The 'Stronger' hitmaker debuted the line in front of US Vogue editor Anna Wintour, Beyonce, Jay Z, his wife Kim Kardashian West and their 19-month-old daughter North West, with his sister-in-law Kylie Jenner taking centre stage in the show.
The 17-year-old beauty - who was spotted wearing a pair of Yeezy Boost trainers earlier this week - stunned on the catwalk with her raven hair slicked back, sporting Kanye's new collection, which featured oversized camouflage jackets, nude bodysuits and a variety of footwear from elastic-adorned high top trainers to knee high suede boots.
The show - which took place in an industrial space in Manhattan by the Hudson River - opened with a bizarre monologue from the 37-year-old rapper in which he urged people to "follow their dreams".
He said: "I want people to feel like it's OK to create and follow their dreams are and not feel boxed in - I want people to feel that awesome is possible. There's a lack of creativity in every field because people are afraid. As an artist in this room, we can do whatever we want.
"There's a series of, you know, people who like writing negative comments. They want to joke around and say, 'Why is he still trying?' . . . I'm here to crack the pavement and make new grounds, you know, sonically and society, culturally."
Kanye also took the opportunity to debut his new track 'Wolves', which was co-written with 'Chandelier' hitmaker Sia and Chicago rapper Vic Mensa, as the soundtrack to the show.
Other A-list guests in attendance included Big Sean, Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Kim's mother Kris Jenner and her sisters, Kendall Jenner and Khloe Kardashian.
