Kanye has long been a fan of unconventional fashion shows: Yeezy Season One was an education in the multifunctionality of the bodystocking, Season Three was held at Madison Square Garden, and in Season Four he bussed everyone up to Roosevelt Island in rush hour traffic before making them wait almost two hours in the blistering heat to watch a show in which models allegedly started fainting. But for Season Six, Kanye may have out Kanye’d himself. After skipping out on Fashion Week earlier this year, he has begun teasing the new collection in all its monochromatic clingfilm goodness via paparazzi shots of Kim running day-to-day errands. Except that all the snapshots are actually fake pap shots, giving entirely new meaning to the lyrics “bout to call the Paparazzi on myself”. A caustic commentary on our tabloid culture? A perspicacious take on the outdated fashion calendar? A big fat trolling of us humble content creators and consumers? Who TF knows.
As Kim continues to tease out her Yeezy looks worn in normal everyday situations, we take a moment to consider just what these outfits might look like on us, mere mortals, running to the Post Office before it closes to return our extravagant payday ASOS orders.
