Kanye West performs at New York Fashion Week party

If you weren’t paying enough attention, you may have missed the fact that a majority of the Kardashian clan were absent from Kanye West‘s Yeezy fashion show earlier this week.

Surrounded by smoke and orange lights, West hit the stage at the Plaza Hotel to perform several of his hits, including “Famous”, “All of the Lights” and “Touch the Sky”. The Yeezy team also asked models dressed in tight spandex to stand still in the blazing sun for hours, resulting in audience members giving them water and one model actually fainting.

West and his wife, Kim Kardashian, were being honored by Harper’s Bazaars at its annual ICONS event. I couldn’t stop. No matter what they write, I just couldn’t stop.I appreciate y’all going on this journey for me.

Just before the show began, Kylie Jenner, Kendall Jenner, and Kim Kardashian arrived for their front row seats alongside former editor of Vogue Paris, Carine Roitfeld. All told, according to the Los Angeles Times, attending the show became a five-hour marathon, once transportation to the island was factored in. “When you the LeBron, if you don’t bring home that ring it’s your fault”. Pop-ups all over the world, there’s thousands of people. “I wanna ask y’all right now, y’all ready for THIS album?” before pointing at the Canadian rapper. “Nobody. Kanye is an enterprise and I’m so happy to be part of the whole ride”.

NYFW wraps on September 14, so there are still plenty of opportunities presented by various venues and runways for West to keep creating – and keep creating controversy. “You know, the show has to go on”. He also spoke fashion, opening up about a clothing line coming soon, stating “We’ve had to make all these clothes from scratch for North and for Saint and in the process it was just inevitable that we make kids’ clothes”. The sunny day and heat took its toll on Blue and her clear plastic heels were comfortable by her account, but prone to slipping when her feet started to sweat. We take quality control very seriously and will ensure that these models undergo further, rigorous trials before reaching the consumer.
