Kanye West seems to be making more enemies than friends at New York Fashion Week.
The rapper is being called out by a fellow designer Anne Bowen for adding his runway presentation last minute to the already jammed packed NYFW schedule.
"We have been prepping for a year for this at considerable financial,
labor- and commitment-cost to our company," Bowen explained to Women's Wear Daily.
"Our show date
has been scheduled for months and has been on the
Fashion Calendar for weeks. We went through all the proper channels to
make this a reality. And just yesterday we learned that Kanye West is
having a show at the same time on the same date as ours."
Bowen's show was slated for noon on Sept. 16, but now she is being
forced to move her show if she wants her work to get any recognition.
"Kanye knows he is a media sensation and it is just not ethical to do
this," she said. "It's like we are David and he is Goliath. We have put
our heart and soul into our show, and should not be stepped on like
this."
"In order for our show to have any significance, we now have to move
our date and time which is a logistical nightmare," she continued.
"Three days out from our originally scheduled time."
Bowen isn't the only designer who is affected by the surprise
presentation. Famed designer to the stars Naeem Khan will have to
present at the same time as Yeezus.
West has not made a comment about the last minute schedule changes.
