The Kanye West Yeezy brand is returning to the runway after more than four years. Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has announced a new fashion presentation in Los Angeles titled Yeezy Season 01. The event marks the label’s first full-scale runway show since October 2022 and comes as the brand continues rebuilding its retail presence.
Kanye West to reportedly stage brand Yeezy’s first fashion show in four years
According to Business of Fashion, Yeezy Season 01 is scheduled for Wednesday, November 4, at 8 p.m. local time. The presentation will take place at Yeezy Flagship Droam 1, located at 4317 Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles.
Invitations sent to members of the press reportedly listed the event’s start time. The presentation will also celebrate the opening of the brand’s first brick-and-mortar store, bringing its runway and retail operations together.
This will be Yeezy’s first full-scale runway presentation since Season 9, which debuted in Paris in October 2022. That show attracted widespread criticism after West and several models appeared in shirts bearing the slogan “White Lives Matter.”
The controversy intensified later that month when West made a series of antisemitic remarks. Adidas subsequently terminated its partnership with the designer, while other companies also distanced themselves from him.
West has since publicly apologized for his antisemitic and racist remarks. In January 2026, he addressed the backlash in a full-page advertisement in The Wall Street Journal, acknowledging the harm caused by his actions. His subsequent efforts to address the controversy have also attracted public attention.
Meanwhile, Yeezy has gradually rebuilt its retail presence. Business of Fashion reported that JD Sports began carrying independent Yeezy footwear in August, giving the label another distribution channel beyond its direct-to-consumer website.
The title “Yeezy Season 01” also marks a departure from the brand’s previous collection numbering. However, the label has not disclosed details about the clothing, footwear, or models expected to feature in the presentation.
The November 4 event will bring Yeezy back to the runway in a different business environment from its previous shows. While the brand is expanding its independent retail operations, its return also comes against the backdrop of the controversies that disrupted its earlier partnerships.
