A$AP Rocky continues to rock the rap and fashion world with an appearance on the runway at Hood By Air's Fall 2013 show on Sunday during New York Fashion Week.
The rapper defines himself as a trendy, fashion savvy, pretty boy rapper with roots in the Harlem underworld. So rocking Shayne Oliver's line Hood By Air was a perfect fit.
A$AP is one of the first celebrities to support Shayne's line that showcased dark, urban, gothic themes during the Sunday show in New York's Milk Studios. Aside from the clothing, the show itself took on a dark and twisted mood. The music was abstract and jarring and the continuous strobe and dark lights contributed to the shows oddity. Not the mention the show's strange choreography broke from the Fashion Week norm in a style never seen before.
Aside from rapper's runway debut, the show gained much support from fellow designers, artists and musicians, almost all of them associated with a similar genre to A$AP's. The big names that were seen watching from the front row included Waka Flocka Flame, Theophilus London, Terence Koh, and Genevieve Jones.
A$AP Rocky's influence is ever-expanding, proving his appearance on the runway to benefit both the rapper and Shayne. A$AP's debut album's single "F**kin Problems" still sits in the Billboard's Hot 100 Top 10 after 14 weeks on the charts and is now certified platinum.
