Cassie Ventura and Sean Combs - The “are-they-or-aren’t-they-a-couple” Bad Boy duo styled in the front row in fresh looks. She debuted bangs with her half-shaven hairdo and opted for a sheer top, quilted pants and red Nikes that matched her lip and nails, while he kept it fly in a leather jacket over crisp pants and aviator shades.

Diddy and Shyne - The rapper and Diddy reunited at a few shows during Paris Fashion Week. At Kanye’s show, Shyne, who is now an Orthodox Jew after serving 10 years in prison for a nightclub shooting, showed off his traditional Hasidic hairstyle — sans hat — and wore a flashy jacket, black knickers and tights.

Big Sean and Kim Kardashian - Kanye’s protégée joined the fashion set to support his G.O.O.D. music label head and wore an eye-catching fur hood over a fitted and black outfit, accentuated with gold “Jesus piece” chains. Though try as he might, his outfit or presence couldn’t outshine the camera-loving Kim Kardashian. (Photo: Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images)

Kim Kardashian and Kanye - Once rumored to be a couple, the pals definitely have each other’s backs when it comes to their respective fashion efforts. Kanye made a cameo on the Kardashian show Kourtney and Kim Take New York and weighed in on the sisters' boutique space for their East Coast Dash expansion, so it was only natural the reality starlet return the fashion favor and support his line.

Riccardo Tisci and Kanye West - If Kanye’s line looks like a rip from Givenchy’s runways, it’s probably because he’s been working so heavily with the French fashion house’s creative director, Riccardo Tisci, lately. Tisci created the album artwork for ‘Ye’s Jay-Z collaboration album Watch the Throne and also created all the costumes the fashionable rapper wore during the WTT tour (yep, you can thank him for those kilts Kanye wore!). Tisci also reportedly mentored Kanye on the current collection. (Photo: Eric Ryan/Getty Images)

Model Mayhem - Familiar faces, Joan Smalls (pictured front) and Jourdan Dunn, stormed the runway in ‘Ye’s killer heels. And that’s figuratively and literally according to Dunn, who Tweeted two days before the show: “Don’t get me wrong the shoes are sexy as f--k but you can't walk in them!” The “shoe-icide” tweet caused a slight fallout on the Internet after publications picked it up and accused ‘Ye of cussing out models for not being able to walk in the shoes, but on the day of the show Dunn updated the masses that all was well: “…for the record, the shoes are all good now!” (Photo: Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images)

One More Chance... - After his debut collection Kanye begged to be given another chance to show what he can bring to the fashion world. “This is my first collection. Please be easy. Please give me a chance to grow,” he wrote on his blog in October. “This is not some celebrity s--t.” His wish was granted and this season he showed a range of clothes that were luxe and wearable. Keep clicking to see more looks from the show. (Photo: Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images)

Far From Basic - Kanye keeps it flashy and even his more “pared down” looks were far from simple. This chunky choker, textured sweater, velvet skirt and those boots we love gave life to what could’ve been a basic look. (Photo: Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images)
