Kanye West Clarifies Fashion Show Comment
Kanye West has clarified a comment he made about not gaining entrance to a Paris fashion show for designer Nicholas Ghesquirere’s ‘Balenciaga’ range , saying that anyone saying something negative has it wrong . The Grammy Award- winning rapper was quoted by the New York Times as saying, We didn’t get a ticket for Balenciaga. I understand it. I get a lot of attention and, you know, sometimes the designers don’t want anything taking the focus off the show.
West has posted a message on his official website to clear up the mis-represented comments in a posting called The Rest Of The Quote Is… : I just love the clothes! Lex and I are not there 2 take pictures… I don’t have an album about 2 drop… my tour is sold out… I love fashion and this is one of the funnest things we can make time for! I totally love and respect any designer that won’t let me come 2 there show… it’s their show… they don’t owe me anything…
Balenciaga is one of the illest lines right now and I don’t feel any type of way about not getting in! There’s always a catch 22 in being a celeb … your motives are always questioned… but only time will show my true love MY FIRST LOVE is for fashion and I appreciate just being in a position 2 afford 2 be able 2 spend a week in Paris visiting shows.
I wish everyone could have this experience, the new music you hear, the new people you meet and most of all the beautiful clothes! I understand that some designers don’t want all that unnecessary commotion at there shows, that’s what I mean by I get a lot of attention … I feel like music and fashion don’t bridge enough… at least not as much as it did in the 80’s when Madonna and Michael actually influenced designers… there was a give and take. I never use my blog 2 clear stuff up…
