Philipp Plein, the maximalist designer whose studs and skulls bling brighter than those of nearly all his competitors, cordially invited the fashion industry to a black-tie dinner and fashion show at the Pool and the Grill. It would mark the triumphant return of his runway show to New York Fashion Week. This dinner, to be held on Monday, Feb. 11, would include the new collections for both his Philipp Plein and Billionaire labels, a three-course meal and, the invitation promised, a “performance by Kanye West not to be missed.”Invitations included this promise in bold, lest it be missed. Mr. West had been booked, and according to TMZ, the gossip site, a $900,000 advance had been sent.
