Designer Anne Bowen is not at all pleased with Kanye West right now.

The designer is upset at West because the singer added his fashion show at the last minute to an already packed New York Fashion Week schedule.

“We have been prepping for a year for this at considerable financial, labor- and commitment-cost to our company,” Bowen explained to Women’s Wear Daily. “Our show date has been scheduled for months and has been on the Fashion Calendar for weeks. We went through all the proper channels to make this a reality. And just yesterday we learned that Kanye West is having a show at the same time on the same date as ours.”

Now, Bowen knows she has to move her show if she wants to get any recognition at all.

“Kanye knows he is a media sensation and it is just not ethical to do this,” she said. “It’s like we are David and he is Goliath. We have put our heart and soul into our show, and should not be stepped on like this.”

“In order for our show to have any significance, we now have to move our date and time which is a logistical nightmare,” she continued. “Three days out from our originally scheduled time.”
