A$AP Rocky, the Fashion Newcomer.

I love this New York negro. First of all, his music is on point like always, and THEN he's a baby fashionista (I don't know if you're supposed to call boys fashionista's, but I just did.) He's a big fan of Givenchy, Balmain, Rick Owens, Jeremy Scott, and singlehandedly resurrected S.S.U.R. There's a really interesting interview with GQ magazine where they showed him runway photos from different designers like Martin Margiela, Givenchy, Raf Simons, and he gave his honest opinions of the designer digs. Cool stuff. Check that out here.


I enjoy him not only for his music, but because he is just different, which is becoming more and more rare in a world of posers and followers. Hood nigga that really understands fashion and what is progressive and new. When's the last time you saw dudes wearing braids the way he does? It was like the 90s or something.. And I've seen plenty of guys wearing their hair like this now. Leave it to the young ones to start setting trends. At this point in fashion, braids are back for guys and girls, and it's fly. But I still don't think I can get with straight back corn rows on men....unless your name rhymes with Smandre Smreethousand.

Musically and visually, we should be expecting great things from A$AP Rocky. Now that he's on the scene, I'm pretty sure he's here to stay. Rocky's debut major label album "Long Live A$AP" was just released this week on January 15th. You can find the album here.
