Kanye West debuted the Yeezy Season 5 collection today at Pier 59 Studios in New York. Always one to put on an eventful spectacle (with past shows spanning from Roosevelt Island to Madison Square Garden), the rapper took a more low-key approach this season.
See below for a play-by-play of today's Yeezy Season 5 show.
3:39 PM Models lineup for the finale walk, showing off a range of looks that lend way to a new side of the Yeezy Collection. From denim jackets to jeans and "Calabasas" merch, it appears as though West has switched up his signature aesthetic this season. West did not take a final bow at the end of the show, instead Kim Kardashian's departure signaled the end of the show.

3:25 PM: While we're still not sure all the celebrities we can expect at the show, Hailey Baldwin and Lala Anthony were spotted sitting front row:
3:00 PM Kim Kardashian West was spotted leaving her New York apartment for the Yeezy Season 5 show—most likely wearing a look from the new season collection. Kardashian West wore a deep purple monochromatic look—a sleeveless turtleneck, sweatpants, puffer coat and lace-up boots.
