Kanye West’s Fame vs. Fashion Week

March 10th, 2011 // Leave a Comment

Self-proclaimed fashion-mista Kanye West is always looking tip top and makes no secret that he thinks he is the tip top as well. While invited to attend multiple shows at Paris Fashion Week including Valentino and Givenchy, Kanye assumed he was above invitation for the other shows on his wish list. After requesting to be present at the Balmain show and receiving news that there was no room for accommodation he still pressed the issue by attempting entry at the show’s door. He was refused again in person, albeit politely according to a KCD (the show producer) representative.

Next was the Alexander McQueen show, unfortunately run by KCD again and he hit the same wall. This time he was supposedly allowed entry through a side door by venue management and not the proper show authorities. Others wonder if the buck stopped here or if the rejection carried through to the Louis Vuitton show. His lack of appearance after collaborating on a shoe line with LV designer Marc Jacobs brings the question, was Kanya snubbed again or did he throw in the towel after the first two disasters? I would assume the latter, he is prideful but I wouldn’t say shameless. He has an excellent sense of fashion and hopefully he can swallow this pill and continue experimenting with top level clothing in the future.
