What a show that was, i almost teared up. A secret show to top off Paris Fashion Week! The guy is a genius! I think the use of the young children singing was such a vibe! It gave the feeling of new energy, what was going to come from the future. In typical Ye fashion, he went beyond the traditional runway experience and incorporated performance aspects into the event. An invite-only crowd of 50 was treated to a children’s choir all decked out in YEEZY clothing who opened up the show and performed as the models started to gradually walk out and surround them.

I loved the forward thinking of Kanye West’s Yzy’s season 9 collection, unorthodox silhouettes, each piece having no trims but made from jersey so could only be put on over the head. Ease of wearing but so much drama in each piece.

I have never seen a bomber jacket, sculpted with oversized shoulders and bulging body into an elasticated hem before. The jerseys were all in different washes and textures which against each other looked fresh. The choice of models was abstract, it gave a sense of contemporary, zeitgeist but normal life.

We were also treated to a glimpse of the new Jamie XX and Kanye West track which will be out soon. I love James Blake and to combine with Kanye West is such a vibe. All in all i was really excited by the show and it was emotional to see Kanye create something so future forward after all the drama that has been surrounding him as of late. It just shows if you focus and believe in yourself, big things can happen.
