While in Paris for Fashion Week, Kanye attended the shows for Vivienne Westwood, Valentino and Givenchy. Louis Vuitton showed yesterday, but 'Ye was left at the door. Last week, he was told to beat it at the Balmain and Alexander McQueen shows too. Looks like Paris Fashion Week is so crazy, even Yeezy couldn't get in.
"Mr. West requested to attend and we let him know we would not be able to accommodate him. He chose to come to the door anyway and we kindly let him know we could not accommodate him," said a rep for Balmain. "He did not make a request to attend, but he came uninvited," reported a McQueen rep. It's pretty evident that they have a strict "no list, no entry" policy over in Europe, even if you're the most talked about rapper in the world.

makes sense though. and i love Europe for being that way. Star power isn't everything there. I love that fashion bloggers even got in! I mean, if Oprah can be denied a Hermes bag for being late to pick it up...lol, what did Kanye expect? Big ups to Balmain and everyone else that held it down.

Sounds like Kanye just got another 'nigga wake up call'. You would think with all the free promotion he's given those brands they would have flown him there and let him rock the stage. Just goes to show no matter how much you think you are one of 'them', you aren't. Nor should you want to be.
