Kanye West is never one to hold his tongue.

However, unlike most of his Hollywood contemporaries, the rapper was noticeably mute in voicing his views on the recent US election.  A move which surprised many given his publicly declared desires to run for office in 2020.

During one of many rants at the show, he added that while he didn’t vote, he would have voted for the US’ president elect.

“People really associate me with sparkle and a little bit of street edge and things like that,” she says. “I wanted to make sure the collection had that, but then some [styles] feel very glam and high-end fashion.”
