Kanye West Falls Into the Gap

And so yet another talent of Kanye West's has been revealed.

Us Weekly reports that the 808s & Heartbreak rapper has taken up an internship at the Gap offices in an effort to expand his résumé into the fashion world.

"He works all the time, and one Friday night recently, he stayed until 12 a.m. He's learning the fashion business from the inside and trying to do it quietly," says a source.

Meanwhile, the company confirmed to StyleList, "Kanye's been spending time working in Gap's offices, working with [the Gap's Executive Vice President of Design] Patrick Robinson, as he's interested in gaining more firsthand experience of the fashion industry."

Will they teach Kanye the secret to properly folding khakis for display? Time will tell!

I think out of all the "celebs" that are making "clothing ranges" Kanye's seems to be the most realistic, as he did go to an art university before dropping out and originally wanted to be a graphic designer which generally fits into fashion and art. He also has a good sense of style and art so I'm sure he'll be quite successful, and more believable in actually taking some creative control on his PASTELLE line.
