I worked nine-to-five just learning it wasn’t glamorous at all. I was able to come in and basically be an intern for a week. How did you first get involved? I was linked with them through Scott Lipps, who is a good friend of mine. This is your second collection for Agolde. We were very good at hiding the fact that we were poor people because we dressed so nicely. It gave me confidence we were taught to walk with our heads up. Has growing up in Harlem influenced your style? Yes, Harlem gave me a lot of sauce-that’s what we call it. It’s great place for food, culture, drinks, and lounges are really big. What are some of your regular Harlem spots? Red Rooster is one of my favorite spots in Harlem, and Melba’s is another restaurant I go to. The lookbook was shot with Ferg’s longtime friends on his home turf of Hamilton Heights in Harlem, New York, which is where he called W magazine from one afternoon this summer. Since January 2016, A$AP Ferg and the Los Angeles-based denim brand AGOLDE have been bridging East and West with collaborative capsule collections, the second of which will be available at The Webster on July 20th and starting July 27th. And while he and his peers like A$AP Rocky have publicly demonstrated their love for high-fashion designers like Raf Simons as well as a knack for successful brand collaborations, Ferg in particular is dead serious about his side-hustle as a designer and style savant. The 28-year-old rapper A$AP Ferg is perhaps best known as a member of the notorious New York rap group, the A$AP Mob, with his own hit singles like “Shabba” and “New Level,” as well as his most recent album, East Coast, which dropped this spring.
