Kanye West‘s Yeezy Season 4 collection arrived at an abandoned smallpox hospital on Roosevelt Island during NYFW on Wednesday, and got off to a bumpy start!

Yeezy reportedly got into a fender bender on his way to the show, which was pushed back an hour to 4 p.m. EST — err, 4:49 p.m. EST — and people were NOT happy about having to wait.
Check out some reactions (below):

According to reports, top fashion editors were shuttled to the venue, but were not given any snacks or water.
Snacks? For fashion people? WHY.
We also learned that t-shirts were being sold for a hefty price tag:

And, yes, we promise there used to be a smallpox hospital in that building:

While it doesn’t seem like anyone knew what to expect from the highly-anticipated fashion show after his Famous Yeezy Season 3 presentation earlier this year, Twitter definitely wasn’t expecting this!

And apparently, the heat was so intense a model actually fainted!
A model needed water. The poor models. This is cruelty. #YeezySeason4

One model just fainted. #YeezySeason4

But of course she tried to stand up again, because: FASHION!! #YeezySeason4
— Stella Bugbee (@stellabugbee) September 7, 2016
Model passed out in the heat is given water by man in the audience but no one on the #YeezySeason4 team helps.
