GUESS WHO: HUGGED UP AT FASHION WEEK
Wednesday, September 12, 2007

( Photo by Bennett Raglin / WireImage )
Guess what couple was hugged up backstage at Fashion Week on Tuesday? Hint: She is a designer and he is a rapper. Easy, huh?
It’s Kanye West and his fiancée Alexis Phifer! The were backstage at the Ghita Fashion Show. Ghita is Alexis’ new line of high fashion items and she made her runway debut yesterday at fashion week. Kanye took time off his busy schedule of promoting and sat front row in support of his soon-to-be wife. Mama West was there too. Fun times. See more photos over at Cake & Ice Cream..

Good to see him supporting his woman. Hope she don’t start making more money than him, cuz then it’ll be over. More whining and tantrums.

Her shoes remind me of the one Chloe Sevigny wore a few years ago…I saw some granny wedges by Dries van Noten similar to them too… Are those from her line??? I think it was last year’s Grammy’s…maybe the year before when Kanye looked like Tony Montana, she looked great…I thought her outfit was the best at the show. I wanna see some of her stuff… will I go over to style.com or queenofcatwalk.tv and watch all the runway stills? NO. But, I would like to see it…maybe yall could post some lol

She was probably like, yeah Ye, fuck them MTV bitches….she was probably down for her man, just like he’s down for her right now supporting her at her show.
I don’t know why people think it would be hard to deal with him; i can see if he threw a frivolous argument, but he had a point. I might have thrown a “50″ tandrum, and threw some shit and around and snatched a flat screen off the wall and threw it off the balcony of the hotel. I’m sorry, i was feeling his frustration.

Them shoes are fly…that’s why she’s a designer, and other people are….well who cares what they do for a living, it’s not relevant. True designers and innovators think outside the box, if they didn’t everybody would be walking around looking cookie cutter wearing the same shit. I am grateful for people who are visionary enough to “step out there.”

@#55
Jscene i understood his frustration too. They played him and i detest that weak half ass apology. Nonetheless, Kanye seems for lack of a better word– High strung. Like he’d exhaust you with it. Like you’d have to seriously buy him some new REALLY FASHIONABLE, FUNKY THREADS to make him finally stop! Distract him
I still like him though.

I am really feeling those shoes. They not only look chic, but comfortable. Good to see Kanye mother admiring her soon to be daughter in laws passion for fashion. Thus far, I admire her line. Its sophisticated and eclectic look. Its just enough eclectic with a flare of European syle. I am really feeling her style!
I admire this couple. They appear to be in love. They are not hiding to show their compassion for one another. Its no where fake. Its soothing to see two young artistic African Americans really getting a piece of the American dream……. making lots of paper.
