he’d made as a designer and left many editors feeling so angry that they vowed never again to enter the mysterious world of Yeezy.On Wednesday, at New York’s Pier 59 studios, however, West stripped things right back. So far back, in fact, that it left many sitting in his pitch black set, waiting for the lights to come on, to wonder just what this lack of theatrics might be telling us.Models including social media star Amina Blue and hijab-wearing Halima Aden, first appeared on giant screens in front of an audience that included American Vogue editor Anna Wintour, sat beside Kim Kardashian, who was wearing top-to-toe berry-coloured bodycon.
The
cast then emerged in real life, with many sporting slogan athleisure
looks ('Mulholland’ and ‘Lost Hills’ were emblazoned on) as well
as versions of Adidas’s iconic Calabasas sweatpants, in homage to wife
Kim’s California hometown.
And then it was over, in 13 short minutes.The front row appearance was the first for Kim since she was held at gunpoint in Paris in October and the family have kept a relatively low profile since the incident.
"So proud of my baby for his amazing show today! It was so good! I'm so SO proud of him!!!" she tweeted afterwards.
There was no epic stadium set, no politically-charged rant and no outrageous model demands (one year Kanye outlined a 20 point-ruling for those that walked in the show, including specific facial expressions and a directive on ‘no fast or slow movements’ which He kept the Season 5 audience tight and invites were sent out just two hours before show time (sweatshirts accompanied by Jackie Nickerson-lensed zines).

West
himself checked into rehab in November, after suffering temporary
psychosis and sleep deprivation, and neither of their two children, or
any other members of the Kardashian clan were present at the show.

Even the celebrity guest list was pared down. Among his notables:
ASAP Ferg and La La Anthony, Pusha T, Kylie Jenner, Tyga, and Hailey
Baldwin.
