No Joke. Now that “808 & Heartbreaks” is done, Kanye wants to focus on his other passion, the fashion industry. While the world continues to wait for his Pastelle release in January, Kanye will continue to perfect his fashion art by becoming a celebrity “intern” to famed fashion designers such as Louis Vuitton and designer Raf Simons. Simons told the NY Times:

“I was blown away from the planet when he told me.  I know he’s very serious about this -I dont take it as a joke- but how can I imagine him being my intern?  It’s a very extreme situation.”

West has stated time and time again that he does not want to be known as just another fashion celeb and that he does take his fashion design and education seriously. If West does indeed become an intern he will be the most over qualified considering he already launched a jewelry line and an upcoming shoe line for Louis Vuitton. Plus I don’t think anyone would be saying “Kanye, go get me a bottle of Evian and some cigarettes for me” any time at the designer headquarters.
