While a sign circulated prior to the Yeezy Season 5 runway, stating no pictures or video, plenty of both have emerged. To start the show, videos of the models standing on a rotating platform were projected onto a screen, followed by the models walking the runway. Kanye did not come out after the presentation.
What is clear from initial images is that Kanye West has moved his Yeezy label in a direction that is less dependent on clingy knit fabrics and athletic heritage looks. In the fall collection he showed denim for the first time and also added new takes on outerwear, including a giant fur coat (as worn by model Halima Aden, the first contestant in Miss Minnesota’s history to wear a hijab during the competition).
That said, the collection still included sporty items (it was presented by Adidas after all), including some over-sized crew necks with Adidas Originals branding, and it looks sometime this year we will see the launch of the long awaited Calabas collection, made in collaboration with Adidas Originals. That said, it’s still not known if Calabas will hit this spring as originally thought or will drop in the fall.
The presentation was also the official coming out party for a new Yeezy jogger, which West has been spotted in as of late, but for now they are the sneaker with no name.
Check out video from the show below. We will update as we receive more images.
