WWD reports that 20 minutes into the show, which started about an hour late, approximately 30 models opted to take a seat on the grass. Audience members called the whole thing “ridiculous” and “not chic”, per the Daily Beast. One other critic stated: “Yeezy season 1,2,3, & 4 all look the exact same congrats Kanye”.
Last month, speculation about the possibility of such a hook-up started when a billboard appeared in L.A. which read “Calabasas is the new Abu Dhabi”, with the logos of Kanye’s label G.O.O.D.

Robin Givhan, the Pulitzer Prize-winning fashion critic at the Washington Post, who was in attendance asked: “Is this the show?” Including Tyga’s rumoured ex-girlfriend Amina Blue who was seen taking off her Yeezy shoes. We baked in the sun awaiting entry as many bemoaned West’s venue choice, though it turned out to be a tactful one as hypebeasts and gawkers had all but disappeared.
“I think it’s cool to be able to see both sides”, Kendall said. The runway show also featured looks heavy on floral patterns from Macy’s private INC brand collection in collaboration with NY fashion icon Iris Apfel.

Bergdorf Goodman’s fashion director Bruce Pask helped her to the end of the runway. “I just like it – it’s the way I dress”, he said.

The teen added, “I haven’t dyed my hair in a year, I’ve been saving it for this moment and it got really lights – I was like – I’m going to go with it – it’s Fashion Week”.
