Trending at New York Fashion Week

Yeezy 4! Yeezy 4!

It isn’t Fashion Week without a Kanye West headline, and this season there are meant to be a few. First, there was his Life of Pablo tour which took Madison Square Garden by storm on September 5 and 6, just days before NYFW officially kicked off. Second, Yeezy 4 landed in a suitably grand fashion the following day. After the rapper stirred up controversy with his model casting tweet announcing “multiracial women only”, he shuttled people to a secret spot on Roosevelt Island for his show which featured a performance from the artist Vanessa Beecroft. Attendees waited for hours without water or bathrooms. West’s models finally emerged, wearing sexy, over-the-knee boots and hoodies in his signature nude. Earlier West told Vogue.com he was inspired by his family and life in Calabasas, L.A. Go figure.

Snapchat or Stories?

Around this time of year, the fashion media loves to publish lists of influencers to follow on social media. Chances are you’ve seen them; the lists are always the same, but the social media channels and terminology tend to change with the times. Ten years ago it was the “Bloggers to Follow on Twitter.” Five years ago it was the “Street Style Muses To Stalk On Instagram.” Last year, “The Social Media Stars To Befriend On Snapchat.” And this season? It’s Instagram Stories. The Facebook-owned photo-sharing app already reigns as fashion’s most beloved social network. And now with Stories, models, editors and social media types can overshare those catwalk moments to their hearts’ content. Expect to be drowning in BTS video clips and hand-drawn doodles.

3. Did we mention it’s open to the public? The following day, September 10th, from noon to 9 p.m, the pier will be open to consumers who will be able to shop the new collection. Gigi Hadid will also be making a special appearance that day.
