As the rain poured, Kanye West shielded himself with a massive black jacket outside his office in Calabasas, California on Thursday.

The rapper opted to wear a pair of blue rubber gloves but no mask.

Despite the light drizzle, he took no risks with the weather in his $1,274 rain jacket from Martine Rose, which has multiple pockets and adjustable straps at the hood.
The overcoat hid his body with its oversized shape, high-neck and two front pockets.
This is the second time Kim Kardashian’s husband has been at Yeezy Studio in the past three days, after sporting a pair of electric yellow boots from his new collection.

On Tuesday, the father-of-four was seen wearing an eccentric pair of shoes featuring chunky lug soles, which were first shown on the runway during Kanye’s Yeezy presentation during Paris Fashion Week last month.
Just last month, Kanye debuted his latest Yeezy designs – including the bright boots – at the brand’s A/W 20/21 Paris Fashion Week show after a three-year hiatus from fashion runways.

He was joined by his family including wife, daughter North, sister-in-law Kourtney Kardashian and niece Penelope Disick.
He has high hopes for the brand as told Wall Street Journal in the pages of his April cover issue: ‘I believe that Yeezy is the McDonald’s and the Apple of apparel.
‘In order to make the Apple of apparel the next Gap, it has to be a new invention. To invent something that’s so good that you don’t even get credit for it because it’s the norm.’
West worked at the Gap as a teen.

West said he is eager to hire released prisoners for work in apparel manufacturing and has had discussions about building factories in the US.
The artist believes that his success in music should not limit him to other fields including fashion and evangelicalism.
He said: ‘I got to live out every version of ego — rapper, I had my own [version of] Jordans, I’m married to Kim Kardashian West.’
