Kanye West's mysterious fourth Yeezy fashion show is set to take place today. Here's everything you need to know in real-time:

Update, 4:45 PM: Models walked a triangular-shaped runway surrounding a field of additional models who stood lined up wearing spandex looks, all matching their skin tones.

Update, 4:00 PM: Models have begun to lineup across a field in skin-colored spandex looks, similar to Yeezy's past collections. Unlike last season, the show's soundtrack is not set to the tune of West's latest tracks but instead atmosphere music. The cast of models features young girls all of different body sizes and skin tones.

The show's official venue is Smallpox Hospital on Roosevelt Island.

West is selling Yeezy Season 4 merch outside the event, just in case show-goers want a souvenir. T-shirts that have the official invite printed on them are being sold for $75.

Update, 3:30 PM: The Yeezy Season 4 show has been pushed back to 4:00 PM instead of its original 3:00 PM start-time.

Models rumored to be walking in today's show were spotted boarding buses to Four Freedoms Park in Roosevelt Island.

Update, 2:45 PM: Kendall Jenner Snapchatted a sneak-peek at her Yeezy Season 4 look on her way to the show:

Update, 2:00 PM: Guests boarded a surprisingly low-key coach bus (no decked out Yeezy charter here) from Chelsea to the show's location on Roosevelt Island, New York. Follow on Bazaar's Snapchat (@harpersbazaarUS) for a behind-the-scenes look at the bus ride:

Carine Roitfeld shared a sneak-peek at the models for Yeezy Season 3 earlier this afternoon:

When: Today, Wednesday Sept. 7, at 3 PM EST

Live stream: Tune in below or at season4.tidal.com to watch the presentation as it happens live. The cameras will turn on shortly before the show starts at 3:00. Tidal subscribers will be able to see the full event, but non-members will only be able to see a 1-minute preview. (You can always sign up for a free trial and then cancel when you can.)

The location: Though the venue itself is still not confirmed (even though it's the day of the show), the show will reportedly take place at Four Freedoms Park at Roosevelt Island in New York. Editors and guests were sent invites this morning with directions to meet at a location in Chelsea an hour and a half before the show starts. They'll be transported by shuttles to the presentation.

The models: Kanye tweeted a casting announcement for the show on Sept. 3, just four days before the presentation. The guidelines were specific: "multiracial women only," no makeup and "come as you are."

Though no celebrity models have been announced or confirmed to walk the Yeezy runway, rumours were circulating this morning that Teyana Taylor—the star of West's "Fade" music video—will make an appearance.

The designs: Unlike last year when West teased his collection with the photos on Twitter, this time around he's kept details on the clothing super secret. The only sneak-peek so far has come in the form of Kim Kardashian West's rainy day outfit yesterday when she stepped out in what's rumoured to be Yeezy Season 4 boots:

West did tweet months ago that he was only designing children's clothes for Season 4, but that might have changed since he requested women models over the weekend.

The set-up: What we do know about the presentation is that West is still collaborating with Vanessa Beecroft, the installation artist who's worked with him since Season 1. She's the one responsible for the models being organized in standing formations rather than walking on a runway. The show is also confirmed to be by Adidas.
