Kanye West’s Entire Fashion Week: A Timeline

By Allison P. Davis

How are you feeling today? Burnt out? Exhausted? Barely clinging to the final shreds of your human soul after this cold and blustery Fashion Week? Allowed, but really, nobody was as busy as Kanye West.

The rapper, designer, and self-appointed Robin Hood of Fashion had, hands down, the most productive Fashion Week. For eight solid days, Yeezy was out there: hitting the streets, designing a collection, rapping, giving quotable interviews, and attending more shows than a celebutante trying to jump-start her modeling career. Somehow he even managed to find time in his busy schedule of revolutionizing fashion to smile gamely for the cameras and insult some people on Twitter.

Here’s a timeline of everything Yeezy did during New York Fashion Week. Behold, be amazed, and remember, as you gripe and groan before heading into Milan and Paris for more fashion weeks: You have just as many hours in a day as Kanye. (Just, you know, not the drivers, handlers, or money.)

February 17th, 2015, Time Unknown: Red Velvet  Hoodie, Day 1 Somehow, between his Adidas Original presentation and this day, Kanye has found time to give a lengthy and highly quotable interview to Style.com in which he explains his "Robin Hood" theory of fashion: making it accessible for the masses and not just the rich and chic. Later, he will dine with Taylor Swift at the Spotted Pig. By all reports, he let her finish before stealing fries from her plate. Photo: 2015 BuzzFoto

Friday February 19th, 2015, 10:30am: Yeezy is Touched by an Angel (Ralph Lauren.) At the end of his Fashion Week, Yeezy is blessed by none other than Mr. Lauren himself. Kanye can barely control his explosive fanboy gushing: "I love this so much. You know I love Ralph," he tells the Associated Press. "He's the No. 1 inspiration. He's the greatest designer of our time." After an impromptu anointment by his great silver-haired hero, Kanye realized he could ascend no further, and ended his fashion week on a high note, ready to return to his regular life, and a third day with his Red Velvet Hoodie. Goodnight Sweet Prince.
