He’s often spotted in the Front Row at Fashion Week and now he wants to put his knowledge to theory.

The Grammy winning rapper wants a Masters degree in fashion!

No stranger to controversy, Kanye has reportedly applied for a Masters degree in fashion, at the prestigious Central Saint Martins College in London.

One thing Kanye can’t bank on, is his fame. He was interviewed by the school’s board, who will now decide if he’s made the cut.

Previous students include Alexander McQueen and Stella McCartney.

As much as he’s known for his artistic ability, he does know a thing or three about fashion. In 2009, Kanye collaborated with Louis Vuitton – they released a sneaker collection.

I for one, would line up to buy clothing from the Kanye West label (well, that’s if I could afford it).
