Hip-hop’s fashionista Kanye West was obviously absent from this year’s Fashion Week in NYC. Normally a staple of the event, known for sitting in front row of major fashion events, Weezy was no where to be found, and neither were some major designers including his friend, Marc Jacobs. Rumor has it that West will skill Fashion Week in NYC completely to launch his womenswear collection next during during the fashion shows in Paris. Rumor also has it that Givenchy creative director Riccardo Tisci, artwork designer for Watch the Throne, as a mentor.
