Why ASAP Rocky's GUESS Collab is Important

A$AP Rocky and GUESS collaborate to produce one of the most authentically nostalgic capsule collections we might ever see. Rocky said in a HOT 97 interview with Ebro Darden, he drew inspiration from the 1993 film "Menace II Society", most obvious in the first scene:

Even further he  pulled original designs from the 1990s GUESS archives for this collection and he covers all the bases. From overalls, to turtlenecks, the silhouettes suggests European influences, but is classic nonetheless in its execution. Set to release online February 16th, you can purchase this gear for a fair price between $34 and $228. The logo heavy minimal brand design is making a come back and as history repeats itself, why not present history itself?

Introducing the GUESS Originals x A$AP Rocky Collection. Reliving street fashion's infant, albeit golden years, the video, narrated by none other than Rocky himself, follows a group of rebellious youths seeking a nostalgic fix. Feeding their curiosity, the troop gets together and ends up crashing a huge warehouse, stumbling upon the soon-to-be-released GUE$$ capsule which includes pieces that pay homage to early '90s hip-hop influences.
