The 15-minute runway show took place on Wednesday, February 15, at NYC’s Pier 59 Studios around 3:25 p.m. ET. The venue’s security was super-tight, and the front row was packed with the 39-year-old rapper’s family and friends, an eyewitness tells Us.

“The show was completely dark,” an attendee tells Us. “Everyone was using their cell phone lights to find their seats . . . There were projections of a few of the looks above everyone’s head and then a runway show, showing lots of athleisure wear and one fur jacket.”

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the collection featured oversized jackets and streetwear styles with appliques of the names of L.A. neighborhoods, including Calabasas, Lost Hills and Agoura where the Kardashian family has homes. When the show was finished, the Grammy winner didn’t even come out to take a bow.
