Hip hop star ‘to chase fashion dream in London’

A leading hip hop star is planning to move to London in order to pursue his dream of being a fashion designer, it has been claimed.

Kanye West is thought to be considering the move as he hopes to enrol on a course at Louis Vuitton’s office in the capital, where he will learn about how he can put together his own clothing range.

According to the Daily Mirror, the rapper-turned-singer could be living on these shores from next spring.

Talking to the newspaper, an unnamed source said: "Everyone is surprised at just how seriously Kanye is taking his fashion dream.

"He absolutely loves London and wants to absorb the fashion over here."

Earlier this year, Women’s Wear Daily claimed that the hip hop star is working on a shoe collection with Louis Vuitton.

The rapper, who has turned to singing on new album 808s & Heartbreak, is believed to have revealed details about the collaboration at a menswear fashion show in Paris in July.
