In the midst of his five-albums-in-five-weeks launch schedule, Kanye West dropped a bunch of images (including some NSFW ones) on his Twitter page on Tuesday (June 12). The shots announce the newest addition to his Yeezy collection, the Yeezy 500 Supermoon Yellow sneaker.
Enlisting the likes of Danish-born model Veneda Budny and Bad Girls Club alumni-turned-Instagram stars the Clermont Twins for the shoot, one of the more striking models is porn actress Lela Star, who is frequently touted as a “Kim Kardashian look-alike.”
In total, the campaign featured dozens of models of all different shapes, sizes, colors, and ages. While Lela Star made headlines because she went mostly nude for her photos — wearing nothing but the Yeezy 500 Supermoons and a pair of socks — most of the other models wore different pieces from the Yeezy collection.
Accompanying the various images from the shoot was the #SUPERMOON hashtag, which was part of the overall campaign.

The man behind the lens was Eli Russell Linnetz, a onetime assistant to David Mamet who was known for his work with DONDA, and who previously directed Kanye’s Teyana Taylor-starring “Fade” video.

In her exclusive “behind the scenes” video for the shoot, Lela Star said it was “unplanned” and she only got the call to be in the ads the day before she was scheduled to be on set. She also said that a fellow porn actress, Nicolette Shea, was also roped into the shoot when she mentioned her name to the Yeezy team (and she is, in fact, the blonde woman in the nude shoot with Lela Star).
