Kanye West leaks pictures of his next fashion collection
Kanye West's next fashion show is so hyped, even Kanye can't stop talking about it.
Forget about surprises at Yeezy Season 3, which will show Thursday at New York Fashion Week. The rapper and fashion designer just spoiled the show by posting key pictures on his Twitter. And by the looks of it, the collection is attempting to surpass expectations from the previous two seasons.

With the help of friend and fellow sartorial connoisseur, A$AP Rocky, West tweeted many of the curious backstage looks.
Here's what we know so far:
1. There will finally be bright colors.
Unlike his muted color palettes for his previous two seasons, we see that West is veering toward splotches of brights, including a sweater in a bright orange and red, along with a layered look featuring a powder blue vest, orange sweats and a forest green zip-up.
2. Kim Kardashian is his forever muse.
West posted this photo with the caption, "Wifey look." The ensemble features lush Mongolian lamb fur, chain metal fringe, a jewel-encrusted skirt and pearl-lined boots, perhaps inspired by the shoes he designed for Giuseppe Zanotti in 2012.
3. He's trying to make socks and heels a thing.
While fashion girls have been rocking bright socks with stilettos for a while now, West is taking it to the next level with these lucite pairs. While we're unsure about the direction he's headed, it's certainly a curious choice of styling.
4. The next Yeezy Boost 350s will be in white.
For those wondering what 'Ye will introduce next, he just confirmed that the next color for his popular sneakers will be white. Whether the shiny ones in the background are part of the next launch is still TBD.
5. Waterproof boots are now cool.
If you're ready to retire your L.L. Bean snow boots, West has you covered. Here are three styles: purple on black, black on black, tan on khaki, and orange on grey. Getting them is another story.
6. More holes
You thought the $2,000 sweaters with the holes in them (a la Balmain in 2010) was a bit out of your price range? According to this sweater paired with another intricate metallic skirt situation, there will be a lot more to come.
7. Kylie Jenner will be its No. 1 fan.
She's already modeled for 'Ye's second season, but we can't help but notice that the line must be totally Kylie-approved. This look posted is a cropped turtleneck with a zipped up skirt — which is Jenner's look, all day, every day.
