Music is undoubtedly the most lasting and constantly evolving influence on the fashion industry! From Victoria Beckham to Jay Z, Kanye West, and countless others, our favorite musicians have left a powerful mark on the fashion industry. Let’s take a look at some of the most iconic contemporary brands by our favorite musicians:
Yeezy by Kanye West
Aside from his collaborations with Balmain and other brands, Kanye West has introduced us to a reinvented athleisure streetwear with restructured leather sweatpants and innovative layering staples through his iconic brand, Yeezy.
Kanye’s Yeezy has been around for over a decade, and during this period, it has cemented itself in the streetwear fashion scene with its trendy collections and unpretentious styles that appeal to all ages. However, Kanye’s journey into the fashion industry hasn’t been without its share of problems.
Many of his collections, particularly his footwear lines, have failed to garner much attention or revenue for that matter. Yet, the Yeezy brand always manages to deliver a powerful punch of bold ensembles season after season.
A$AP Rocky
Even though A$AP Rocky doesn’t exactly have his own fashion brand, this talented musician and creative genius have left a powerful mark on the fashion industry with his high-end collaborations with luxury designers.
From Dior Homme and Gucci to Guess and J.W Anderson, this powerhouse of talent has flooded the fashion industry with a unique sense of style that is inspired by a laidback comfort, and the signature hipster vibe of the streets. His designs introduce men to a distinctive vibe of rocking hip streetwear ensembles.
Fenty Puma X Rihanna
From her sassy and bold athleisure collection to the sleek and ultra-glamorous universal red color of the Stunna lip paint, Rihanna has inspired, innovated and reinvented fashion unlike any other musician in the history of music. This insanely talented star won us over with all her collaborations with Fenty Puma, and we simply couldn’t get enough of the quirky and eclectic street style trends that she has introduced during the last few years.
Aside from the effortlessly chic backpacks, outerwear staples and eclectic athleisure looks, Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty cosmetic line is garnering raving reviews across the world, giving a tough competition to all other cosmetic brands producing the same products. Bad girl Riri has truly stolen the show with her craft and creativity!
Pharrell
Pharrell’s collaborations with Louis Vuitton, the Billionaire Boys Club, and other brands funneled the industry with a youthful taste of reinvented styles and trends that are literally a breath of fresh air for the millennial. From quirky t-shirts to high-end sunglasses, outerwear and much more, Pharrell’s designs are all the rage across the industry, especially his collaboration with Adidas, which even outsold Kanye’s line-up for Yeezy.
