Rapper A$AP Rocky is working on a fashion collabo with Designer Alexander Wang, but adamately expressed that he is no way into “rapper clothing lines” at all. Rocky explains how he understands the hard work it takes to really produce quality garments and he does not cosign any… “Hood clothing lines…I refuse man. I refuse. I’m good on that.” (The A$AP tour tees were just a collection)
“I might collab with designers, but that s--t corny,” that PMF tells Hip-Hop Wired. “When rappers be doing that clothing line sh-t, that sh-t be corny man. That’s a slow reality show. Ya know how reality shows wash ni–as up. I feel that clothing line sh-t is just a slower reality show. That sh-t corny man.”

“I’m not no fashion designer. Just ‘cause I got good taste don’t mean that I know how to create it,” he added. “I feel that’s disrespectful. It’s just like record labels and sh-t. Just cause motherf-ckers know Hip-Hop doesn’t mean you know how to create it motherf-cker. Just cause you know it, don’t mean you know how to create it.”
So for now, the only A$AP Rocky gear fans can get a hold of will be their officially sanctioned collection of tees and tank taps. “I know brands well, I’m not a fashion designer,” reiterates Rocky. “It’s more to fashion than just fabrics and stencils. You gotta learn how to draw, you gotta know how colorways work and materials, it’s hard man.”
