• Kanye West Wants To Intern At Louis Vutton

    Thursday Dec 4 2:26 PM CST posted by xxl staff

    The college dropout wants an internship. Kanye West, the self-proclaimed “voice of this generation,” is humbly seeking an internship in the fashion industry.

    With his own clothing line, Past Tell, still waiting to come out, almost three years after it was originally supposed to hit stores, Ye hopes to learn more about the design process. He prefers, however, the high-end houses of Louis Vuitton or Raf Simons, according to the New York Times, who spoke with Simons. Simons told the Times that he was “blown away from the planet,” when Ye told him about his interning aspiration.

    “I know he’s very serious about this,” Simons said. “I don’t take it as a joke – but how can I imagine him being my intern? It’s a very extreme situation.”

    Last week, Ye blogged about wanting to be “the real thing,” and vowed not to be another “celebrity designer.” Though Kanye prides himself as a trendsetter he’s not the first celebrity to take an internship. NHL star Sean Avery of the Dallas Stars, who hopes to become a fashion editor, interned with Vogue Magazine last summer. If fashion students want an internship, now they have to compete with the “Louis Vuitton Don.” -Michael Cohen

    Good luck to dude if he gets it, but it seems it would be real hard to balance out his schedule, especially since he just had an albums drop… internships are very time consuming, and it’s hard enough to have a social life, let alone a actual obligations… if he’s focused, and can follow someone else’s lead, it may work out… but i dunno how often Kanye really hears “no” in any context…

    This dude is a joke.

    Internships don’t pay sh*t but “experience.” They are for children or for those that already have money. The scenario fits Kanye well.

    I think it’s a good idea for Kan-Gay to stop making music for a while. I know my ears will enjoy not having to listen to his wack ass auto-tune and corny songs about his dead mother’s titts!!!

    Plus Kan-Gay will now be able to sew some tight ass skinny jeans for his butt buddy, Lil Wayne!!

    I like what Kanye stands for. He continues to ruffle peoples feathers by coming just a little bit harder and a lot more creative. I respect Jay and Diddy for what they did in the fashion industry but this dude is just inspired to take normal shit to the next level. Of course I just appreciate people with an open mind and a work ethic to do more and more. I’m sure somebody is gonna start throwin all kinds of salt on my man for this move!

    I wish Kanye the best in this new endeavor and hope that it turns out to be extremely lucrative. So what’s next? Hopefully, it will involve him building community centers, establishing businesses that provides jobs to inner city african american teenagers, and hell, maybe even a school. Put those millions of dollars to work brother.

    Killing Ignorance says:

    Well first off, that is not a vest rather a cardigan, you fashion inebriates. Secondly, ‘Ye is hoping to intern with a top company in order to better his own line. To be the best you have to learn from the best, and who better than with Louis Vuitton.

    good for him-not just another rap star business venture ran by other people, but rather a product of the rapper’s personality. It’s worked for kanye thus far.

    Naw really, this nigga Kanye West think he’s a fuckin’ european, huh? All his style is straight coppied from the europeans. Nigga wannabe a designer and shit. I believe in his deep heart, it hurt him bein’ black he wannabe white, dat’s why he’s been usin’ dat auto-tune shit for the whites to sell records. Trust me, mayn.
    and plus, Louis Vuitton ain’t black.
