Fashion and a big triangle dominated Kanye West’s “Yeezy Season 4”
Kanye West held his big “Yeezy Season 4” fashion show event this afternoon on New York’s Roosevelt Island, and though people have come to expect flashy spectacles from him, West was all about business today. Rather than announcing a new Kanye West without a headphone jack or dropping new tracks (like he did when he debuted The Life Of Pablo during Yeezy Season 3 earlier this year) West decided to let his clothes do the talking—literally, because he didn’t do any talking. Really, given the expectations people have for whenever West does anything, this triangular fashion show was a whole lot of hype with very little payoff. That could be because the event started over an hour late, though.
As it turns out, waiting for a fashion show to start is a surprisingly arduous process, which is probably why models tend to look so unhappy when they’re on the runway. West decided to pass the time by streaming the entirety of The Life Of Pablo while showing nothing but a glimpse of the New York Skyline.
This was fun when tracks like “Ultralight Beam” were playing, but became less fun when the meta-gag of “I Love Kanye” sounded a little too true-to-life:
I used to love Kanye, I used to love Kanye. I even had the pink Polo, I thought I was Kanye. What if Kanye made a song about Kanye? Called ‘I Miss The Old Kanye,’ man that would be so Kanye.
