Kanye West’s Last-Minute New York Fashion Week Show Sparks A Scheduling
“We have been prepping for a year for this at considerable financial, labor- and commitment-cost to our company”, Bowen said.
A spokesperson for Bowen also told WWD that although they were able to move Bowen’s show to a later date, they have been going through difficulties.
“As for Kanye and all the other people out there, I just want to say I hope you like what we do and good luck”.
She is about to reveal her Nomad VII by Anne Bowen collection at the same moment that the husband of Kim Kardashian wants to show his.
Bowen isn’t the only designer getting knocked out of their time slot.
Not everyone is happy about Kanye’s last-minute plans, including those designers who have had to reschedule their shows as a result.
In February of this year, when Kanye West premiered the first season of his fashion line with Addidas, he streamed that unveiling at the Northpark Mall.
Time magazine said this is the second time West will be presenting his Adidas originals, also known as Yeezy Season 2. “We’re scrambling like insane and it’s costing us a lot of money”. We sent out printed invites by hand, and they’re useless.
As to whether or not she would welcome West to her show on Thursday, being presented at TAO Downtown, she said it’s a no-brainer. He reportedly only came to know about the show when he read news about it in the New York Post. “But now that we have moved our date, we are excited to share this unique and special collection with everyone on September 17”.
But Kanye’s not just trying to monopolize eyeballs at NYFW.
“There was no listing on the Fashion Calendar, and we didn’t know about it. We can’t avoid conflicts unless we know someone’s doing it.”
The show is being held at Skylight Modern at 537 West 27th Street. Not only was the front row made up of A-listers including Beyoncé and Jay Z, his wife Kim Kardashian modelled some of the collection and his sister-in-law Kylie Jenner was among the models that walked the runway.
