Kanye West
Kanye West has revealed that he was not allowed into Balenciaga's Paris Fashion Week show because his hip hop image wan't right for the event.
The rapper was in Paris attending other shows but was not invited to the Balenciaga show despite describing the label as "one of the illest lines right now" on his blog.
However Kanye was not bothered by the snub and seemed to understand the reasons why. He said: "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."
He continued "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 never use my blog 2 clear stuff up... but this is so close 2 my heart I had 2 say something... Anyone saying something negative has it wrong, they've got me wrong... I just want 2 make great art on every level and fashion shows are one of the best forms of art in the world. Thank you Paris again for the inspiration!," he added.
