North West makes quite the convincing Yeezy model [1], and you only have to look at the brand's latest social media post [2] to see why. On Sunday, July 29 a selfie of West appeared on the brand's Instagram profile, featuring her clad in a large pair of silver shield sunglasses at the brand's studio. "YZY SPLY SHDZ," the caption read, referring to an upcoming launch by YEEZY SUPPLY, Kanye West [3]'s sneaker line.
Kim Kardashian [4] also documented the moment on her Instagram story, showing her daughter modeling the futuristic eyewear in a black sleeveless leather onesie. During her visit, West showed off her creativity when she got to making some Yeezy design sketches [5]. She drew two alien figures on pieces of fabric, one of them rocking a pair of dark sunglasses similar in silhouette to the ones she wore and the other sporting what appeared to be a tongue accessory in the shape of a plait. Both sketches featured physical braids. Clearly, the young star takes after her parents with her budding design skills.
During Paris Fashion Week, West pulled off edgy ensembles and accessories — from oversize Balenciaga jackets [6] to faux-nose rings [7] — cementing her place as a rising style icon [8], not to mention the vintage cobalt blue Pastelle jacket [9] she casually brought back from her father's archives or the steampunk-inspired Jean Paul Gaultier suit [10] she wore to the brand's show. Although she had the help of stylists for these appearances, West has consistently shown a unique point of view when it comes to her fashion choices [11].
Does her recent visit hint at a future collaboration with Yeezy? While we wait to find out, read on to view the young star in action.
