At least two models, including Amina Blue, were seen walking on the runway in their broken heels and some fashion editors decided to leave mid-show.

AceShowbiz - Even Kanye West doesn't always get what he wants. The rapper had big plans for his Yeezy Season 4 fashion show in New York City on Wednesday, September 7, but the anticipated event tuned into a nightmare after a very late start.
The show taking place on Roosevelt Island was supposed to begin at 3 P.M., but kicked off nearly two hours later. Some female models, who had spent hours standing still in skimpy outfits and not much else under the hot blazing sun, then collapsed due to the 85-degree heat.

Meanwhile, some others were visibly exhausted as they decided to take a seat on the Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park lawn. An assistant was seen handing out water bottles to the girls.
That, however, wasn't all. During the fashion show, two models including Amina Blue were forced to walk the runway in broken heels. Amina was caught on camera struggling to walk in her 3-inch heels which she eventually took off and got rid of in the middle of the show.

Probably thinking that the whole thing was painful to watch, some fashion editors chose to leave the presentation early. "Watching editors leave #YeezySeason4 But I feel obligated to watch out for these models and see what else they have to go through," Stella Bugbee of New York Magazine wrote on Twitter.

Bugbee was hardly the only one unhappy with Kanye's latest fashion show. Robin Givhan of The Washington Post also took to Twitter on Wednesday to complain about it. "Is this the show? Waiting until the models collapse one by one? #YeezySeason4 #NYFW Am I complicit? What's going on!" she asked.
