A$AP Ferg doesn’t believe in limits. Not in music, not in art, and certainly not in fashion. His first major standalone capsule collection — announced without fanfare on social media and sold out within hours — is a statement about belonging, about the arbitrary nature of gendered clothing, and about what streetwear can be when it stops trying to be exclusive.
« I don’t believe in the limits between men’s and women’s fashion. I believe in the energy a piece gives off. The rest is social construction. »
— A$AP Ferg
Pieces for Every Body
Oversized hoodies in soft, muted tones. Cargo pants with reimagined cuts that sit differently on different bodies — beautifully. Bomber jackets with embroidery inspired by Afro-Caribbean cultural iconography. Each piece was designed, Ferg explains, to « belong to anyone. » Sizing runs from XS to 4X in every style. There are no « men’s » and « women’s » sections on the website — only « looks. »
« I grew up watching my aunts and my cousins wear my dad’s flannels and make them look better than he ever did, » Ferg told us. « Fashion was always shared in my family. Why would I make something that puts walls around who gets to wear it? » The collection is already being cited by fashion critics as one of the most genuinely inclusive releases of the year.
