A Day In the Life of Kanye West, Fashion Intern

When he first started talking about interning for Louis Vuitton or Raf Simons a couple weeks ago, we were a little skeptical of Kanye West’s dreams of being a fashion designer’s bitch.

People sure go out of their way 4 this guy. And we wonder why… Anyhoo, the coffee bit was a bit cliche. Srsly, is that all people think interns do?
CapoStatus December 15, 2008 at 11:50 pm
^^Yes Castle, that’s all interns do. Except in rare cases like yours,when your day-to-day tasks include giving brain to everyone on staff…and then getting everyone a Jamba Juice smoothie.
