A$AP Rocky feat. Rihanna – Fashion Killa

by wjournal

 

In A$AP Rocky’s latest single ‘Fashion Killa’, the Harlem mc collaborated with Rihanna. The video features Rocky taking Rihanna around town having a nice time, shopping and going in and out of stores. It seems what she’s doing to the mannequin shows what she wants to do with A$AP.

He drops many fashion designers’ names and Rihanna’s as well, so it was only appropriate to feature her in the video as well.

Her attitude Rihanna, she get it from her mama.
She jiggy like Madonna, but she trippy like Nirvana.
Cause everything designer, her jeans is Helmut Lang.
Shoes is Alexander Wang and her shirt the newest Donna.
Karan, wearing all the Cartier frames.

A$AP Ferg also makes a guest appearance in the video, mouthing acapella lyrics from his song “Murda Something”.
A figure covering his face with a skull bandana is also shown throughout the video, with the last scene taken from KIDULT’s own documentaion of tagging the word ‘ART’ in front of the Marc Jacob’s store in New York, one can conclude the figure is meant to be KIDULT.

Most interestingly A$AP Rocky told BET, “It’s about art, the whole video, we wanted to base it off art. It’s this famous/infamous tagger, KIDULT. We use his art, and we use her art for being a fashion killer, and made this conceptual video. Fashion is art.” If we put KIDULT’s action to the equation of this video, what he is doing can be interpreted as killing fashion.
