It may be hard to believe, but Kanye West was not always the fashion world darling who hobnobbed with Anna Wintour and Riccardo Tisci that he is now.
There was a time when Yeezy was not even ALLOWED to go to a fashion show.
Can you believe the injustice???
During a surprise performance at the Design Miami event at Art Basel in Switzerland, the 35-year-old took a moment before playing his new music to recall a not so glamorous time in his life.

Kanye West recently sat down for an interview with the New York Times and sort of treated it like a therapy session, talking about almost everything you could possibly imagine and then some.
And his fashion comments just might take the cake!
Believe it or Yeezus references his infamous skirt kilt not once, but twice!
The interviewer said Kanye basically used Jay-Z as a buffer to show people "he's cool", to which Mr. West responded

This is definitely shaping up to be the summer of Yeezus!
Not only is Kanye West dropping a new album right before girlfriend Kim Kardashian gives birth to his child, he's also releasing some red hot Nike Air Yeezy IIs.
Ye's been secretly handing out pairs of the new kicks, which feature

Khloe Kardashian had a Cinderella moment on Wednesday at the launch of HPNOTIQ's Glam Louder Program in Beverly Hills.

Unfortunately, Kourt doesn't quite pull this one off. Not even with a matching Celine purse and dark red lips. We do love her leopard print Prada shoes though.

What will Kim Kardashian say!?
There's a rumor floating around that Kanye West's been romantically involved with Riccardo Tisci, and it looks like the designer may have confirmed their relationship years ago!
Back in 2011, Vogue Hommes International published an interview with Givenchy's creative director in their S/S issue, where he dished about his best sexual encounter.
Without revealing his name, Tisci told the mag:

Earlier this week, Yeezy hit up the Atrium in SoHo for a little retail therapy, but to get him in the mood, he asked the store to pop in his new album.
Not wanting to piss off The Don, the Atrium happily obliged, and even tweeted:
