Could this be the future of beauty? Actor, rapper, A$AP Rocky, tweeted this concept to his nearly 7 million followers: “Guys. How can I wear my runway patterns?
“I’m so glad you’re wearing your designs for free because we need to give high-end labels more of a chance to profit off their work. Thank you for being wearing my designs and the way you celebrate them!
“Fuck the 90’s. Give me my fucking designs and make me money!!!! You don’t get the “real” clothes, you get access to all my designs!
“If I had the pocket money I make in a week, I’d be obsessed. For you, I have three brands and three colour palettes!
“Why can’t we just work through artistry and be as free and adventurous as I am? Mine is dope, yes! If you’re a fan of my designs, support them.
“Showering support on the heroes of our generation!” The post’s hashtag, “#supportyourfashioncelebrities“, has raised many, many eye rolls from fans on Twitter, who believe Rocky is out of touch with reality.
“If A$AP Rocky is smart he would learn and grow from the mistakes he made. Artists, writers, CEOs should take notes and learn what not to do,” one said. Another wrote: “For all the projects I’ve worked on and all the money I’ve spent trying to make a living in this field, my art has not meant a cent in profits. Not a cent.
“My art gave me the one benefit I could have while I work on my business and that is the knowledge I have to bring to my business.”
Also, how the hell does someone who doesn’t know about the economics of fashion become this well-educated?
I hate to tell you this, but Rocky is quite the artist. Enjoy his striking digital sculptures below!
