‘Black History’: A$AP Bari debuts first VLONE hood fashion show in Paris

A$AP Bari is making waves in the fashion industry.

Bari’s streetwear brand, VLONE, live streamed its first fashion show today exclusively on Tidal. The runway show took place last night during Paris Men’s Fashion Week.

Definitely a huge milestone for the A$AP Mob member. His decision to showcase the street wear Spring/Summer 2018 Collection was more than simple promotion. His mission was to inspire the youth and those who look up to him and his brand.

In an interview with WWD earlier this month, Bari spoke on his mission, he said,

“I wanted to show in Paris to see if I could complete the mission I’m going for…

“I’m trying to show kids that you can do anything. I’m not a kid that went to fashion school. I’m not a kid that went to college and studied fashion. I’m a kid that grew up in fashion and learned it from a life experience.”

The show debuted his first full line collection, entitled Black History.

The collection included lots of leather, straps, camouflage, and denim. Models strutted around a transparent maze-like runway design wearing denim jackets bearing the word “Friends” sewn on the front with huge “V’s” on the back.

Ominous trap music played while models displayed shirts bearing the phrase “Real Men Wear Black.”

Another huge bonus from streaming the show, Bari debuted new colorways of the Vlone & Nike Air Force 1 highs, including black/blue, black/yellow, and black/yellow/orange.

Virgil Abloh, A$AP Rocky, and designer Samuel Ross, along with many other figureheads of the hip-hop and fashion worlds, were in attendance for the event. Theophilus London tweeted his favorite looks from the Black History Collection.

From KD to Drizzy: All the influencers who are rocking VLONE (Photos)

VLONE isn’t just another streetwear brand. It’s hood fashion at its finest.

When A$AP Bari, A$AP Rocky, and CLOT’s Edison Chen first came together in 2014 they defined the direction of the company, knowing that it would soon be the new wave that encapsulated their own lifestyle, but was also universally real to everybody.

Keeping it as authentic as possible, Bari, Rocky, and Chen have created the brand that dudes like Uzi, Playboi Carti, and everyone in A$AP can vibe with. But VLONE goes far beyond A$AP Mob and friends.

Today, everyone who understands the movement is rocking this shit. From MVPs to the biggest artists in the game, they’re all rocking the flyest brand out right now.

It all started with Rocky and Bari making it a lifestyle.
