Modern-day fashion trends are still very much in the streetwear era and when you are finding inspiration or want to be ahead of the fashion trends that you see from fast fashion companies, you should point your attention to these 3 celebrities who are renowned for their fashion influence and setting the trends for the rest of us to follow. This also could include their past outfits from the early 2000s.
ASAP Rocky
First, we need to recognise ASAP for being acquitted from the gun trial last week! This fashion and music icon has been influencing men’s streetwear for years and will continue to do so. They say some people are just born with style and ASAP Rocky is definitely one of the gift ones. He continues to blend high fashion into everyday streetwear looks, collaborating with brands such as Dior, Calvin Klein, and Guess. He has brought streetwear to a wider audience and legitimised it within the industry.
He’s always been known for trendsetting and has been a massive vocal point for many men’s inspiration. Trends such as health goth are such a niche; it’s something he has created for others to feel inspired by, which is a huge honour in such a saturated market.
ASAP Rocky is not afraid to try new things and push the boundaries blending different styles together which is why he is my number one when it comes to rocking the streetwear game if you pardon the pun.
Tyler, The Creator
Musician, big personality and fashion icon is everything and more about Tyler, The Creator! I think it’s most appropriate, to begin with his very own brown Golf Wang, which embodies everything about his personality, both playful and colourful, while being entirely unique.
Tyler, the Creator has collaborated with many brands that resonate with the skater and streetwear community, such as Converse, vans and Supreme, which is where this whole aesthetic originates from.
His boldness and unapologetic demeanour have allowed him to express himself with fashion in many different aesthetics and encourage those within the streetwear community to express themselves through clothing while promoting a sense of inclusivity and self-acceptance.
The influence he has had boards beyond clothing, as he embodies an open, rebellious and carefree spirit, which fans admire and can take away positively.
Pharrell Williams
A talented singer and long-standing influencer in the streetwear game. Williams has been a style icon for decades and has consistently pushed the boundaries which has allowed him to be a trendsetter again and again. He is continuously blending his fashion with his music, reflecting themes and energy in the two, creating a unique impact on the fashion industry.
His collaborations include brands like Adidas, where he was able to create his own line, Chanel, and Uniqlo, which brought fresh and inviting designs to the streetwear community, which thrives on the likes of these brands.
Williams has always been so effortless in the way he blends high fashion with normal everyday streetwear items; these blends have influenced not only the likes of myself but high-value brands and other celebrities.
Final Thoughts
These are just a few of the streetwear influences we have out there and with the likes of Rihanna, Kanye West and so forth, there are so many routes of inspiration you can go down, each offering their own unique take on this style of dressing.
