After receiving criticism from Fern Mallis (seen here) - the creator of New York Fashion Week – after debuting his fashion line for adidas Originals, Kanye West took to Twitter to respond to Ms. Mallis’s negative comments about how she is “not a fan of his music” and is “kind of over Kanye.” Contrary to what many would expect from Ye in this instance, the rapper, producer, and now fashion designer calmly explained his current position in the fashion industry and the struggles that he has faced along the way. To cap it off, Kanye offers Fern Mallis an extended invitation to meet with him to discuss the matter further.

and I have encountered countless amounts of bigotry along the way. — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 20, 2015

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 — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 20, 2015

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. — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 20, 2015

All we have are our dreams, and you can step on our dreams and ideas all you want, but we won’t stop fighting.
