Yeezy reportedly to remain at NYFW

With all this talk of who is coming (Rihanna and Fenty are returning) and going (Proenza Schouler is off to Paris) at New York Fashion Week, it has been reported that Yeezy Season 6 will be a part of NYFW in September.

While West has never received any particular high praise for his designs, his celebrity popularity and ability to bring out other celebrities and top fashion industry professionals to his show is still very much appreciated by many members of the industry. His wife, Kim Kardashian West, along with the rest of the Kardashian/Jenner clan, help generate ample media coverage to the event.

Currently, no date or location for the show has been specified, and the schedule of official shows has not been released by the CFDA.

In the past, West has found himself in trouble over not consulting with the CFDA over the scheduling time for his show. His show times have conflicted with more established fashion houses like Naeem Khan and Marchesa. Last season, he moved his show up two hours as to avoid conflict with Marchesa's time slot.

He once staged an entire concert at Madison Square Garden to debut his line, but last season he scaled back and showed at Pier 59 studios.

West may receive his share of flack from fashion critics, but his merchandise sells. His Yeezy Boost shoes are known to sell out within 24 hours of dropping, and his Yeezy merchandise has sold out at Barneys New York.
