Kanye West has started the search for models to showcase his Yeezy Season 4. According to a casting sheet posted on the rapper's Twitter, he is looking for "multiracial women only."
This received mixed reactions from Twitter users. @aringarianas blasted the rapper, "Why only multiracial? ... like no black woman? or latina." @WhiteEyedShadow had a different opinion on the matter, "Most of African Americans are multiracial. It's just a code for no white women."
@KissesandHugs1 responded, "50 million of US whites have a black ancestor. Some also have Native American ancestry. We all 'mixed.' " But then @BriMalandro quipped, "Do they need to bring their https://ancestry.com dna results to the call or ..."
Applicants are asked to wear no makeup. "Come as you are," reads the casting call. Audition will take place Sunday, September 4 in New York. Kanye is expected to hand-pick every model like he usually did for his fashion shows and look-books in the past. He will showcase his latest collection during the first day of New York Fashion Week next Wednesday, September 7.

Kanye unveiled his Yeezy Season 3 at NYFW earlier this year while holding a listening party for his new album, "The Life of Pablo", at Madison Square Garden. The venue for Season 4 is still kept under wraps, but he is coincidentally booked for two-night show at the MSG on September 5 and 6.
