UK, he&amp;#x27;s hoping to parlay that deep interest into a legitimate fashion venture. &amp;quot;A source close to the designer told The Telegraph that West has made Paris his home in a bid to launch his fashion career,&amp;quot; the paper reports. &amp;quot;The dedicated follower of fashion--who was a firm fixture in the front row at the autumn/winter 2011 catwalk shows--is said to be working on a high-end collection comprising looks for both men and women, from a studio in the centre of the French capital.&amp;quot; Of course, this is still simply a rumor--&amp;quot;While there is no fixed date in the pipeline for the first showing of Kanye&amp;#x27;s new range, it is thought that a presentation-style format is slated for September, for the 2012 spring/summer season,&amp;quot; they say--but I must admit, I&amp;#x27;m interested. If Al Roker can have a line of raincoats and Paula Abdul can &amp;quot;design&amp;quot; jewelry for HSN, then why shouldn&amp;#x27;t someone as genuinely invested in fashion as Kanye is have a chance to show us his stuff? This is one celebrity clothing line I may actually be able to get behind! What do you say, ladies? Are you curious to see what Kanye West would design? Do you hope there&amp;#x27;s some truth to this rumor, like I do? Discuss!
