Today, the two are the faces of Balmain, and on Feb. They were both seen as tacky interlopers and brutally rebuffed, with West (the musician) blackballed by many of the top designers and Kardashian (the reality star) reportedly banned from attending the 2012 Met Ball by Anna Wintour herself.What a difference a few years makes. Furthermore, his last serious relationship, with hip-hop model Amber Rose, resulted in an acrimonious split-one that still reverberates to this day-and a public apology in the form of his magnum opus, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.Īs soon as Kimye formed, the duo fought to be taken seriously by the haute couture world-Kanye as designer and Kim as muse.
