kanye and virgil were once offered an internship deal with i believe givenchy back in 2008 , when asked about how it was , they commented about how they were nothing in the fashion industry how that all they were doing was fetching coffees for the higher ups . their story of success is something many would love to emulate . virgils first LV collection was his introduction to the top , but iexpect his 2nd collection to be HIS greatest ever period .

@@crystalroberts5938 honestly, I think there are missing pieces to their friendship we may never know. I can't see jayz and bey their for him when this mother died. There are pictures with him and her playing a broad game. They were there for Vanessa Bryant, there for Lauren London ( even giving a $14m for their kids), Jay paid lill Wayne bills. All these people's friendship didn't seem as deep as the one he had with Kanye. Something Kim might have done. They seem too ride or die to just drop a friend. Maybe, Kim & Kris recorded them without their knowing. I don't know for sure..but look at the pattern. Somethings nor right.
