Kanye West Omitted From NYFW Schedule


Earlier this week Camp Kanye announced the Yeezy Season 5 collection would show at Pier 59 Studios for New York Fashion Week in a much smaller event than last year's disaster on Roosevelt Island [click here if you missed that].

Now comes word Kanye won't be listed on the official NYFW schedule...

According to reports Yeezy Season 5 will not appear on the official NYFW schedule because Kanye failed to contact the Council Of Fashion Designers Of America about booking a time slot and the time he chose for his show is already taken.

 The council confirms the news to Womens Wear Daily
“Once again, CFDA was not approached or consulted about the possibility of Kanye West showing on the official New York Fashion Week schedule.” 
 “As the scheduler of the week, the CFDA works with more than 300 brands to identify appropriate times for them to show their collections and avoid scheduling conflicts. Not going through the proper channels is disruptive to the whole week and unfair to designers who have secured spots through the formal procedure." 
“This bad behavior is not acceptable to the CFDA and should not be tolerated by the industry. Because of this, the CFDA will not list Kanye West on the official schedule.”
