Kanye leaves editors waiting in the cold during Fashion Week fiasco
After miffing the music industry at the Grammys, Kanye West brought his bizarre behavior to New York Fashion Week — where he made top editors wait in the cold to debut his collaboration with Adidas.
Spies said fashion fixtures, including Vogue’s Anna Wintour and W’s Stefano Tonchi, had to wait 45 minutes for his show to start.
A rant by West began playing, including him saying: “There’s a series of, you know, people who like writing negative comments. They want to joke around and say, ‘Why is he still trying?’ . . . I’m here to crack the pavement and make new grounds, you know, sonically and society, culturally.”
“First he kept all the editors waiting in a loading dock to get in, freezing,” said one attendee, adding that when they entered the event, “It was pitch black” and some people were “fighting over seats.”
Stars attending included Beyoncé, Jay Z, Justin Bieber, Rihanna and West’s wife, Kim Kardashian, who brought cute baby North.
A source said that with the show running late, North started to get antsy and began wailing next to Wintour, who kept on her signature sunglasses and folded her arms. But “What was she supposed to do, rock the baby?” said a guest. Kim finally brought North backstage and was followed by her mom, Kris Jenner.
One spy said of the starry front row at the show, also attended by Drake, “That was the Grammys right there.”
