Kanye West Schedules Surprise Sunday Service During Paris Fashion Week

Musician and fashion designer Kanye West is bringing his popular Sunday Service to Paris tomorrow starting at 9am. The popular event, which he has staged in different cities and festivals such as Coachella, features a gospel-choir reinterpreting his songs. Only a small handful of editors received the coveted invitation earlier today, followed by another e-vite for the Yeezy Season 8 show scheduled for Monday night.

This unexpected addition to the fashion week calendar by West is a bold move, given the tense climate in Paris with the anxiety of coronavirus hanging in the air. It’s unclear if the show will reveal the entire collection or what the format of the presentation will be. Each Yeezy reveal has been different. In the past, West has staged large-scale fashion performances, Instagram-driven campaigns and a runway show.

Yeezy shows often serve as a platform for West to link to his other projects. In 2016, the Atlanta-born artist performed songs from his then-unfinished album The Life of Pablo at Madison Square Gardens in New York alongside the debut of Season 3. Not much is known about Season 8, although his wife and muse, Kim Kardashian-West, has been seen wearing nude-colored flip flops from the collection seen last summer while out in Los Angeles.
