When A$AP Rocky makes a move, it seems the whole world stops to pay attention. The same week the artist’s capsule collection with J.W. Anderson went on sale, Rocky has now been named as one of the newest faces of Dior Homme.
Few should be surprised by the sartorial risings of A$AP Rocky, who immediately took the men’s fashion world by storm and is now seen sitting front row at some of the most prominent fashion shows around the world. His fashion accolades are quite impressive, ranging from his campaign with Guess Jeans to his collaboration with Jeremy Scott.
Speaking to WWD, Dior Homme creative director Kris Van Assche said, “I really like (A$AP Rocky’s) personal style and taste. He’s a real fashion lover. He feels like fashion really influences his own work, and he has strong opinions on that.”
Van Assche’s new campaign also features a number of other rising stars across several creative fields — Kids filmmaker Larry Clark, French actor Rod Paradot and model Dylan Roques.
“I mean, it’s dope when you can mix it. It’s all about taking two worlds like streetwear and high-end and kind of mashing them together,” A$AP Rocky told WWD about his latest collaboration.“But when it comes to Dior, it’s just prestige and elegance in my opinion. It’s almost like Coco Chanel was for the lady.”
Though we frequently delve into the world of #BlackGirlMagic here, it is always heartwarming to give our Bombers of the world some love too. Rocky is the first person of color to become a face for Dior Homme, plus he is always a frequent reminder that fashion no longer has just one aesthetic, look, or face.
We can’t wait to see what comes from his Dior campaign! What do you think of A$AP Rocky’s latest collab with Dior Homme?
