Kanye West Tries And Fails To Gatecrash At Paris Fashion Week

Fashion lover and sometime recording artist Kanye West didn’t have the easiest time getting into shows during Paris Fashion Week, mostly because he showed up to a few of them uninvited.

West tried to walk into high-profile shows he didn’t have a seat assignment for, including Alexander McQueen and Balmain. At those shows he tried to use his star power as his ticket in.

That might have worked at shows produced by most public relations firms, but the three in question here were all run by KCD, which boasts one of the world’s most impressive fashion client rosters. (During New York Fashion Week, they run the door at Marc Jacobs, Tommy Hilfiger and Anna Sui, just to name a few.) We like the people at KCD because they take what they do very seriously. And if you don’t have a ticket to one of their shows, you’re probably not going to get in. Even if you’re Kanye West.

Page Six reports that West eventually managed to get into the McQueen show by sweet talking the people who owned the building it was in — which he had to do because KCD turned him away at the door. He requested a seat at Balmain, but was told he couldn’t be accommodated because the guest list was limited. He showed up anyway and was summarily rebuffed.

At Vuitton, West wasn’t on the list and didn’t reach out for an invitation, so he wasn’t admitted. That’s gotta be hurtful for someone who’s designed things for Louis Vuitton in the past, but that’s the way shows work.

Should we feel sorry for West? Maybe not. He still breezed into Givenchy, Valentino and Vivienne Westwood without incident. But it’s worth noting that fashion shows are hard enough to produce without professional divas showing up and demanding a seat 15 minutes after the show was supposed to start.

Lesson learned? If you’re not on the list, just accept that you’re not on the list.

You know… Kanye West is an idiot! He knows that a person like him could go to the shows if only he had reached out and got the proper request for a ticket, but he wants to be a drama queen! God that so damn annoying!

I agree with Derrode. Sure, he says his a__hole days are over and that he’s “a nice guy now.” Stunts like this just say to me, in my opinion, that he’s still full of himself and puts his arse on a high-leveled pedestal. His ego makes him so … how does one word this? Ugly and unattractive.

Let me tell you something Derrode. Kanye is cool and he can do what he wants. He should have got into whatever shows he wanted to. When Kanye wants something, he should get it. I’m glad he punked that hick little girl Taylor Swift. Anyone with that much class deserves much better than Paris fashion week. Derrode you are a very ignorant and clueless. Nobody cares about you. We all care for Kanye.

You sound like an Immature waste of sperm. Kanye is not Jesus. Every show that he crashed into is worth more than him and you in that matter, & why am I wasting my time replying to you. With your comment, it just shows me that you are a nobody in the middle of nowhere with no style, who think because he on T.v and raps He deserves the world to be handed to him on a silver plater.
