Kanye West has added another level to his ever growing relationship with the world of fashion after making his runway debut as a Balenciaga model.

Ye was tapped by the high-end fashion house’s creative director Demna Gvasalia to represent their Spring/Summer 2023 collection at Paris Fashion Week on Saturday night (October 1).

The rapper opened the show, walking down a mud-covered runway at the Parc des Expositions in an outfit that did not stray too far from his recent look of choice for public appearances.

According to Vogue, the all-black motocross-meets-military separates which West rocked with a pair of normcore boots were a symbol of Balenciaga’s dedication to do away with traditional fashion industry labels.

“I’ve decided to no longer explain my collections and verbalise my designs, but to express a state of mind,” said Demna of the new collection in his press notes. “Fashion is a visual art and all we need is for it to be seen through someone’s eyes. You either like it or not.”

Kanye shared a still of him modeling the Balenciaga ensemble on Instagram along with a simple yet menacing caption that read: “WAR,” likely aimed at adidas and Gap.
