In 2011, when Rocky was 23, he signed a $3 million major-label deal after dropping his breakout mixtape, Live.
His professional career has also been marked by a mix of triumph and heartbreak. At the age of 16, he spent two weeks in Rikers Island for firing a gun at a neighborhood bully in Harlem, where he grew up. If being stuck in a Swedish jail and suddenly part of Trump’s agenda sounds to you like an unusual position for someone to be in, it wasn’t an entirely unfamiliar scenario to Rocky. However, he had nothing but time, so he sat in his cell and sketched away. He didn't know if the discerning Parisian designer would agree to work with AWGE, Rocky's creative agency that functions as a platform for his fashion projects. He got a pen and paper, which he used to sketch out the idea of a dress that looks imported from a dystopian future: Picture a vintage T-shirt, stretched and elongated, then finished with a kilt-like hem and a Jedi master hood. Rocky had been a fan of Serre's conceptual regenerative streetwear for a few years, and one day in his cell, he began to conceive the outline for a collaboration.

She’s been opening up about her unconventional approach to maternity dressing in recent interviews, telling Refinery29, “Right now I’m really into pushing the idea of sexy. Since then, Rihanna’s turned heads in lace-up shirts, 2000s-inspired crop tops and even a $5,000 designer catsuit. The Bad Gal’s showing no signs of toning down her signature sexy style while expecting, having announced her pregnancy last month in a barely-buttoned vintage Chanel puffer that revealed her heavily bejeweled bump (and sparking a run on pink pink coats in the process). Rihanna was joined by boyfriend A$AP Rocky, 33, who elevated his all-black outfit with mustard ski gloves and a logo-covered Gucci suitcase. Lilac eye makeup (to match that jacket, naturally) and a slick of red lipstick finished off the Fenty Beauty founder’s look. She teamed the belly-baring shirt with low-slung, dragon-printed pants and a fluffy lavender coat, amping up the shine with a heavy-metal headdress and several necklaces - including a giant blinged-out Briony Raymond cross. The pregnant pop superstar, 34, was the guest of honor at Gucci’s fall 2022 show on Friday, dressed in a latex and lace crop top that showed off her baby bump.
