"There will be two Brides": Young Thug is wearing a Dress to his Wedding

[PLUM]

Just when you thought Jeffrey already won Fashion Week, he one-ups himself in the eyes of the haute couture world by announcing that he will, indeed, be donning a dress on one of the most important days of his life: his wedding.

In a new interview with Billboard, the rapper (maybe?) formerly known as Young Thug said he plans to wear a "statement gown" for his wedding to Jerrika Karlae.

"There will be two brides," he reveals. "When it comes to swag, there's no gender involved." To which all we can say is, slay, Jeffrey, slay.

I'm disappointed no one has noted the hanbok influence here

 

He has good taste

I actually thought it was more influenced by Mortal Kombat Raiden lol

 

I could see what you're saying though

Raiden wears a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_conical_hat and I think they're typically woven while the jeonmo is often martial stretched over a base, kinda like a parasol (his flat out looks like parasol they stuck on his head lol) 

 

and the way he's wearing the cloth under kinda invokes the jangot veils too.

 

Tracked down the designer, very traditional Korean influenced, the silhouette are exaggerated but very recognizable. Not sure how'd people feel because he's Italian but I really like the pieces.

yeah but in some iterations of Mortal Kombat, Raiden wears a folded/ruffled conical hat, which is similar to the one Young Thug is wearing. 

 

 

His outfit was designed by Alessandro Trincone and he said it was Japanese-inspired apparently since he studied fashion and design in Japan

obviously there's gonna be some convergence between Korean/Japanese traditional styles given their historical cultural proximity so by extension it's not too far off

He generally has really good and aesthetically pleasing covers. I like them all, especially this one and Slime season 2

 

Goddamn i need to stop being lazy and give a listen to all of his projects instead of just looking, yikes.

some of the pieces do look pretty dead on for traditional male Japanese wear, so I can def see that influence too.

I don't get why him wearing a dress is so shocking. It's 2016...

Because masculinity is fragile and most of them don't really take care of their looks

That doesn't make it shocking though.
