What if 'Cruel Summer's fashion references combined themselves into one outfit?

by Tyler Munro

The self proclaimed Louis Vuitton Don Kanye West has been dropping lines about his favourite fashion labels for years now. With a nod to Maison Martin Margiela here, a wink to Commes des Garcons there, he’s all but made it his mission to toss top-tier designers into the modern hip-hop lexicon, and Cruel Summer doesn’t seem to change that.

For posterity’s sake, Complex made an easy to read slideshow that keeps track of the new compilation’s brand name drops, referencing everything from 2 Chainz’ love of Polo to Pusha T’s love of watches that cost more than the average house. But we noticed something: variety. You’ve got nods to shoes (Jordans, Air Yeezys), watches, tees and more and it got us thinking… what if somebody combined them all into one outfit? Do you see that horrifying image up top? That’s what we came up with. We had to leave some things out, since the mannequin only has two feet (sorry, women’s shoes), but this is probably a good idea of what to expect from the future of hip-hop style. No?

G.O.O.D Music’s Cruel Summer is out now.
