“He didn’t think it was good for his reputation,” the New York Daily News and Confidenti reported. “He didn’t want to hurt her feelings.”
The rapper turned fashion designer chose not to show his fashion collection this season, after his two previous Paris shows were bashed by critics. But he RSVP’d without a plus one to numerous shows, weeks before telling Kim Kardashian he was even going.
Despite his extreme aversion to criticism, Yeezy is expected to be back in Paris in March to show his own fashion line, sources said. For now, though, he is mixing it up with some of Europe’s most famous designers, including Peter Dundas of Pucci, Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy, and Karl Lagerfeld of Chanel. And Kanye may adore Kim, but sources close to the rapper say “he’s uncomfortable bringing her” and “wants to be taken seriously.”
