The Setting
Last week in Paris, A$AP Rocky transformed the Temple de l’Étoile into a dramatic mashup of courtroom and catwalk for his second AWGE runway show, titled “Obligatory Fashion.” The vibe? Neo-Gothic arches, metal detectors, security guards in branded tactical vests — part theatre, part social statement.
The Message
Rocky used this runway to explore how our clothes become our “uniforms” — how tracksuits, boxers, and even sweatshirts stamped “NOT GUILTY” shape how the world sees us. With nods to his own legal battles, the show blurred the lines between private identity and public perception.
Runway Highlights
-
Streetwear Meets Suiting: Oversized blazers with visible boxers. Courtroom docs turned into clutches. Ties styled with sneakers.
-
Bold Accessories: Puffer-style Ray-Bans, statement PUMA collabs like the Mostro Gabbia.
-
Beauty & Edge: Hair in giant rollers, bruised-eye makeup — a nod to both grooming and grit.
A Family Moment
One of the night’s standout scenes? Rihanna arriving, pregnant and holding their toddler Riot — who sat front row until Rocky scooped him up for a father-son runway finale. It reminded everyone that fashion isn’t just hype — it’s family, legacy, and real life.
