Los Angeles, CA – Kanye West’s grand vision for a fashion show featuring the underprivileged in Los Angeles has caught the attention of plenty in the area – except his own team.
According to the New York Post, reps for Ye informed the outlet there aren’t any plans to hold a fashion show in Los Angeles with those who live on Skid Row, a notorious stretch of L.A. known for its homeless population.
“Ye has a deep and solution-oriented commitment to addressing issues surrounding homelessness,” a Yeezy GAP spokesperson told The Post. “But this reported event is not on our schedule at this time nor are we aware of any product collaboration in development.”
The Skid Row Fashion Week idea initially emerged via TMZ on Thursday (January 27). After previously touting plans to help Los Angeles’ homeless crisis, the music mogul reportedly met with Skid Row Fashion Week founder David Sabastian during a recording session for his upcoming Donda 2 album.
