Kanye West on the GQ cover

Last week Kanye West's latest GQ cover was officially revealed, where the fashion icon graces the August 2014 issue of the storied publication. This marks the second time West has covered the magazine, the first being December 2007.The cover and accompanying editorial were shot by Patrick Demarchelier and styled by GQ creative director Jim Moore. The resulting outfits were a collaboration between two of menswear's most prominent figures, not just West himself as erroneously reported.

"It's not about having a lot of clothes," West tells the magazine. "It's about a few favorites." Throughout the editorial, he switches up classic 6-inch wheat Timberland boots with crisp adidas sneakers like the Stan Smith and the Pure Boost, one of the best sneakers we've seen this year. Other notable pieces include the Airport Sweater and white Kanye Jeans from his latest A.P.C. collaboration, leather pants from En Noir, and the Wes Lang-customized leather jacket first seen at his nuptials with Kim Kardashian.

From glamourous gap-year inspired dressing to dresses with fringe benefits, see the trend on the catwalk

FRINGE BENEFITS: Tassels and trims swish from head to toe this season. Dangling from hats and bodices, and swinging from skirts and coats, fringing adds fluid movement to the strictest tailored cuts.

GLOBAL TRAVELLER: Gap-year dressing gets a glamorous makeover, as scarf tops, pyjama suits and sarongs take a turn on the spring/summer catwalks. Rugged bags and simple handworked accessories complete the haute-hippy look.

IN THE CITY: At the sleeker end of the trend, subtlely exotic designs give an elegant nod to their ethnic origins. Elaborate pleats and folds, native prints and a palette of dusty desert tones bring the call of the wild to city style.
