According to Pitchfork, West, who worked at Gap as a teenager, signed a 10-year deal with the fashion brand, and he will act as creative director for the project, which will include "modern, elevated basics for men, women and kids at accessible price points".
The exact terms of the 10-year deal haven't been released yet, but The New York Times notes that Gap hopes the clothing line will generate $1billion in sales over the next five years.
ye partnered with Adidas back in 2013, and his limited edition Yeezy shoes sell out constantly, with some people selling the shoes at much higher price points online.
