Kanye West has made his debut as a catwalk model, repping Balenciaga for the band’s presentation at this year’s Paris Fashion Week.West made his appearance – which was not announced before the show started, nor acknowledged during it – strutting down the catwalk in a boxy black jacket and trouser combo.
The jacket was lined all over with bulky, zippered pouches and a tag reading “SECURITY”, while the pants glistened with a glossy sheen.The rapper’s outfit matched the dystopian theme of Balenciaga’s showcase, with the catwalk itself being a shallow puddle in a muddy stage modelled after a battlefield.
In a statement shared alongside the show (via Rain), the brand’s mononymous creative director, Demna, wrote that he’s “decided to no longer explain [his] collections and verbalize [his] designs, but to express a state of mind”.He continued: “Fashion is a visual art and all we need is for it to be seen through someone’s eyes.
