6. Playboi Carti
Style connoisseur Ian Connor has helped alongside rapper Playboi Carti introduce a completely unique and striking juxtaposition of high end design and coveted streetwear from brands such as Cav Empt, Palace Skateboards and Off-White. Costumed in not only new but mainly vintage Supreme, Carti may be the most noteworthy and salient devotee of the massively popular streetwear entity. On the track Death in Tune he proclaims “I be in the trap wearing Wang”, this joining of images representing his fashion sense of refined designer with rare streetwear viewed from a distinctively urban paradigm. The culture was unequivocally obsessed with Supreme this year and Carti stayed in the brands most striking designs casually pulling fascinating pieces from the brands archives better than any other hip hop artist.
