Look 1: Paris Fashion Week Men's
First up, we have our Harlem boy sporting one of the wavier looks from Dior Homme's rave-culture-inspired autumn/winter collection. As the face of the French label, you’d expect to see Rocky representing, but there are few guys who could wear a printed two-piece like it’s just another wardrobe staple. His black turtleneck, denim jacket and matching straight-leg jeans could be plucked straight out of the golden days of the UK garage scene, but Lord Flacko keeps things feeling nice and contemporary with a pair of monochrome skate-style kicks.

Look 2: Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture
Here we have the menswear maestro rocking up to Christian Dior's Haute Couture show looking positively elated, and he has reason to be. A$AP's ability to mix streetwear classics with more directional designer pieces means he’s even earned himself a place among the elite couture crowd. And who would have thought a pair of Nike x Vlone Air Force 1 Lows and white sports socks would complement a faux-fur Dior bomber jacket, graphic turtleneck and punky wide-leg pants so well? Answer: A$AP.

Look 3: New York Fashion Week Men's
To say that A$AP is a fan of Raf Simons would be an understatement. The designer has built a cult following that includes Kanye West and Luka Sabbat, as well as the self-proclaimed Fashion Killa, who delivered some certified heat for Simon's New York Fashion Week debut. In terms of high-fashion sportswear, you can’t get much hotter than a piece by Gosha Rubchinskiy, and Rocky's navy tee and white kicks are fresh from the Russian label's coveted Fila collab. Elsewhere, he adds a pop of color with a statement jacket from his AWGE x Baartmans and Siegel line and some interesting print via a pair of checked Prada pants. Well plaid.

Look 4: New York Fashion Week
Once the New York menswear designers had delivered their visions for next winter, it was time to see what womenswear had to offer, So, off A$AP popped, wearing all the color and all the trends to sit front row at his boy Raf’s first Calvin Klein collection. It isn't easy to work this many key pieces into one outfit, but naturally Rocky had no problems, managing to make a red women's puffer jacket, orange vintage CK fleece, red pants, black Air Force 1s and a cross-body look like the steeziest thing in the world. Another year, another game-changing A$AP outfit.

Look 5: Milan Fashion Week
Finally, we have Lord Flacko proving you don't always have to peacock to pull out a solid look. These days, Fashion Month is as much about the street style seen on the guys outside shows as it is about the clothes presented on the runway, so even when he’s off duty at Milan Fashion Week, A$AP knows he needs to deliver the goods. His Gucci jacket and illustrated jeans are a fresh take on double denim that don’t need much more than a white tee and Nike Jordan 1985s to make the perfect low-key statement.
