Kanye West moving to London

Kayne West is moving to the UK — so people take him seriously as a fashion designer. The rapper — who has spent lengthy stints in Britain over the past year — has decided to base himself permanently in London.

Kanye, 34, held a party for his DW clothing label in the capital last week before flying back to the US for Christmas.

“He went home for the holidays but was proclaiming that he is now based in the capital and would return in early January,” a source told British newspaper The Sun.

“He’s close to the lecturers and students at the Central Saint Martins College and being in London means he can stop by for advice any time.

“He’ll be over here preparing his Paris Fashion Week show, due in March. He’s also been looking for a studio.

“While at the party Kanye was giving models his email address and cheekily asking them to send him photos.”
