Kanye West doesn't do things by halves; the debut of his Adidas collaboration launched with a blockbuster New York Fashion Week show last month.

His lookbook, released last week gives a closer look at his new designs and unsurprisingly is not exactly your run-of-the-mill lookbook.

Shot by Jackie Nickerson best known for her portrait photography, the lookbook shows close-ups of pieces from the collection interspersed with models posing in various stages of undress (warning some of the images below are NSFW).

The 46 page lookbook depicts clothing from the collection on a diverse range of models of differing ethnicities and sizes.

West himself even features in the lookbook in a close-up image of the rapper's face wearing a jacket from the collection.

But never one to shy away from controversy, the lookbook includes a rather risque range of shots - many of nude models and some in rather strange poses.

The new range of clothing has attracted some criticism for its high price points with some of the outerwear coming it at around £3000. While sweatshirts and hoodies will begin at the £280 mark.
