Kanye Continues His Fashion History, Talks Meeting Legendary Designer Azzedine Alaia
“Early 2011 … I moved to Paris and opened a small design studio… the language barrier was quite difficult… I still don’t have a Paris VAT number to this day… I don’t know what a VAT but every time I asked why we didn’t have fabrics they said… … it was because of the VAT. In Paris I met many great people in design including the master Azzedine Alaia… Azzedine even came by my studio one day : ))). This was the greatest feeling to stand in his presence in my embarrassingly small Paris studio in a courtyard opposite Collate.”
