Jay-Z has acquiured menswear label Artful Dodger in his latest assault on the fashion industry.

The rapper and founder of the Rocawear label paid £7.5 million for Artful Dodger and plans to expand the label's range to include womenswear.

Jay-Z will work with trendy menswear designer Scot Langton on increasing the profile of the brand.

The hip-hop mogul sold his successful Rocawear brand to Iconix Brand Group for a staggering £105 million last March, but still retains management rights.
