The star set Twitter ablaze earlier this month when he took to the Coachella stage in a red crewneck sweater with the sleeves missing and the bottom cut a few inches above its original hem. On and off the stage, Kid Cudi has achieved a look synonymous with his rapper-turned-rock star persona. Jake Reed can be reached at [email protected].

A little over six months after Jeffrey , Pharrell Williams would be the first man to star in a Chanel handbag campaign. West is pictured carrying a Goyard briefcase, dressed in a tailored plaid trench coat, fitted jeans, and red leather driving gloves; on his feet, the sleek Louis Vuitton sneakers he designed in collaboration with Marc Jacobs, then at the helm of the French house.
Who could have predicted that these two street style peacocks would rise to be major players in the fashion world? At the time, West and his fashion cohorts were ridiculed by many of their music industry peers for their dandy fashion choices: the bright colors, the form-fitting silhouettes, the designer man bags.
Back then, the look of hip-hop was generally defined by an oversize, low-slung silhouette, a swaggering sensibility that was echoed in the hypermasculine tone of the era. Whatever his dubious rightwing politics might be now, West was seen as something of a thought leader in hip-hop back then. In fashion terms, that which divided the old guard from the new came down the proportions of their pants.
Danny Brown, an indie rapper from Detroit who gained popularity in the early s, claimed to have been refused a record deal by 50 Cent based on the fact that Brown was wearing skinny jeans.
Perhaps in homage to that forward-thinking style, Travis Scott posted an Instagram picture of himself last fall in the very same printed silk shirt. He had a knack for nailing tricky-to-pull-off runway looks, many of which challenged gender norms man bags, pearls, etc. In fact, few men or women for that matter can claim to rock a babushka with quite the same panache as he does.
Suddenly the idea of drawing boundaries, be they along gender or genre lines, seemed deeply old-fashioned. Beyond bringing out some of the biggest names in music—Rihanna, Travis Scott, and Kanye West, with whom he shared an emotional bear hug at his debut show for Louis Vuitton —the creative director has also collaborated with some of the most important new voices on the scene right now, none more weird, wonderful, or boundary-pushing than Lil Uzi Vert.
In the clip, Uzi is in his deepest, darkest feelings, staggering around the 10th arrondissement of Paris dressed in a crystal-studded black sweater, tight black pants, and a cropped hooded jacket replete with bondage-style straps. The self-proclaimed rockstar appeared at the Billboard Awards in wearing a sheer lace Valentino with frilly sleeves and shut down the red carpet. Then there was the time he inadvertently paid homage to Avril Lavigne on Instagram, dressed in a black and pink off-the-shoulder Faith Connexion top with a matching Goyard satchel bag.
The side-by-side meme of the two musicians went viral.
