Fashion Week Creator Fern Mallis Is ''Not a Fan'' of Kanye West: I'm Kinda Over Him
It seems like when it comes to Kanye West, not many people are lukewarm about the outspoken star. You either love him, or you don't. And apparently, Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week creator Fern Mallis is part of the "don't" group.
Both Mallis and Yeezy attended Jeremy Scott's New York Fashion Week show at Milk Studios on Wednesday, where the rapper-turned-designer was reportedly "swarmed" by fans and hauled by a bodyguard to the runway show.
Meanwhile, Mallis was asked what she thought of Kim Kardashian's hubby, and she didn't hold back one bit.
"I'm kind of over Kanye," the 66-year-old former CFDA executive director told the New York Post, and went on to explain why (and it had nothing to do with his buzzed-about Yeezy Season show at NYFW and more to do with just...him).
"I mean, I'm not a fan of his music, and the attitude and the agenda is not my style," she added.
An eyewitness at the Scott show tells Us Weekly that West was in a maroon velour hoodie and arrived 15 minutes late. He was immediately flanked by photographers and while he posed for cameras, the rapper refused to smile. His demeanor changed, however, during the runway show, when the observer tells Us he flashed a big grin at the designs.
Mallis' grievances about West were made clear as the rapper and his family continue to dominate headlines, beginning with an incident several weeks ago at the 2015 Grammys involving Beck. West rushed the stage in what was believed to be a joke during the awards show, but later claimed that Beyonce deserved the Album of the Year award.
Several days later, the rapper showcased his new collaboration with Adidas, which was upstaged by a tantrum thrown by his 20-month-old daughter North West. In a bizarre interview with i-D, West creatively explained Nori's front row meltdown on Kim's lap moments before her dad's show started.
"Maybe she was just scared for her daddy," West, 37, remarked. "She just wanted people to stop being mean to her daddy. Because she knows that her daddy loves the world and just wants to make it a more beautiful place."
In another interview with Style.com published this week, West shared that the fashion community turned its back on him and Kardashian when they first got together.
"She was always my muse, now she’s become other designers’ muses," the rapper said of his wife. "Soon as we started dating, fashion people were really opposed to the idea of reality stars. And all the relationships, the somewhat friends that I had somewhat built up, completely turned their backs on her and me. They already had their back to her, and now they turned it to me."
