Kanye West - all things to all men?


Kanye West, rapper, style icon, actor, designer - not someone known for his inferiority complex. However, apparently the fashion industry has the power to make the poor guy feel chilly. In an interview with GQ.com, entitled, "100 things that Kanye taught GQ" he revealed his hurt that the Paris fashion set showed his new film the cold shoulder when it was screened during fashion week. He then said that after doing only one collection with Louis Vuitton, it was "heartbreaking" to hear "you're finished." Cue mental image of snotty, fur clad french fashion house creative director saying this with a very strong accent, as Kanye's couture dreams come crashing down around him.

The rapper/style icon/actor/designer then went on to blame the luckless Lindsay Lohan for the failure of his own fashion endeavours, saying "Not to down Lindsay Lohan as a person, but her collection for Ungaro was what 9/11 did for America and Arabia. It killed celebrities in fashion and completely destroyed my chances of putting out a label."
