Kanye West debuted his Yeezy Season 4 during New York Fashion Week on Wednesday (Sept. 7) and it drew sharp criticisms for the way the models were treated during the presentation. Teyana Taylor, who also appeared in West’s “Fade” music video, managed to keep it together on the catwalk.

Other A-list guests with prime seating out of the glare of the sun included American editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, Tyga, La La Anthony, Lewis Hamilton and Pharrell Williams.
If that wasn’t enough, Stella Bugbee, editorial director of The Cut, summed up the general reaction to the show by tweeting, “The most responsible thing we could all do would be to write NOTHING about this show”.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians stars – including Kanye’s wife Kim – arrived at the event in Roosevelt Island in New York City dressed in neutral outfits.
However, their presence might not have been too much of a stretch, considering both Kendall and Kylie were both launching their own collection on the same day.
Added Kylie, 19, also expected to be hitting the runway this week: “We’ve learned how to work with each other better”. Kanye didn’t disappoint yesterday, and we’ve certainly got a lot to look forward to from him coming soon.
“I think that every season we get more and more comfortable”.
It wasn’t just those standing that struggled to perform, either, as several had difficulties walking down the runway in their high-heeled footwear – model Amina Blue even kicked off her perspex Yeezy heels mid walk.
The looks – all of them immediately available at Macys.com – were eclectic. “You know, the show has to go on”.
