The Harlem-born artist also attended the event in 2019 with his partner Rihanna, who was accepting the Urban Luxe award for her brand Fenty. He wore an oversized black suit paired with sneakers, while she wore a satin seafoam green look by her brand.
The Bottega Veneta ambassador had the internet abuzz in September when he wore a similar look — a slouchy suit styled over a floral print tank top and black leather vest — next to fellow ambassador Jacob Elordi at the Italian label’s spring 2025 runway. Matthew Henson, Rocky’s longtime stylist, dressed him for the show.
A month later, in October, Moncler unveiled its “The City of Genius,” a Moncler Genius collection cocreated by a roster of creative talents, in Shanghai. A$AP Rocky was among the collaborators, his collection a futuristic take on biker culture.
In June, A$AP’s brand, American Sabotage, made its debut at Paris Men’s Fashion Week. Presented under his creative agency AWGE, Rocky’s first collection was a pointed takedown of the political and economic structures of the U.S.
“It was inspired by just poverty every day that I saw, mass incarceration, tax,” he said backstage after the show, describing the collection as “political satire.”
“We’ve got different political satire, and it’s just about telling my story through that,” he said. “Hopefully I didn’t commit treason.”
The performer put his First Amendment rights to good use, turning a tattered American flag into a skirt, and employing a crisper version in place of a bandanna under a baseball cap.
