Fashion Writer Live Tweets the Horror of #YeezySeason4 as Models Faint and Kanye Does Nothing
Today, Kanye West debuted his Yeezy Season 4 designs during New York Fashion Week. Because he is a master of Doing It Big, he brought his show over to Roosevelt Island.
Okay, that’s a dumb idea. It’s September. It’s wildly hot.
Here’s what happened, courtesy of The Cut‘s Stella Bugbee.
It started off a little bumpily, but nothing too horrendous was happening:
Two hours into the #YeezySeason4 saga and we’re outside watching hair and make up people arrive.

She mentioned the sun early on in her tweets, not knowing she was foreshadowing a great disaster:
Being herded in a line in the hot sun and yelled at is the great equalizer of #NYFW #YeezySeason4
— Stella Bugbee (@stellabugbee) September 7, 2016
It started to get bad:
A model needed water. The poor models. This is cruelty. #YeezySeason4
— Stella Bugbee (@stellabugbee) September 7, 2016
She got annoyed:
I’d like to see Kanye and Vanessa Beecroft stand in the hot sun in nude leotards for three hours. #YeezySeason4
— Stella Bugbee (@stellabugbee) September 7, 2016
Then, it got really serious:
But of course she tried to stand up again, because: FASHION!! #YeezySeason4
— Stella Bugbee (@stellabugbee) September 7, 2016
Model passed out in the heat is given water by man in the audience but no one on the #YeezySeason4 team helps.

She regretted her involvement as a member of the press:
This is shameful and horrible and I regret coming. #YeezySeason4
— Stella Bugbee (@stellabugbee) September 7, 2016
This better be part of some “performance” and we’re all being trolled because otherwise it’s really bad. #YeezySeason4
— Stella Bugbee (@stellabugbee) September 7, 2016
Honestly Adidas should be ashamed.

Other editors actually left:
Watching editors leave #YeezySeason4 But I feel obligated to watch out for these models and see what else they have to go through.
— Stella Bugbee (@stellabugbee) September 7, 2016
The horror continued:
Model in all black can barely make it down the runway. Is going to fall. #YeezySeason4
— Stella Bugbee (@stellabugbee) September 7, 2016
Most awful thing I have ever seen at #NYFW #YeezySeason4
— Stella Bugbee (@stellabugbee) September 7, 2016
In the end, she made up her mind about the best course of action:
The most responsible thing we could all do would be to write NOTHING about this show. #YeezySeason4
— Stella Bugbee (@stellabugbee) September 7, 2016
Boycott #YeezySeason4
— Stella Bugbee (@stellabugbee) September 7, 2016
This is particularly sad given what a delight his Season 3 show and collection were considered by most fashion bloggers.
