Kanye West has officially brought Yeezy back to the runway after four years, unveiling his new Yeezy Season 01 collection in Los Angeles on Wednesday night (November 4).
The highly anticipated fashion show took place at the brand’s new Yeezy Flagship Droam 1 location, drawing a star-studded crowd that included Kid Cudi, Big Sean, 2 Chainz, A$AP Nast and fashion designer Jerry Lorenzo.
Ye’s daughter North West and wife Bianca Censori were also in attendance, alongside Natalie Nunn, the Clermont Twins and other familiar faces.
But the clothing wasn’t the only thing grabbing attention. West also used the event to preview what appeared to be multiple unreleased songs, giving fans a first listen to new music during the presentation.
Kanye West Debuts Yeezy Season 01 With Unreleased Music and Celebrity Guests
The Yeezy Season 01 runway show marked West’s first major fashion presentation since his controversial Yeezy Season 9 event in Paris in October 2022.
Rather than using a traditional runway, models walked in circular formations around a large white hill-like structure, showcasing a collection dominated by minimalist silhouettes and monochromatic designs.
Rising rapper Nettspend was among those modeling pieces from the collection.
The event was also livestreamed on Kick by streamer Neon, allowing viewers to follow the presentation as it unfolded.
Several unreleased Ye tracks played throughout the show, quickly attracting attention across social media. Music update accounts, including Kurrco, shared snippets from the presentation, with one preview reportedly titled “Out of My Mind.”
Although West has not announced official release plans for the music, the previews gave fans another reason to pay attention to his return to fashion.
Kid Cudi’s appearance was also notable given the pair’s highly publicized disagreements in previous years.
Yeezy Returns Four Years After Kanye West’s Adidas Split
The Los Angeles show represents a significant moment for Yeezy, which has undergone major changes since West lost several high-profile business partnerships in 2022.
That year, Adidas terminated its longstanding collaboration with the rapper following his antisemitic remarks. Gap had also ended its partnership with Yeezy the previous month.
The controversy followed West’s Yeezy Season 9 presentation in Paris, where he and others wore shirts displaying the phrase “White Lives Matter,” drawing widespread criticism.
Since then, West has increasingly focused on rebuilding Yeezy as an independent fashion business.
Earlier in 2026, the brand began introducing new clothing essentials through its website before expanding its retail presence.
In August, Yeezy partnered with JD Sports to distribute new footwear, with the Yeezy 800 sneaker expected to arrive during the holiday season.
The latest runway show also coincided with the opening of Yeezy’s new Los Angeles flagship location on Beverly Boulevard.
What’s Next for Kanye West and Yeezy?
The return comes during a year in which West has also attempted to address the controversies surrounding his public image.
In January, the rapper published a full-page apology in The Wall Street Journal, acknowledging the harm caused by his previous antisemitic statements.
Now, with Yeezy Season 01 officially unveiled, West appears to be placing renewed emphasis on fashion, independent retail and new music.
The presence of major hip-hop figures, including Kid Cudi, Big Sean and 2 Chainz, added another layer of attention to a presentation already generating discussion online.
