Kanye West Celebrity Sightings - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Fall/Winter 2020/2021 : Day Eight

Kanye West hit up downtown Los Angeles on Thursday (April 27) to host auditions for models for his upcoming fashion show, Yeezy SZN 10. However, according to a TMZ report, this particular audition had a bit of a theme to it. Moreover, it seems like Ye sought out bald models in particular, and hopeful participants with shaved heads wore all black when they arrived. Furthermore, they lined up as early as 7 a.m., and some waited until 3 p.m. to receive an audience. Presumably, disheveled pictures of the rapper that surfaced on Friday (April 28) was likely taken from these sessions.

The reason for that is because Kanye apparently wore a shirt gifted to him by a disabled person who went to the audition. In more disheveled pictures, the person who presumably gifted him the shirt appears alongside him. Still, all these pieces of information add up to an unclear, albeit inclusive, vision for the next Yeezy show. Given all of the Chicago native's public controversies and low profile, many wonder how it will even take shape and be disseminated in pop culture.

Kanye West Gearing Up For Yeezy SZN 10

Of course, it's not like that turbulent path of backlash strayed Kanye West away from the fashion world. In fact, he recently popped out at the Fear Of God runway show along with his new wife Bianca Censori, and even jammed out to his music. It was actually quite an odd clip, capturing Kanye vibing out to his KIDS SEE GHOSTS track "Feel The Love." That cut features Pusha T and project-length collaborator Kid Cudi, two names that the 45-year-old isn't on the best terms with at the moment.

Meanwhile, fans can only wonder what kind of event, product, or statement the "Street Lights" artist will bring us next. Considering everything going on around him, going to Yeezy SZN 10 would be an act of morbid curiosity, hope, and partial nervousness. Also, Kim Kardashian recently blasted him for his "insane narrative" surrounding their divorce. While he once sought to expand his profile with every move, now it seems he must reclaim it with accountability. For when that day comes, return to HNHH for the latest on Kanye West.
