Kanye West has upset street wear designer Anne Bowen, after he announced a surprise New York Fashion Week show, which clashed with her own.
The "Bound 2" rapper will be previewing the second season of his Kanye West X Adidas Originals Collection and Bowen has claimed she must now change the date of her own show to stop it from clashing, reported Fox news.
"We have been prepping for a year for this at considerable financial, labour - and commitment-cost to our company. Our show date has been scheduled for months and has been on the Fashion Calendar for weeks.
"We went through all the proper channels to make this a reality. And just yesterday we learned that Kanye West is having a show at the same time on the same date as ours. Kanye knows he is a media sensation and it is just not ethical to do this. It's like we are David and he is Goliath. We have put our heart and soul into our show, and should not be stepped on like this?," she said.
The 38-year-old rapper's February show was a media sensation, having been attended by the likes of Beyonce, Justin Bieber, Rihanna, and his wife Kim Kardashian West.
