Ye makes return to runway with Yeezy Season 01 fashion show

The rapper, formerly known as Kanye West, was joined by his four children North, Chicago, Psalm, and Saint at the star-studded event.

Ye, who legally changed his name from Kanye West, has made his grand return to the runway. The Chicago-bred musician hosted the inaugural Yeezy Season 01 fashion show in Los Angeles on Wednesday (Nov. 4) with his four children there to support.

According to Complex, the showcase took place at the new Yeezy flagship location. Alongside North, Chicago, Psalm, and Saint, other notable attendees included Big Sean, Kid Cudi, 2 Chainz, Jerry Lorenzo, Rich the Kid, and King Combs. The show was opened by Ye’s wife, Bianca Censori. Beyond the fashion, guests were also able to hear new music teased by the controversial rapper.

Natalie Nunn, the “Baddies” reality star who went viral for her North West costume also attended the event.

The fashion show was preceded by a string of concerts by the “The College Dropout” performer as he maintains his superstar status amid consistent scandal. Earlier this year, the 49-year-old issued a full-page ad in The Wall Street Journal to apologize for past antisemitic remarks, thank the Black community and reflect on what he says is a bipolar I diagnosis.

Since then, he has returned to the stadium stage with a string of performances marked with special guests and high-profile attendees. Although concerts and appearances set for the U.K. at Wireless festival and Russia were canceled or disrupted, successful shows trended on social media from Spain, New Orleans, Chicago, and Indonesia.

Most recently, the Grammy winner performed for a full house in Houston. Over the 2026 Halloween weekend, Drake and Travis Scott were both reportedly in the audience as the “Heartless” singer performed for 80,210 fans, setting a new Hip-Hop record according to Hot97.
