Call him what you want, pretty motherf*cker, fashion killa, or A$AP Rocky. Either way, he's almost always the best-dressed in the room – and he knows it. Since he first came up as a rapper the New York native has carried himself with the utmost confidence, wearing whatever makes him feel (and look) like number one. Earlier this month Rocky – born Rakim Mayers – spoke with The Times about some of his personal style preferences, specifically explaining why he doesn't go all-out for red-carpet events as some other celebs do.
"They look silly sometimes. Shout out to the people who actually execute," the soon-to-be father of two told the outlet. He mentioned that he views his music and fashion in a similar light – they're both methods of expression he enjoys using to surprise people. The self-proclaimed "godfather of mixing it up" also finds himself "naturally attracted to things that other people might find too obscure or too complicated." Obviously, he's referring to the hilarious shirt he sported during a recent trip to Japan, fully clad with miniature versions of him running through Paris in his Timbs.

For Rocky, it's all about what's not obvious to the average eye. "I like to think I’m drawn to things that others look past. Since my first song, I’ve been rapping about Raf Simons and Rick Owens. It was also about mixing high-end with streetwear. I do that in my sleep," he bragged. Elsewhere in their chat, the "Houston Old Head" hitmaker showed love to those in the fashion industry working hard to put together countless shows every season.
"I think going to a fashion show is the same as going to see an artist on stage – most people don’t realize what it takes. It’s incredible how they do it and I tip my hat to them," he told The Times.
