Ye seems to be taking this fashion thing almost as serious as his music…
.
Yeezy hits the pages of the  March issue of Vogue Magazine, which profiles fashion design and creative director of Givenchy–Riccardo Tisci. In the article they highlight his relationships with the various people, one of them being Kanye West.

.“I was a little bit scared, ” admits Tisci, “Because I’m not an artist or graphic artist.” He finally agreed and was awed when a meeting sequed into a jam session that involved Rihanna, Swizz Beatz and Pharrell Williams, all freely exchanging ideas “like a family giving opinions to each other,” remembers Tisci, “sharing – which is something that fashion is missing,” he adds plaintively.

.
Check out what he had to say about working with Kanye & Jay-Z on “Watch The Throne” and peep the photos from the shoot below.

“Tisci’s passion for music has taken him around the world. His strong connection to the worlds of rap and R&B led his friends Kanye West and Jay-Z to enlist his services as art director for their collaborative album, Watch The Throne.
.
His artwork for the single “H.A.M.” and the album (which reached number one on iTunes in 24 countries) draw Tisci’s childhood passion for mythology and religious iconography and his current engagement with psychedelic prints and graphics”
