Kanye West was refused entry to several catwalk shows at Paris Fashion Week, according to reports.

The rapper was apparently turned away from runway shows for Alexander McQueen and Louis Vuitton after turning up uninvited.

According to the New York Post, West, a regularly at fashion week, eventually used a side entrance to get into McQueen's show.

"He did not make a request to attend, but he came uninvited," said spokesperson for KCD, the company which ran the McQueen show, said.

A spokesperson for the rapper refused to comment on the reports, which come in the same week that a London fashion college denied West had enrolled as a student.
