Kanye West for Topshop?

Undeterred by the rubbish reviews he got for his debut womenswear collection, which looked like it had been stitched together by Leatherface, post-spliff, Kanye West not only has the balls to show again at Paris Fashion Week, but also wants to launch a ladies range for Topshop.

According to a snitch speaking to The Daily Mirror , the egomaniac rapper broke bread with megalomaniac Topshop honcho Sir Philip Green at Harrods this week. "Kanye has wanted to work with Sir Philip Green for some time. They were in the restaurant for several hours tossing ideas back and forth." With any luck, those tossed ideas don't include hooker bandage dresses. But, alas: "Kanye is obsessed with the female shape, so if he did a range it would be pretty revealing - not for wallflowers."

A spokesperson for the high-street chain declined to comment on the ! collabor ation. "As far as I'm aware, Sir Philip and Kanye just enjoyed lunch together."
Indeed, "Uncle Phil" himself had these rather touch words to say to the Mirror : "I had lunch with him and, sorry, do I have to report who I have lunch with []? He was hungry. So was I. That's what happens at lunchtime. There was no conversation going on. He's a friend of my son." Which, based on the catwalk evidence, is probably a good thing.
