Kanye West debuted his second fashion whatsis at the Paris Fashion Week Tuesday night. Here’s everything you need to know about West’s show but was afraid to ask.

+ It got off to a somber start with some of the celebs reporting that the show had an ominous vibe. The guys at British Vogue tweeted that it was empty close to show time.

+ A ton of celebs sat front row this time, as opposed to when he had a bunch of fashion people sit out front. That’s a good thing, I guess.

+ Wiz Khalifa was not invited.

+ Some big enchiladas at Kanye’s show/after party/after after party: Teyana Taylor, Jay-Z, Anna Wintour, Ann V, Azealia Banks, Common, Big Sean, Mos Def, Diddy, Cassie, Swiss Keys and Alicia Beatz, Kim Kardashian.

+ Speaking of Kim K, she rocked those $5,892.74 Kanye West x Giuseppe Zanotti shoes that made the rounds on the web last week.

+ While Kim rocked those heels like a champ, other models didn’t find them so comfy. British beauty Jourdan Dunn had trouble getting mounting them. She tweeted: “The shoes are crazy high! So my legs look crazy right now!” and “Don’t get me wrong the shoes are sexy as fuck but you can’t walk in them!” So if paying six grand for shoes you can’t walk in is your kinda thing, Yeezy’s got your back.

+ Yeezy’s first show was panned by fashion critics, the likes of NYT‘s Eric Wilson. West spotted Wilson in the press room and politely kicked him out. Needless to say, that didn’t raise West’s standing with Wilson in the second review. In the spirit of fairness, Wilson did like an oversize sweatshirt.

+ Yes, there were go-karts at the after party.
