An Avant-Garde Stylist – Things Hip-Hop Can’t Live Without

With the maturation of hip-hop culture, rappers are learning to experiment with different wardrobes and foreign labels. There's something to be said about the fact that the biggest artists on the bill in 2013, are wearing some of the most outrageous looks straight off the runway, whether it be on red carpets or the stage.

Who could forget Kanye's feathered Givenchy mask? Or A$AP Rocky's T-shirt dress on '106 & Park'? Not to mention 2 Chainz and his affinity for rocking gaudy silk blouses. Although it's great to see rappers in clothes that fit perfectly, sometimes it seems like the days of the hoodie and jeans look are over and that basic outfit is missed. We all have the avante-garde stylist to thank for the switch.
