Kanye is good friends with Givenchy’s creative director Riccardo Tisci, who designed the packaging and wardrobe for the Watch the Throne album and tour. Tisci even gave the first T-shirt from Givenchy’s children’s line to Alicia and Swizz Beatz’ son Egypt.

It was a Bad Boy reunion at Paris Fashion Week. Sean “Diddy” Combs linked up with his former signee Shyne at the Kenzo show on Sunday. “Me and Shyne Po front row at Kenzo,” wrote Diddy. Shyne, who is an Orthodox Jew, was dressed in his traditional Hasidic garb as he sat alongside the hip-hop mogul and later headed to dinner with the Bad Boy crew including Cassie.

The two have reconciled after Shyne took the rap for the infamous Club New York shooting in 1999. He served a nine-year prison sentence after being convicted of assault and gun possession, while Diddy was acquitted.

“As far as Puff is concerned, that’s been a long time coming,” Shyne recently told MTV News. “He had reached out to me twice while I was in the pen, but I just wasn’t ready for it.”
