Ralph certainly made the Yeezy maestro forget about his brass-covered book heroes - but then Kanye has previously managed to turn the designer's name into a byword for supremity when he said of a clothing line “It ain’t Ralph, though” in a 2013 radio interview. His comment sparked "It ain't Ralph though" memes galore and Kanye even laid it down on a track.

The designer responded in kind: “That’s very cool. Well, that’s great. If I were to cater to Kanye, he would know that I’m catering to him. The fact that I make what I make—he gets it. He gets the quality and he respects it. And I think that’s the key, why I work all the time is to do that. That’s the fun.”

Just last week Kanye gushed - as much as Kanye gushes - about the 75-year-old in an interview with Style.com. "Ralph is the god," he said. "And that’s all I want to say about Ralph."
