For Autumn/Winter 2015, Kanye West and Adidas Originals unveiled YEEZY SEASON 1, a collection of apparel and footwear. Described by West as the world's first "solutions-based" clothing line, the individual pieces define a style that matches the relentless pace of contemporary lives. "I don't want the clothes to be the life," he says. "I want the clothes to help the life." Presented during New York Fashion Week, the show was conceptualized by West in close collaboration with renowned contemporary artist Vanessa Beecroft. Guests including Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Kim Kardashian West, Rihanna, Drake, Justin Bieber, P. Diddy, Kris Jenner, Kendall Jenner, Khloe Kardashian, George Condo, Anna Wintour, Spike Jonze, Russell Simmons, Big Sean, Pete Wentz, Pusha T, A$AP Ferg, Steven Klein, 2Chainz, Cassie, Alexander Wang, Kehinde Wiley, Tom Sachs, Gia Coppola, Travis Scott, A-Trak, Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn, Hailey Baldwin, and Adidas athletes John Wall and Von Miller. With this collection, West's goal is to absolve consumers of dressing's daily stress by creating a line of high-quality essentials that can be freely combined in infinite ways—"like Legos," he says. For the designer this means stripped-down, comfortable, and unpretentious clothes for a "modern jet-set couple," pieces to be worn from the gym to the office to a meeting to the airport and everywhere in between. "I wanted something that felt like New York or Paris or Tokyo or Santa Barbara or Chicago—a worldliness and an ease."
