Perhaps part of its intrigue is the level of mystery that surrounded the show – it was announced just days ago, details were kept on lockdown and, strict on images, West allowed no photographers to shoot it save for the ones he organised. One exception is these instant film pictures by Dazed contributor and one of the show’s main stylists Akeem Smith, who captured the models behind the scenes – including snaps of Kylie and Bella, and performance artist-slash-Kanye collaborator Vanessa Beecroft.
