Rapper cum fashion designer, Kanye West showcased his 2016 spring collection on the first day of the New York Fashion Week and it was has led to different reactions.
Kanye’s collection for Adidas did not depart totally from his previous collections, as nude and earth tones still dominated the scene.
The season 4 collection of the rapper was shown on Roosevelt Island and guests were transported there in buses, as the location was not exposed before hand.
Kanye’s show was criticised for starting late, over an hour later than the 3pm earlier stated. His models were also made to stand in the over 80s degree heat, waiting for the show to start. Soon after, some of them sat down to wait, while one even fainted from dehydration before the show even began.
Meanwhile, no provision was made for water and shade for them.
