Around the time A$AP Rocky was born, mesh tank tops were all the rage, so much that when it played out, it was done -- destined to remain a punchline in most conversations about fashion after the early 1990s.

At the launch of Samsung's Galaxy S III in June 2012, Rocky hit the event donning a black mesh tank with "88" printed on the front, which coincidentally (or not), is his birth year and possibly also the last time anyone in hip-hop actually wore one of these pieces.

Pulling the look together with a black bandana and slim-cut black pants, the 'Live Love A$AP' creator pushed the fashion envelope even further.
