Kanye West offered up his debut fashion line during Paris Fashion Week earlier today and the result was as cool, cutting edge and luxe as one would expect from the inimitable hip-hop visionary.
Named Dw, after his mother Donda West who passed away in 2007, the line offered up a collection of neutrally shaded tough girl chic ensembles, heavy on layering and texture.
