As of Thursday, September 25, 2014

Two bits of fashion news zoomed to the top of my Google feed today—and both involved Kayne West.

The musician, celebrity, fashion icon and provocateur was recently spotted teaching a fashion class at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College in downtown LA. (The gig was part of the 250-hour of community service West was sentenced to perform last march for belting a photographer at the LA airport).

You may wonder what West’s actual fashion education credentials are. But that brings me to the second West-related fashion tidbit in my Google feed. West and his wife Kim Kardashian were spotted yesterday bringing their 15-month old daughter North to her first fashion show at Paris Fashion Week. Balenciaga, of course.

I’m not sure what exactly West said to the fashion students at Trade Tech, but I’m sure they appreciated getting a peek into how the top end of the business operates.
