Former The Only Way Is Essex star Jake Hall has teased he is set to collaborate with Kanye West on a fashion project.
The 34-year-old TV star was a cast member on ITV's long-running reality show from 2015 until 2016, featuring in an impressive 46 episodes of the drama-filled series. But since ditching the reality spotlight, Jake has set up a number of fashion companies and rubbed shoulders with the fashion elite.
From attending fashion week shows like Dolce and Gabbana to giving interviews with fashion industry bible Drapers, the Essex lad has seen boom and bust while chasing his business dreams. Fashion label Prévu Studio won praise from fashionistas when he launched the company last decade - and he included chart superstar Stormzy among his fans.
But the company went bust after being bought out by JD Sport - but Jake learned from his experiences to launch his latest label, By Jake Hall. Now it seems Jake could be collaborating with Kanye and his wife Bianca Censori as he chatted to the pair at a Grammys party over the weekend.
On Tuesday, Jake took to Instagram to share footage of himself laughing and chatting to Kanye and Bianca - who hours earlier provoked global outrage when they orchestrated a nudity stunt on the award show red carpet. Jake uploaded the footage alongside a caption stating: "Grammys after party was one to remember for sure - conversation to remember for life - big things to come."
Fuelling speculation that Jake and Kanye could be collaborating on a collection, Jake's brand commented: "something’s coming" alongside a string of sparkle emojis. Kanye has won some applause for fashion projects of his own - with his Yeezy brand selling expensive clothes and accessories.
He has also worked with major brands including GAP, Nike, and Louis Vuitton. On Sunday, however, a fashion choice had people talking for all the wrong reasons when the rap star and his wife landed on the Grammys red carpet.
Kanye arrived dressed all in black while Bianca stood beside him wearing a huge fluffy coat. Kanye then appeared to order his wife to remove her coat - revealing that she was wearing a completely see-through minidress underneath. The Australian model was completely exposed as she was wearing no underwear, and the stunt has provoked universal condemnation.
Worrying theories have surfaced over what Kanye said to his wife while she nervously posed while effectively nude. And he is said to have lost a multi-million dollar contract to perform in Japan due to the backlash over his award show stunt.
Human rights groups have slammed the rapper for showcasing coercive behaviour and concerns have been raised over Bianca's involvement in the provocative scenes. Lip readers have claimed that Kanye could be see ordering Bianca to "cause a scene" while she removed her coat - and a body language expert has also concluded that his wife was nervous during the stunt.
Reports followed that the couple were thrown out of the awards show - however Kanye has hit out at this, declaring it false. The pair were seen partying through the night - and Bianca had found a minuscule leotard to wear by the time she had reached the party that Jake attended.
