A$AP Rocky’s cultivated image is like no other – a free spirit, unbound by the chains of trend and mimicry, his music, fashion statements, and entire aura is of a man with unmatched energy doing whatever he wants, whenever he wants. In the latest GQ issue – one which Rocky features on the cover donning a plethora of androgynous clothing from a wide variety of designers: Vivienne Westwood, Bottega Venata, Chanel to name a few – Pretty Flacko opened up on his personal journey following on from the month-long jail spell he spent in Sweden. 

While locked up for a street brawl defending his friends from harassment in Sweden, Rocky’s time outdoors was limited to merely half an hour a day. In the cell, he took pen to paper and designed a collection for Parisian Marine Serre, a process Serre calls “natural and easy” unlike many collaborations today.
