PHOTOGRAPHY bY Kimi SelfRidGe (A$AP ROCKY); COuRTeSY Of GueSS (ClOTHiNG) As if being one of the world's most popular hip-hop recording artists wasn't enough, rapper and fashion darling A$AP Rocky has partnered with Paul Marciano to produce Guess Originals x A$AP Rocky, the debut collection from the Guess Originals initiative. The pieces are all vintage-cool with an edge, born from what A$AP calls "a personal collection" of quintessential '90s fashion influences: oversize denim jackets, overalls, and in-your-face, logo- centric stylings. "It's taking archival designs and adding a new twist," says the 27-year-old. "I wanted to bring back that feeling and revisit that nostalgic time in hip-hop and urban culture when Guess was a household name." With a denim-heavy focus, the throwback line has something for every- one, from denim trucker jackets for the guys to acid-washed high-rise shorts for the ladies. Guess even debuts its gue$$ logo (encased in the signature inverted triangle synonymous with the '90s) as a nod to A$AP—and the past reprised. 80 Newbury St., 617-267-0746; guess.com . Hip-Hop to it!
