New York City has been abuzz with Fashion Week for the past five days and has only a few more before the world’s top brands pack up and fly to London, but what’s really keeping us on our toes is the anticipation for the Kanye West’s Yeezy Season 5 show. Taking place at Pier 59 in the Chelsea neighbourhood of NYC, the show comes after the success of West’s previous lines as well as 21 global popups.
We’re curious as to what kind of styles this show will feature, since West has been tightlipped about the whole thing, but judging by his past collections, we expect more beige monotone jumpers and overpriced trainers.
West sent out invitations to the show a few days ago, but naturally he had to one-up the traditional paper invite. Vacuum sealed long sleeve shirts with the words “Lost Hills” on the sleeves and front were sent out to prospective guests with merely the words “Season 5” on the tag. Maybe it’s just me, but I would think guests would want more information…
This show will be one of West’s first official public appearances since he cancelled the second half of his Saint Pablo tour and was hospitalized for exhaustion. Needless to say we are interested to see how this show goes!
