"You can step on our dreams and ideas all you want, but we won’t stop fighting."
Kanye West has posted a series of tweets responding to negative comments Fashion week creator Fern Mallis said about him earlier in the week.
When asked in an interview if she was a fan of Kanye West, who arrived in London today for LFW (London Fashion Week), Fern replied that she is "not a fan."
"I'm kind of over Kanye," she said in an interview with the NY Post. "I mean, I'm not a fan of his music, and the attitude and the agenda is not my style."
Although she didn't actually comment on Kanye's recent designs, or his place in the world of fashion more generally, Kanye took to Twitter to defend his place in the industry.
To Fern Mallis: I just want you to understand that attempting to do clothing has been very difficult

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

because I was too famous by the time I realized I wanted to design.

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.

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.
