Yesterday, Fern Mallis—the creator of Fashion Week—said she was "not a fan" of Kanye West in any shape or form, and today Kanye has responded via Twitter:
To Fern Mallis: I just want you to understand that attempting to do clothing has been very difficult
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 20, 2015
and I have encountered countless amounts of bigotry along the way.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 20, 2015
I have millions of ideas and I represent a new generation just trying to express themselves in a broken world.

I don't call myself a designer as I was not allowed to go to Saint Martins
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 20, 2015
because I was too famous by the time I realized I wanted to design.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 20, 2015
Fame is often looked down upon in the design world, so it's actually been something I had to overcome.

All we have are our dreams, and you can step on our dreams and ideas all you want, but we won't stop fighting.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 20, 2015
We want to innovate and we will win someday.

If you wanna have a drink with me, book a table at the spotted pig when I'm back in NY.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 20, 2015
It should be noted that The Spotted Pig does not take reservations, but hey, it's Kanye, who knows.
