Kanye West to hire homeless models for his next fashion show
Kanye West hopes to support the homeless with his next Yeezy fashion show, according to the New York Daily News.
The rapper plans to enlist homeless people to model the clothing from his new collaboration with the Skid Row Fashion Week brand in an upcoming presentation, TMZ reported.
The initiative would aim to provide jobs with the Skid Row company for homeless people in Los Angeles.
A representative for West, 44, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The plan began when West met with Skid Row Fashion Week founder David Sabastian this month and agreed to work together on an upcoming clothing line, Sebastian told TMZ.
Both men’s companies would also support the homeless population by donating proceeds from the fashion event, according to the report.
West, whose wildly popular Yeezy shoes and clothing are always in high demand, has held multiple fashion shows in New York in the past.
Last summer, the rapper, known for songs such as “All of the Lights” and “Jesus Walks,” released his latest album, “Donda,” which is named after his late mother.
He currently has “Donda 2″ in the works as well.
